Abstract2-(2-Hydroxyplienyl)imidazole derivatives were synthesized and tested for antiviral activity against vaccinia virus in Vero cell culture. 1-Methylimidazole 3-oxides, 1-methoxyimidazoles, and 1H-imidazoles showed no activity, whereas some 1-hydroxyimidazole derivatives hold promise, exhibiting antiviral activity and weak cytotoxicity.
