Abstract: Azole derivatives (including stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts) of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each are H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; R.sub.3 is H, OH, CN, halogen, haloalkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl, and if there are two or more R.sub.3 groups, such R.sub.3 groups may be the same or different; n is an integer from 0 to 5; Y is N or CH; and X is O, S or NH have antimycotic and aromatase inhibitory activities. Compositions containing the azole derivatives and a method of treating mycosis and estrogen-dependent diseases by administering effective quantities of the azole derivatives are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of inhibiting aromatase and treating of estrogen-dependent diseases in a patient by administering azole derivatives as nonsteroidal inhibitors. The azole derivative has the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 a is hydrogen or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5) alkyl; R.sub.2 is a hydrogen or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5) alkyl; R.sub.3 is any of a halogen, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.5)alkyl, a haloalkyl, a phenyl, a cyano, or nitro; n is 0 to 5; and Y is a nitrogen atom or CH.
