Type: article
Abstract: Fungal infections have become a serious global health concern, affecting millions of people each year. The rising incidence of these infections can be attributed to several factors, including an increasing number of immunocompromised individuals, widespread use of antibiotics, and the evolution of drug-resistant fungal strains Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a comparative discussion and analysis of the antifungal activity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives using modern literature data. Based on the findings, specific conclusions were drawn to guide future research directions in the development of promising antifungal agents. An analysis of scientific publications in recent years focused on the antifungal properties of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives highlights the undeniable potential of these compounds as a source of new biologically active agents. Numerous studies point to the possibility of continuous modification and innovative improvement of molecules to enhance their antifungal activity. A promising approach involves modifying 1,2,4-triazole derivatives by incorporating halogen-aromatic fragments into their structure. This modification may not only enhance antifungal properties or increase their effectiveness but also reduce the overall toxicity of the compounds. Based on the literature review, 2-(((3-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)imino)methyl)phenol meets these criteria and, in our view, warrants further investigation as a potential antifungal agent.
