An increase in the opportunistic fungal infections necessitates a design of new more effective and safer antifungal agents. Triazole alcohols are effective antifungals, but have a risk of teratogenicity associated with them. Therefore, successful design of drugs from this class depends on understand

β¦ Synopsis
The CASE (Computer Automated Structure Evaluation) program, with the aid of a geometry index for discriminating cis and trans isomers, has been used to study a set of retinoids tested for teratogenicity in hamsters. CASE identified 8 fragments, the most important representing the non-polar terminus of a retinoid with an additional ring system which introduces some rigidity in the isoprenoid side chain. The geometry index helped to identify relevant fragments with an all-trans configuration and to distinguish them from irrelevant fragments with other configurations.
