Analogous triazole compounds are also described in Japanese Patent No. 3050982, WO 95/25107, WO 00/27852, WO 01/66551, and WO 01/79196. Further, ester compounds interrupted by a methylenedioxy group for improving the water solubility of agents for the treatment of fungal infections are described in WO 00/30655, WO 99/61017 and WO 01/52852. The administration form of agents for treatment of fungal infections depends on the kind of the target fungus and the type of infection. As the administration form, there are, for example, oral administration and injection administration. As these administration methods have advantages and disadvantages, both methods of administration are required for a preferable agent for the treatment of fungal infection. Although the triazole agents for the treatment of fungal infection indicated above have excellent antifungal activity, they also have the disadvantage of difficulty in administration by injection because of their low solubility in water. In order to improve the low solubility in water, the conversion of the hydroxy group into an ester group for increasing the water solubility may be considered. However, as the hydroxy group which these therapeutic agents have in common is a tertiary hydroxy group, there is the disadvantage that the said ester group is not cleaved promptly in vivo after administration owing to its low reactivity, and consequently that the active substance is not released efficiently. Ester compounds interrupted by a methylenedioxy group generate formaldehyde upon cleavage of the ester. The problem to be resolved by the present invention is to afford triazole compounds esterified on the tertiary hydroxy group which have high solubility in water, can be cleaved in vivo promptly, and are safe compounds because no formaldehyde is generated upon cleavage. Triazole compounds having an ester group on the tertiary hydroxy group renting to the present invention have not been known so far. [Disclosure of the invention] The present inventors have designed the ester group at the tertiary hydro'xy group relating to the present invention, conducted synthesis, and have found that the triazole compounds relating to the present invention are useful as medicaments (especially as antifungals) (and especially for injection), because these compounds can be produced at low cost and with ease, have superior chemical stability and high water solubility, undergo prompt cleavage of the ester group in vivo with high percentages of conversion to exhibit excellent antifungal activity, do not generate formaldehyde upon cleavage, have high organ selectivity, and exhibit favorable pharmacokinetics and a high degree of safety, thereby leading to completion of the present invention.

The compounds of the general formula (I) of the present invention can be prepared according to the folJowing methods described below. [Method A] Method A is a method to prepare compounds (Ta1' [compounds (la) are compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention wherein La is a single bond, a C(.-C_( ary] group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 same or different group(s) selected from the group consisting of Substituent group a, a heterocyclic group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 same or different group (s) selected from the group consisting of Substituent group a, or a C1-C cycloalkyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 same or different group(s) selected from the group consisting of Substituent group a, and R is a C1-C6 alkanoyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 same or different group(s) selected from the group consisting of Substituent group P, a group of formula -C(O)-NP'R' (wherein, R" and R' independently represent a hydrogen atom or a C1-C( alkyl group, or R' and R', together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a 4- to 7-membered heterocyclic group containing nitrogen atom(s)) or a -P(=O)(OH), group], and the reaction scheme is shown below. In the above reaction scheme, X is as defined above, - is as defined for the above L (provided that L' is not an oxygen atom), R" is as defined for the above R (provided that R is not a hydrogen atom), and Pg is a carboxyl protecting grout:. Here, the protecting group Pg is a protecting group or the ester type which is conventionally used in organic synthesis for the protection of carboxylic acids (examples of wh:ch are described in T.W.Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The reaction temperature is usually from -10°C to the boiling point of the solvent employed, preferably from 0°C to room temperature. The time required for the reaction varies mainly depending on the reaction temperature, and is usually from 0.5 hours to 24 hours, preferably from 1 hour to 5 hours. Alternatively, in the case of introducing a -P(=O) (OH).-group as the R* group, the esterication can also be carried out using a reactive phosphinyl derivative instead of the reactive phosphoryl derivative, then oxidation of the resulting trivalent phosphorous ester compound can be carried out by methods well known in the art. The reactive phosphinyl derivative represents a compound of formula Z3-P (OPg') (OPg') (wherein, Pg and Pg' are protecting groups as defined above, and Z! represents a leaving group as defined above) , and the reactive phosphinyl derivative can be prepared using an alcohol compound of formula H-O-Pg" or H-O-Pg' (when Pg1 and PgJ together form a C -C, alkylene group, the compound is a dihydric alcohol compound of formula H-O-(C.-C, alkylene group)-O-H) by methods well known to those skilled in the art. The oxidizing agent to be used in the oxidation reaction of the trivalent phosphorous ester compound to the compound (3) is not particularly limited provided that it :s one that is usually used in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, and, for example, can be a halogen such as iodine; oxygen molecule; a peroxide such as cumene hydroperperoxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide; a peroxy acid such as peracetic acid, trifluoroperoxyacetic acid and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid; a halogenic acid salt such as hypochlorous acid salt, chlorous acid salt, chloric acid salt and perchloric acid; and is preferably a peroxide (especially t-butyl hydroperoxide).

