An azole derivative represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X is a nitrogen atom or CH, Y is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, an imino group, a methylimino group or a group represented by .dbd.N.about.O--, Z is one or two halogen atoms, n stands for a number of 1 or 2, the wavy line means that stereochemistry of the double bond is either E or Z; or an acid adduct thereof. They exhibit strong antifungal activities and are very useful in the therapy for fungus diseases. Also disclosed is an antifungal drug containing said compound as an active ingredient.

Azole derivatives and antifungal drugs containing the same as an active

A 21-substituted steroid compound is disclosed. The compound has a structure of formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkoxy, or phenyl group, R.sup.2 is a hydroxyl group or an acyloxy group having 1-6 carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may together form a lower alkylidenedioxy group, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 may be the same or different and individually represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, Y.sup.1 and Y.sup.2 may be the same or different and individually represents a methylene group or a sulfur atom, Z is a sulfur atom or an imino group, the wave line means that the configuration of R.sup.3 may be of either .alpha. or .beta., and dotted line between the 1 and 2 position means that the bond may be the double bond. It has excellent anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-asthma activities with little side effects, and is useful for the prevention, cure, and treatment of on inflammation, allergic diseases, rheumatism, and the like.
