Myristic acid analogs that are putative inhibitors of N-myristoyl-transferase were tested in vitro for activity against yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans) and filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger). Several (+/-)-2-halotetradecanoic acids including (+/-)-2-bromotetradecanoic acid (14c) exhibited potent activity against C. albicans (MIC = 39 microM), C. neoformans (MIC = 20 microM), S. cerevisiae (MIC = 10 microM), and A. niger (MIC < 42 microM) in RPMI 1640 media. Improved synthetic methods have been developed for the synthesis of 12-fluorododecanoic acid (12a) and 12-chlorododecanoic acid (12c). Three novel fatty acids, 12-chloro-4-oxadodecanoic acid (8a), 12-phenoxydodecanoic acid (12i), and 11-(4-iodophenoxy)-undecanoic acid (13d) were also synthesized and tested.
