Many substances with antifungal activity have proven to be unstable, to be toxic to humans, or to have undesirable pharmacologic characteristics, such as poor diffusion into tissues. Newer antifungal agents target fungal-specific cellular features and demonstrate lower toxicity than older drug classes.
