In an effort to find potent antifungal agents, a variety of optically active triazole derivatives with a polysulfide structure, 3, 4 and 5, were prepared and evaluated for antifungal activity against Candida albicans in vitro and in vivo. The symmetrical polysulfides 3 (m=2-4) were obtained by an oxidative coupling reaction of (2R, 3R)-2-(2, 4-difluorophenyl)-3-mercapto-1-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanol (1) or by the treatment of its thiocarbonate derivative 8 with potassium tert-butoxide. The unsymmetrical disulfides 5 were synthesized by the reaction of the thiol 1 with Bunte salts 11 or the thiosulfinate 12 or by the reaction of the thiocarbonate 8 with various thiols 13. All of these polysulfides showed potent antifungal activity against candidosis in mice.