For example, it can be obtained by adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (3) can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like. (Step A-3) Step A-3 is a step to prepare compound (4) by deprotecting the protecting group of compound (3), and the reaction can be carried out by using methods well known in the art (examples of which are described in T.W.Greene et ai., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1991)) . For example, when Pg! in compound (3) is a methoxybenzyl or dimethoxybenzyl group, compound (4) can be prepared by treating the compound (3) with an acid in the presence or absence of a solvent. The solvent to be employed, for example, can be a hydrocarbon such as hexane, cyclohexanc, benzene and toluene; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichioromethane, ch.oroform and 1,2-dichloroethane; or an ether such as an.-sole; ar.d is preferably a hydrocarbon (especially toluene1) .

For example, when trifluoroacetic acid is used as the acid, the amount of acid is usually from an amount of 5 molar equivalents relative to the amount of compound (3) up to an amount used as a solvent, preferably from one-tenth up to half of the amount used as a solvent. The reaction temperature of the acid treatment varies mainly depending on the solvent used, and is usually from 0°C to room temperature. The time required for the reaction varies mainly depending on the kind of protecting group to be removed and the kind and amount of acid used, and when the protecting group is a methoxybenzyl group and the acid is trifluoroacetic acid and the amount of the acid is a quarter of the solvent used, the time is usually from 0.1 hours to 24 hours (preferably from 0.1 hours to 2 hours). After completion of the reaction, the compound (4) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods. For example, it can be obtained by adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (4} can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like.

There is no particular restriction on the nature of this protecting group, provided that when the protecting group Pg1 of compound (6) is removed in Step B-2, the protecting group Pg4 is not removed, and when the carboxy group of compound (7) is esterified in Step B-3, the protecting group Pg4 is not removed, but when the protecting group Pg4 of compound (8) is removed in Step B-4, the deprotection can be carried out with no adverse effect on the compound (8). The protecting group, for example, can be a C1-C6 alkanoyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 halogen atom(s) such as formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, fluoroacetyl, difluoroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, pivaloyl, hexanoyl group and the like; a (C6-C10r,. aryl) carbonyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 group (s) selected independently from C1-C6. alkyl groups, C1-C6, c'.lkoxy groups and halogen atoms, such as benzoyl, chlorobenzoyl, methoxybenzoyl, dimethoxybenzoyl, methylbenzoyl, naphthoyl group and the like; a silyl group which is substituted with 3 groups selected independently from C1-C6 alkyl groups and phenyl groups, such as trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl group and the like; a C2-C7 alkoxycarbonyl group or a C3-C7 alkenyloxycarbonyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 halogen atom(s) , such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl, butoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, pentoxycarbonyl, hexyloxycarbonyl and the like; or a (C7-C11 aralkyUoxycarbonyl group which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 group(s) selected independently from C1-C8 alkoxy groups and halogen atoms, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl, naphthylmethyloxycarbonyl group and the like; and is preferably a C3-C7 alkenyloxycarbonyl group (particularly an allyloxycarbonyl group) or a silyl group which is substituted with 3 groups selected independently from C1-C6 alkyl groups and phenyl groups (particularly a t-butyldiphenylsilyl group). The method is first to prepare compound (6) by protecting the hydroxy group of compound (2) which is a synthetic intermediate in Method A with Pg* (in Step B-l), then, to prepare compound (7) by removing the carboxyl