chemistrymedical
Any of a class of five-membered ring compounds containing at least one nitrogen atom, including many compounds used as antifungal medicines.
An azole is a chemical term for a family of small ring compounds whose five-membered structure includes one or more nitrogen atoms. Chemists distinguish different azoles by how many nitrogen atoms sit in the ring and where they are placed. The term is familiar beyond the laboratory because many antifungal medicines, grouped together as azole drugs, take their name from this shared ring structure.
