Antifungal properties of new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (literature review)

Abstract

In Ukraine, there is a targeted scientific and technical program for the development of technologies for the creation of modern domestic medicines. One of the most promising ways in this program is the development and implementation of drugs to combat various multi-resistant diseases. The study of the effect of biologically active substances on the structural components of mushrooms determines the possibility of finding new highly effective antifungal compounds. The aim of the work was the analysis and systematization of existing new data on the antifungal activity of a number of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives and the selection, based on the results of a comprehensive analysis of literary sources, of promising directions for further scientific research. Methods used: information search, synthetic, analytical, bibliographic, descriptive, generalization. The research materials were literary sources that contain information on the antifungal activity of a number of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. The authors repeatedly claim that 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with a 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one fragment show significant antifungal potential against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Foreign researchers proved that a series of triazole-containing isoxazole compounds has antifungal activity against eight fungi pathogenic to humans. Another team of scientists proved the high antifungal activity of pyrimidine derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole. Domestic authors found that the modeling of 1,2,4-triazole due to the introduction of a Sulfur atom and subsequent transformations by this atom lead in many cases to the emergence of antifungal activity in molecules. Scientists of the Zaporizhzhya State Medical and Pharmaceutical University have proven the high antifungal activity of some amino derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole. The analysis of scientific publications dedicated to the study of antifungal properties of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives in recent years proves the indisputable prospect of finding new biologically active agents among substituted 1,2,4-thiazoles. Numerous publications indicate that in recent years, new molecules have appeared in a number of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives that have antifungal properties. The authors clearly and argumentatively proved the perspective of the direction of creating new original drugs for the treatment of various fungal pathologies.
