Pyrrolo[1,2-α][1,4]benzodiazepines (PBDs) have been described as a novel class of antifungal compounds with activity against dermatophytes and Aspergillus fumigatus. The initial structure-activity relationship showed that compounds with a chlorine substitution at position 7 have a higher activity compared with regioisomers or other substituents.
