Abstract: 1,2,3-Triazole, a five-membered heterocyclic nucleus, is widely recognized as a key chromophore
of great value in medicinal chemistry for delivering compounds possessing innumerable
biological activities, including antimicrobial, antitubercular, antidiabetic, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidants,
and anti-inflammatory activities. Mainly, in the past years, diverse conjugates carrying this
biologically valuable core have been reported due to their attractive fungicidal potential and potent
effects on various infective targets. Hence, hybridization of 1,2,3-triazole with other antimicrobial
pharmacophores appears to be a judicious strategy to develop new effective anti-fungal candidates to
combat the emergence of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant infectious diseases. Thus, the current review
highlights the recent advances of this promising category of 1,2,3-triazole-containing hybrids
incorporating diverse varieties of bioactive heterocycles such as conozole, coumarin, imidazole, benzimidazole,
pyrazole, indole, oxindole, chromene, pyrane, quinazoline, chalcone, isoflavone, carbohydrates,
and amides. It underlies their inhibition behavior against a wide array of infectious fungal
species during 2015-2020.
