| pubmed-article:7983578 | pubmed:abstractText | The new triazole, D0870, was tested for therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of experimental systemic murine coccidioidomycosis. D0870 at 1 or 10 mg kg-1 daily, or 10 or 100 mg kg-1 every other day, and fluconazole at 100 mg kg-1 daily prolonged survival (P < 0.01), but were equivalent to each other. D0870 at 10 mg kg-1 daily or 100 mg kg-1 every other day cured 20 or 30% of mice of residual infection, respectively, and were superior to 100 mg kg-1 of fluconazole daily (P < 0.001). D0870 is approximately 10-fold more active than fluconazole. It is a promising treatment for coccidioidomycosis, which warrants further testing. | lld:pubmed |
