A series of novel thiazole-containing triazole antifungals was synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activity against a variety of clinically isolated pathogenic fungi in vitro and against systemic candidosis in vivo. These compounds showed potent antifungal activities in vitro and in vivo. In particular, (2R, 3R)-3-[4-(4-cyanophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-2-(2, 4-difluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanol (12g; ER-30346) showed potent and well-balanced in vitro activities and potent in vivo efficacy, and had a good safety profile.
