New-generation triazole antifungal drugs: review of the Phase II and III trials

نویسنده

چکیده

In this article, the pharmacological, microbiological and clinical development progress from Phase II and III clinical trials with the new generation triazoles albaconazole, isavuconazole, posaconazole, ravuconazole and voriconazole are reviewed. These drugs exhibit a favorable toxicity profile and possess high activity against resistant and emerging fungal pathogens. Pharmacokinetic may be affected by variability in metabolism and/or gastrointestinal absorption. Only voriconazole and posaconazole have been adequately investigated and are now indicated in the treatment and prophylaxis of invasive fungal diseases. Other triazoles; albaconazole, isavuconazole and ravuconazole are under development; therefore, their future use is unknown.

New pharmacotherapy for the treatment of onychomycosis: an update.

INTRODUCTION Onychomycosis is an infection of the nail plate that is an important priority area for the development of antifungal drugs. The high incidence of relapse and reinfection often makes onychomycosis a chronic condition. The current gold standard is oral therapy, but the development of effective topical agents remains a priority as they have fewer systemic interactions. AREAS COVERED...
