Abstract: Disclosed is a novel class of thiazole, thiadiazole, and oxadiazole compounds which are substituted at their nuclear carbons by aromatic moieties. These compounds exhibit antifungal activity against a variety of fungi including strains which have proven to be resistant to treatment with known antifungal agents such as Fluconazole.