protecting group Pg1 selectively from compound (6)(in Step B-2), then, to prepare compound (8) by esterifying the carboxylic acid compound (7) with the alcohol compound (5) (in Step B-3), and finally to prepare compound (Ib) by deprotecting the alcohol protecting group Pg4 (in Step B-4) . Each step is described in detail as follows. (Step B-l) Step B-l is a step to prepare compound (6) by protecting the alcoholic hydroxy group of compound (2) which is a synthetic intermediate in Method A. This step can be accomplished by protection reactions for an alcohol, and the reactions are well known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry (examples of which are described in T.W.Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1999)). For example, protected compound (6) is prepared by reacting compound (2) with a protecting agent in a solvent under basic conditions. The protecting agent is a compound represented by the formula Z5-Pg4 (wherein, Pg* is as defined above, and Z5 represents a halogen atom or a leaving group), and, for example, can be a halide such as chloride, bromide, iodide and the like; or a sulfonate such as methanesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, toluenesulfonate and the like; and is preferably a halide. The solvent to be used, for example, can be a hydrocarbon such as hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and the like; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane and the like; a ketone such as acetone, 2-butanone and the like; a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide and the like; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like; a nitrile such as acetonitrile and the like; or an ether such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the like; and is preferably an amide (particularly N,N-dimethylformamide), an ether (particularly tetrahydrofuran) or a halogenated hydrocarbon (particularly dichloromethane).

The time required for the reaction varies mainly depending on the kind of protecting group, and is usually from 0.5 hours to 24 hours (preferably from 0.5 hours to 6 hours). After completion of the reaction, the compound (6) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods. For example, it can be obtained by neutralizing the reaction mixture, adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (6) can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like. (Step B-2) Step B-2 is a step to prepare carboxylic acid compound (7) by removing the protecting group Pg" from the compound (6), and this Step can be carried out in a manner similar to the reactions described in Step A-3. Alternatively, compound (7) can be prepared directly by protecting the hydroxy group of.compound (1) with a protecting group Pq- without Step A-l, Step B-l and Step B-2. In this case, preferably compound (1) can be treated in a reaction similar to that described in Step B-l. Compound (7) can also be obtained according to Method G and Method H described hereinafter. (Step B-3) Step B-3 is a step to prepare compound (8) by esteri-ying carboxylic acid compound (7) with the alcohol compound (5), and the reaction can be carried out according to a procedure similar to that described in Step A-4 . (Step B-4) Step B-4 is a step to prepare compound (Ib) by removing the hydroxyl protecting group Pg4 of compound (8) . This step can be accomplished by deprotection reactions for an alcohol, according to reactions well known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry (examples of which are described in T.W.Greene et al.. Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition, John Wiley A Sons, Inc. (1999)). For example, when the protecting group Pg4 is an allyloxycarbonyl group, the reaction can be carried out by using a nucleophilic (reducing) reagent and a metal catalyst in an inert solvent. The inert solvent, for example, can be water; an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol and the like; a hydrocarbon such as hexane and toluene; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane; a nitrile such as acetonitrile; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide; or an ether such as tetrahydrofuran; and is preferably an ether (particularly tetrahydrofuran) or a halogenated hydrocarbon (particularly dichloromethane).

