Representative esters derived from kaurenoic acid were prepared in order to evaluate their antifungal properties. Alkyl and substituted benzyl esters were obtained in good yield under mild conditions by esterification of kaurenoic acid with the corresponding alkyl halide in KOH-acetone. All synthesized compounds were tested for antifungal properties against pathogenic yeasts, hialohyphomycetes and dermatophytes. Kaurenoic acid and derivatives containing a free carboxyl group were moderately active against dermatophytes.
