description The synthesis and full characterization of new hydroxyl benzo[<i>a</i>]phenoxazinium chlorides with <i>N</i>-(di)propyl and/or <i>N</i>-isopropyl groups in the 5 and 9 positions are described. Photophysical studies carried out in ethanol and water revealed strong absorbances and significant fluorescence emissions at up to 676 nm. The antifungal activity was assessed against <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> and the results provide possible directions for further studies.
