Optically active antifungal azoles. VII. Synthesis and antifungal activity of stereoisomers of 2-[(1R,2R)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1- methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-[4-(2,2,3,3- tetrafluoropropoxy)phenyl]-3(2H,4H)-1,2,4-triazolone (TAK-187)

2-[(1R,2R)-2-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4- triazol-1-yl)propyl]-4-[4-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluopropoxy)phenyl]-3(2H,4H)-1,2,4- triazolone [(1R,2R)-1: TAK-187] is a new antifungal agent selected as a candidate for clinical trials. The three stereoisomers [(1S,2S)-, (1R,2S)- and (1S,2R)-1] of this compound were prepared to clarify the relationship between the stereochemistry and the biological activities. In vitro and in vivo assays of antifungal activity revealed TAK-187 [(1R,2R)-1] is the most potent among the four stereoisomers. Furthermore, TAK-187 was found to exert a strong and selective inhibitory effect on the sterol synthesis in Candida albicans as compared with that in rat liver.
