Dichloro-substituted 1-(5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-yl)-1H-imidazole compounds of formula (I), in which -X- is either -CH₂-CH₂- or -CH=CH-, and their pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts, preferably the nitric acid ones. Products of formula (I) are prepared from products of formula (VI) where Z represents a leaving group such as halogen, by treatment with an excess of imidazole in dimethylformamide. Products (I) show an antifungal activity comparable -or superior- to antimycotics in the market, such as Clotrimazole and Bifonazole. |
