The present invention provides an
antifungal agent that has excellent
antifungal action, and is also excellent in terms of its properties, safety, and
metabolic stability. The present invention discloses a compound represented by the following formula I or a salt thereof, and an
antifungal agent comprising the compound or the salt:wherein R1 represents a
hydrogen atom, a
halogen atom, an amino group, a C1-6
alkyl group, a C1-6
alkoxy group, or a C1-6-alkoxy-C1-6-
alkyl group; R2 represents a
hydrogen atom or an amino group; X, Y, Z, and W independently represent a
nitrogen atom, an
oxygen atom, a
sulfur atom, or —CH—, provided that at least two among X, Y, and W are
nitrogen atoms; the ring A represents a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl ring or a
benzene ring; Q represents a
methylene group, an
oxygen atom, —CH2O—, —OCH2—, —NH—, —NHCH2—, or —CH2NH—; and R3 represents a C1-6
alkyl group, a C3-8 cycloalkyl group, a C6-10
aryl group, or a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group, each of which may have one or two substituents.
