The antifungal activities of amphotericin B and two triazoles, Sch 39304 and fluconazole, were tested against Histoplasma capsulatum. In this study Sch 39304 compared favorably with amphotericin B in treating histoplasmosis in normal and leukopenic mice, whereas fluconazole was much less active. The differences in the efficacies of the triazoles appeared to be due to differences in their pharma...

Control of diseases caused by fungi in both medicine and agriculture is heavily dependent on the use of triazoles. As a consequence, resistance to triazoles is a threat to both human health and the sustainability of agricultural production systems. In human pathogens, particularly Candida albicans, mutations encoding alterations in the target cytochrome P450 sterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51; w...

Scedosporium prolificans and Scedosporium apiospermum (Pseudallescheria boydii) cause pulmonary and disseminated infections refractory to most currently used antifungal agents in immunocompromised patients. We therefore investigated the potential antifungal activities of the triazoles itraconazole (ITC), voriconazole (VRC), and posaconazole (PSC) in combination with human polymorphonuclear leuk...

We examined the in vitro activity of caspofungin, posaconazole, voriconazole, ravuconazole, itraconazole, and amphotericin B against 448 recent clinical mold isolates. The endpoint for reading caspofungin was the minimum effective concentration (MEC). Among the triazoles, posaconazole was most active, inhibiting 95% of isolates at <or=1 microg/ml, followed by ravuconazole (91%), voriconazole (9...

substituted 1, 2, 4- triazoles have shown multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, etc. 5-mercapto triazoles were prepared from the potassium dithiocarbazinates. these triazoles were used for preparation of different derivatives by two different schemes. in the first scheme the mannich bases were prepared from 5- marcapto-s triazole quinazolines. the 5-marcato-s-tr...

A facile and one-pot multicomponent synthesis of novel 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from alkenes at room temperature is reported. At the first step, in the presence of I2/NaN3 reagents, various alkenes were converted to the corresponding azido iodides and in the next step, the reaction of these compounds with phenylacetylene in the presence of catalytic amount of sodium ascorbate/ CuSO4...

N -Fluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triazoles underwent a microwave-heating-assisted ring opening, nitrogen molecule elimination and concomitant group rearrangement to form isolable -fluoroalkylketenimines.

Synthesis of NH-1,2,3-triazoles using an efficient, novel and easily recoverable PPy/Cu( ii ) nanocomposite.

Three neutral Cu(I) complexes bearing 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CNXyl) and different triatomic pseudohalogens (SCN−, OCN− N3−) as ligands were efficiently synthesized characterized. The solid-state structures unambiguously determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing unexpected bridging coordination modes in the case of N3−. All tested for azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAA...