The amount of the nucleophilic (reducing) reagent to be used is usually an amount of 1 to 1000 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the compound (8), preferably an amount of 1 to 3 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the compound (8). The metal catalyst, for example, can be a palladium complex such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(O) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) and the like. The amount of the metal catalyst to be used is usually an amount of 0.0001 to 1 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the compound (8), preferably an amount of 0.001 to 0.05 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the compound (8). To the reaction mixture, phosphine compounds such as triphenylphosphine and the like may be added. The maximum amount of the phosphine compound to be used is usually an amount of 5 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the metal catalyst. The reaction temperature for the removal of the allyloxycarbonyl group is usually from -20°C to 60°C (preferably from 0°C to room temperature). The time required for the reaction varies mainly depending on the reaction temperature and the kind of deprotecting agent, and is usually from 1 minute to 6 hours (preferably from 10 minutes to 2 hours). Alternatively, for example, when the protecting group* Pg4 is a silyl group which is substituted with 3 groups selected independently from C1-C6 alkyl groups and phenyl groups, such as a t-butyldiphenylsilyl group, the deprotecting reaction can be carried out by reacting compound (8) with a fluoride salt in a solvent. The solvent to be used, for example, can be water; a hydrocarbon such as hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and the like; a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane and the like; an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, t-butyl alcohol and the like; a ketone such as acetone, 2-butanone and the like; an ester such as ethyl acetate and the like; a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide and the like; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like; a nitrile such as acetonitrile and the like; or an ether such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the like; and is preferably a hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon or an ether, more preferably an ether (particularly tetrahydrofuran). The fluoride salt, for example, can be an alkali metal fluoride such as potassium fluoride and the like; or an organic ammonium fluoride such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride and the like. The reaction may be carried out adjusting * he react.ion mixture to neutral by the addition of an acid .such as acetic acid and the like. The reaction temperature of desilylation is usually from 0°C to room temperature. The time required in the reaction for desilylation is usually from 1 hour to 4 hours. After completion of the removal reaction of the protecting group Pg4, the desired compound (Ib) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods. For example, it can be obtained by adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (6) can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like.

This step can be accomplished by deprotection reactions for an alcohol, according to reactions well known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry (examples of which are described in T.W.Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1999)). For example, when the protecting group Pg5 is a silyl group which is substituted with 3 groups selected independently from C1-C6 alkyl groups and phenyl groups such as a t-butyldimethylsilyl group, the reaction can be carried out by treating compound (17) with a fluoride salt in a solvent. The solvent to be employed, for example, can be water; a hydrocarbon such as hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and the like,- a halogenated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane and the like; an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, t-butyl alcohol and the like; a ketone such as acetone, 2-butanone and the like; an ester such as ethyl acetate and the like; a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide and the like; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like; a nitrile such as acetonitrile and the like; or an ether such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the like; and is preferably a hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon or an ether, more preferably an ether. The fluoride salt, for example, can be an alkali metal fluoride such as potassium fluoride and the like; or an organic ammonium fluoride such as tetrabutylammor.i-in fluoride and the like. The reaction may be carried out adjusting the reaction mixture to neutral by the addition of an acid such as acetic acid. The reaction temperature is usually from 0°C to room temperature. The time required for the reaction is usually from 1 hour to 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, the compound (18) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods. For example, it can be obtained by neutralizing the reaction mixture, adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (18) can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like. Alternatively, the compound (18) can be prepared by introducing a group R* directly onto one hydroxy group of