Ethyl vanillate is an organic compound used as a perfuming agent in the cosmetic industry. It the 1950s it was investigated as a fungistatic and fungicidal agent for the treatment of histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis. It was effective in a limited number of cases, but the clinical disadvantages - high dose required to achieve the effect (up to 44 g/day) and the lack of a parenterally administrable form of a drug - prevented further development of the drug for the treatment of infectious diseases.
