Therefore, the water soluble azole antifungal agents, represented by the formula (I) as well as salts, hydrates or solvates thereof, according to the present invention, exhibit potent antifungal activity against various fungal infections including Aspergillosis in mice over a very wide range of dosages both orally and parenterally and are useful as antifungal agents.
The present invention further relates to the pharmaceutical compositions containing the azole compound of the formula (I) as well as salts, hydrates or solvates thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The azole compounds of the formula (I) as well as salts, hydrates or solvates thereof are active against a variety of fungal species including Candida spp., Cryptotoccus neoformans, Aspergillus spp., Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., Exophiala spp., Blastomyces dermatitidis, and Histoplasma capsulatum. 
Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful for topical and systemic treatment of mycoses in animals as well as in humans. For example, they are useful in treating topical and mucosal fungal infections caused by, among other genera, Candida, Trichophyton, or Microsporum. They may also be used in the treatment of systemic fungal infections caused by, for example, Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus spp., Paracoccidiodes spp., Sporotrix spp., Exophiala spp., Blastomyces spp., or Histoplasma spp.
For clinical use, the azole compounds of the formula (I) as well as salts, hydrates or solvates thereof can be administered alone, but will generally be administered in pharmaceutical admixture formulated as appropriate to the particular use and purpose desired, by mixing excipient, binding agent, lubricant, disintegrating agent, coating material, emulsifier, suspending agent, solvent, stabilizer, absorption enhancer and/or ointment base. The admixture can be used for oral, injectable, rectal or topical administration.
Pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration may be granule, tablet, sugar coated tablet, capsule, pill, suspension or emulsion. For parenteral injection, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously, the azole compounds of formula (I) may be used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example, salts or glucose to make the solution isotonic. The azole compounds can also be administered in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment or dusting powder.
The daily dosage level of the azole compounds of the formula (I) is from about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg (in divided doses) when administered in one, two or more dosages by either the oral or parenteral route. Thus tablets or capsules of the compounds may contain from about 5 mg to about 0.5 g of active compound for administration. In any event the actual dosage can be determined by the physician and it may be varied upon the age, weight and response of the particular patient.
In addition, the azole compounds of the formula (I) as well as salts, hydrates or solvates thereof have activity against a variety of plant pathogenic fungi, including for example Pyricularia oryzae, Pythium aphanidermatum, Alternaria spp., and Paecilomyces variotii. 
Thus, they can be applied for agricultural and horticultural purposes preferably in the form of a composition formulated as appropriate to the particular use and purpose desired, for example dusting powders, or granules, seed dressings, aqueous solutions, dispersions or emulsions, dips, sprays or aerosols. Such compositions may contain such conventional carriers, diluents or adjuvants as are known and acceptable in agriculture and horticulture. Other compounds having herbicidal or insecticidal, or additional antifungals can be incorporated in the compositions. The compounds and compositions can be applied in a number of ways, for example they can be applied directly to the plant foliage, stems, branches, seeds or roots or to the soil or other growing medium, and they may be used not only to eradicate the disease, but also prophylactically to protect the plants or seeds from attack.
The following examples illustrate the preferred methods for the preparation of the compounds of the present invention, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention thereto.