compound (15) without Step G-l to Step G-3. In this case, the compound (15) can be treated preferably under similar reaction conditions to Step G-2. (Step G-4) Step G-4 is a step to prepare the intermediate compound (4) in Method A by oxidizing the alcohol compound (18). This step can be accomplished by treating compound (18) with an oxidizing agent in an inert solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it can dissolve the starting compound at least, to some extent and it has no adverse effect on the reaction. The solvent to be used, for example, can be water; a hydrocarbon such as hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene and the like; a haJogenat.od hydrocarbon such as dichJoromethane, dichloroethane and rhe like; an alcohol such as t-butyl alcohol and t.he like; a ketone such as acetone, 2-butanone and the like; an ester such as ethyl acetate and the like; a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide and the like; an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like; a nitrile such as acetonitrile and the like; or an ether such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane and the like; and is preferably water, a hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon, a ketone, an amide or an ether, more preferably a halogenated hydrocarbon (particularly dichloromethane), a ketone (particularly acetone) or an amide (particularly N,N-dimethylformamide) . The oxidizing agent to be used in the oxidation reaction is not particularly limited provided that it is one that is usually used for converting an alcohol compound to a carboxylic acid compound by oxidation in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, and, for example, can be a salt, an oxide or a complex of chromium such as chromium trioxide, potassium dichromate, pyridinium chlorochromate, Jones reagent, Collins reagent and the like; a salt, an oxide or a complex of ruthenium such as ruthenium tetraoxide, tetrapropylammonium perruthenate and the iike; a salt, an oxide or a complex of lead such as lead tetraacetate and the like; a salt, an oxide or a complex of manganese such as potassium permanganate, manganese dioxide and the like; a salt, an oxide or a complex of silver such as silver oxide and silver carbonate; a salt, an oxide or a complex of tungsten such as tungstic acid and the like; a salt, an oxide or a complex of molybdenum such as molybdic acid; a free radical such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinooxy radical and the like; a halogen such as chlorine, bromine, iodine and the like; a halogenic acid or salt thereof such as sodium hypochlorite, sodium chlorite, sodium perchlorate and the like; or an N-haloimide such as N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide and the like; and is preferably a salt, an oxide or a complex of chromium; a salt, an oxide or a complex of ruthenium; a salt., an oxide or a complex of manganese; a saix or a complex cf silver; or a halogenic acid or salt thereof; and is more preferably a salt, an oxide or a compLex of chromium. The amount of the oxidizing agent to be used is usually an amount of 2 to 10 molar equivalents relative to the amount of the alcohol compound (18), preferably an amount of 2 to 3 molar equivalents of the amount of the compound (18). The reaction temperature varies mainly depending on the oxidizing agent and the staxtiag Material used, and is usually from -78°C to the boiling point of the solvent employed, preferably from -2G°C to room temperature. The time required for the reaction varies mainly depending on the oxidizing agent, the starting material used, and the reaction temperature, and is usually from 0.1 hours to 24 hours, preferably froa 0.5 hours to 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the desired compound (4) can be isolated from the reaction mixture by conventional methods. For example, it can be obtained by adding an organic solvent which is not miscible with water to the reaction mixture or to the residue obtained after distilling off the solvent from the reaction mixture, washing the mixture with water, and then distilling off the solvent. If necessary, the obtained compound (4) can be further purified by conventional methods, for example, recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography or the like. In a similar manner, the synthetic intermediate compound (7) in Method B can be obtained. Compound (19) is prepared by protecting the mono-protected compound (16) with a protecting group Pg4 in a manner similar to the Step G-2 (in Step G'-l), then compound (20) is prepared by deprotecting the protecting group Pg in step.m-2),and finally compound (7) is prepared by oxidizing compound ,20)) . Alternatively, compound (20) can be prepared by protecting compound (15) with a protecting group Pg' directly without Step G-l, Step G'-l and Step G'-2. In this case, compound (20) can be prepared preferably by treating compound (15) under similar reaction conditions to Step G'-l. [Method H] This method is an alternative method to prepare the intermediate compound (4) in Method A, and the reaction scheme is shown below. In the above reaction scheme, I. and R" are as defined above. The method is first to prepare compound (22) by esterification or carbamoylation of the hydroxy group of aldehyde compound (21) (in Step H-l), then, to prepare compound (4) by oxidizing compound (22) . Each step is described in detail as follows. Step