New 2-aryl-7,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2-ium salts as potential antifungal agents: synthesis, bioactivity and structure-activity relationships

Abstract The title compounds can be considered as simple analogues of quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (QBAs). In order to develop potent QBA-like antifungal agents, as our continuing study, a series of new title compounds were synthesized and evaluated for bioactivity against five plant...
