On the basis of the active site of lanosterol 14α-demethylase from Candida albicans (CACYP51), a series of 1-(2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one derivatives were synthesized as fluconazole analogs. Results of the preliminary antifungal tests against eight human pathogenic fungi in vitro showed that these compounds exhibited activities to some extent, and some displayed excellent antifungal activities against C. albicans than reference drug fluconazole. Flexible molecular docking was used to analyze the structure–activity relationships (SARs) of the target compounds. The designed compounds interact with CACYP51 through hydrophobic, van der Waals and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
