Novel 1, 2, 4‐Triazoles as Antifungal Agents

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The development of innovative antifungal agents is essential. Some fungicidal agents are no longer effective due to resistance development, various side effects, and high toxicity. Therefore, the synthesis and development of some new antifungal agents are necessary. 1,2,4‐Triazole is one of the most essential pharmacophore systems between five‐membered