H-l is a step to prepare compound (22) by esterification or carbamoylation of the hydroxy group of aldehyde compound (21). The aldehyde compound (21) which is the starting material is commercially available, or can be prepared by procedures well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the corresponding lactone compound is subjected to reductive cleavage (examples of which are described ir. D. Johnston et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 40, 4913-4916, 01999);. This step can be carried out in a manner. similaR'. ar to the step described in Step A-2. Step H-2 is a step to prepare intermediate compound (4) in Method A by oxidizing the aldehyde compound (22). This step can be accomplished by oxidation reactions of aldehyde compounds, according to reactions well known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. For example, this step can be carried out in a manner similar to the step described in Step G-4. In a similar manner, the synthetic intermediate compound (7) in Method B can be obtained. Compound (23) is prepared by protecting the hydroxy group of compound (21) with a protecting group Pg4 in a manner similar to the Step B-l (in Step H'-l), then compound (7) is prepared by oxidizing the aldehyde group of compound (23) (in Step H'-2) . [Method I] Method I is a method to prepare the intermediate compound (11) in Method C, and the reaction scheme is shown below. In the above reaction scheme, R, L2 and Pgb are as defined above. The method is first to prepare mono-protected compound (25) by protecting one hydroxy group of dihydric alcohol compound (24) (in Step 1-1), then, to prepare compound (26) by introducing the R" group into compound (25,) in Step 1-2), and finally to prepare the desired compound (11) by deprotecting the protecting group from compound (26) (in Step 1-3). The method can be carried out in a manner similar to the method described in Method G (Step G-l to Step G-3) Alternatively, the desired compound (11) can be prepared by introducing the R group directly into compound (24) without protection. In a similar manner, the intermediate compound (12) in Method D can be obtained. Compound (27) is prepared by protecting the hydroxy group of compound (25) with a protecting group Pg4 (in Step I'-l) , then compound (12) is prepared by removing the protecting group Pg5 from compound (27) (in Step I'-2) . The reactions can be carried out in a manner similar to the reactions described in Step G'-l to Step G'-2. Where the compounds (la), (Ib), (Ic), (Id) or (If) of the present invention prepared by Method A, Method B, Method C, Method D or Method E include protecting groups in group L or group R, the final desired compounds can be obtained by removing these protecting groups using procedures well known to those skilled in the art. Namely, a compound including a hydroxy group, a group of formula -NH-, carboxy group, a -P(=O) (OH) 2 group or a -SO3H group can be prepared by using a starting compound wherein said groups are protected, and finally by removing these protecting groups. The reactions for removing the protecting groups can be accomplished by reactions well known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry (examples of which are described in T.W.Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1999)) and similar reactions. For example, in the case where a carboxy group or a -P(=0)(0H)2 group is included in group L or group R, an allyl group can be used as the protecting group, and said protecting group can be removed in a similar manner to the procedures for removing Pg and Pg3 described in Method A and removing Pg4 in Method B.

The present invention relates to triazole compounds and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof, which have excellent characteristics in terms of pharmacokinetics and antifungal activity) as medicaments (especially for injection)i and to medicaments (especially intifungals) containing said compounds or salts thereof as an active ingredient.
[Background Art 3
Various types of triazole compounds have so far been reported as agents for the treatment of fungal infections. For example, triazole compounds having a tertiary hydroxy group are described in Japanese Patent Application Publication IMo.Hei 3-333350, Japanese Patent Application Publication No.Hei 11-80135, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. He 1-10-279567, and Japanese Patent Application Publication No.2001-342187.

Analogous triazole compounds are also described in Japanese Patent No. 3050982, WO 95/25107, WO 00/27852, WO 01/66551, and WO 01/79196.
Further, ester compounds interrupted by a methylenedioxy group for improving the water solubility of agents for the treatment of fungal infections are described in WO 00/30655, WO 99/61017 and WO 01/52852.
The administration form of agents for treatment of fungal infections depends on the kind of the target fungus and the type of infection. As the administration form, there are, for example, oral administration and injection administration. As these administration methods have advantages and disadvantages, both methods of administration are required for a preferable agent for the treatment of fungal infection. Although the triazole agents for the treatment of fungal infection indicated above have excellent antifungal activity, they also have the disadvantage of difficulty in administration by injection because of their low solubility in water.
