A series of novel enantiomerically pure azole derivatives was synthesized. The new compounds, bearing both an imidazole as well as a triazole moiety, were evaluated as antimycobacterial agents. One of them proved to have activity against Mycobaterium tuberculosis comparable to those of the classical antibacterial/antifungal drugs Econazole and Clotrimazole.