In order to improve the low solubility in water, the conversion of the hydroxy group into an ester group for increasing the water solubility may be considered. However, as the hydroxy group which these therapeutic agents have in common is a tertiary hydroxy group, there is the disadvantage that the said ester group is not cleaved promptly in vivo after administration owing to its low reactivity, and consequently that the active substance is not released efficiently. Ester compounds interrupted by a methylenedioxy group generate formaldehyde upon cleavage of the ester.
The problem to be resolved by the present invention is to afford triazole compounds esterified on the tertiary hydroxy group which have high solubility in water, can be cleaved in vivo promptly, and are safe compounds because no formaldehyde is generated upon cleavage. Triazole compounds having an ester
group on the tertiary hydroxy group renting to the present invention have not been known so far.
[Disclosure of the invention]
The present inventors have designed the ester group at the tertiary hydro'xy group relating to the present invention, conducted synthesis, and have found that the triazole compounds relating to the present invention are useful as medicaments (especially as antifungals) (and especially for injection), because these compounds can be produced at low cost and with ease, have superior chemical stability and high water solubility, undergo prompt cleavage of the ester group in vivo with high percentages of conversion to exhibit excellent antifungal activity, do not generate formaldehyde upon cleavage, have high organ selectivity, and exhibit favorable pharmacokinetics and a high degree of safety, thereby leading to completion of the present invention.

Serial two-fold dilution of the test compound was performed with DMSO, and then the final dilution was performed with RPMI1640 medium (product of Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) which was buffered to pH 7.0 with 0.165M 3-(morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS). The final concentration of DMSO did not exceed 1%. Colonies of the test fungi were suspended in physiological
saline followed by adjustment tc 5.6 x 12 to 2.t x 10 ceils/ml with RPMII64 0 medium wh:cn was bufferec to pK "7.0 with 0.165M MOPS. 100 µl of the fungal suspension and 100 fil of each diluted test compound solution were mixed in each well of microtitre plates, before incubating at 35°C for 24-72 hours. When obvious growth was observed in the compound-free control wells, the MICs were determined for the test compound. The MICs were defined as the lowest compound concentrations causing at least 80% growth inhibition when compared with the control.
Determination of antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans: MICs were determined by the broth microdilution method. Test compound was dissolved in DMSO. Serial two-fold dilution of the test compound was performed with DMSO, and the final dilution was performed with yeast nitrogen base medium (product of Difco Laboratories) buffered to pH 7.C with 0.165M MOPS. The final concentration of DMSO did not exceed 1%. Colonies of the test fungi were suspended in physiological saline followed by adjustment to 5.0 x 10' to 2.5 x 10"' cells/ml with yeast nitrogen base medium buffered to pH 7.0 with 0.165M MOPS. 100 µl of the fungal suspension and 100 µl of each diluted test compound solution were mixed in each well of microtitre plates, before incubating at 35°C for 48-72 hours. When obvious growth was observed in the compound-free control wells, the MICs were determined for the test compojnd. The MICs were defined as the lowest compound concentrations causing at least 50% growth inhibition when compared with the control as measured by light absorbance at 485 nm.
Determination of antifungal activity against Aspergillus: MICs were determined by the broth microdilution method. Test compound was dissolved in DMSO. Serial two-fold dilution of the test compound was performed with DMSO, and then the final dilution was performed with RPMI1640 medium (product of Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) which was buffered to pH
"withaism xops. The final concentrament DMSC did not exceed in calories of the test lung were suspended in physiological saline followed by adjustmenr to about 1.0 x 10' cells/ml with RPKI1640 medium which was buffered to pH 7.0 with 0.165M MOPS. 100 µl of the tungal suspension and 100 µl of each diluted test compound solution were mixed in each well of microtitre plates, before incubating at 30°C for 24-72 hours. When obvious growth was observed in the compound-free control wells, the MICs were determined for the test compound. The MICs were defined as the lowest compound concentrations causing at least 80% growth inhibition when compared with the control.
The antifungal activities of the compounds are more potent the lower the MIC values.
The results of the antifungal activity tests of compound A are shown in Table a.
As shown in the above Table, compound A exhibited excellent antifungal activity.
