Also several compounds containing 1,2,4-triazole rings are well known as drugs; for example, fluconazole is used as an antimicrobial drug, while vorozole, letrozole, and anastrozole are nonsteroidal drugs used for the treatment of cancer.

Thus, several potent drugs possessing triazole nucleus have been applied in medicine, like, Alprazolam (anxiolytic agent and tranquilizer), Anastrozole, Letrozole, Vorozole (antineoplastics and nonsteroidal competitive aromatase inhibitors), Estazolam (hypnotic, sedative and tranquilizer), Etoperidone (antidepressant), Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Terconazole (antifungal agents), Ribavirin (antiviral agent), Benatradin (diuretic), Rilmazafon (hypnotic, anxiolytic and used in the case of neurotic insomnia), Nefazodone (antidepressant and 5-HT2 A-antagonist), Rizatriptan (antimigraine agent), Trapidil (hypotensive), Trazodone (antidepressant, anxiolytic and selectively inhibits central serotonin uptake) and Triazolam (sedative and hypnotic) [18].

This local production can substantially support the growth of estrogen-responsive tumors, and treatment with azole compounds (letrozole, anastrozole, vorozole, or fadrozole) suppresses estrogen production dramatically in these patients.

Azole fungicides affect mammalian steroidogenesis by inhibiting sterol 14[alpha]-demethylase and aromatase. (Research)
More specific targeting of estrogen synthesis was necessary, leading to the creation of the selective aromatase inhibitors anastrozole (Arimidex[R]), letrozole (Femara[R]), and vorozole (Rizivor[R]).

In addition to these, there are a number of 1,2,4-triazole-containing drugs on the market like letrozole, vorozole and anastrozole (antitumor) [20], ribavirin, viramidine (antiviral) [21], rizatriptan (antimigrane) [22], fluconazole, itraconazole, terconazole (antifungal) [23], loreclezole (sedative and anticonvulsant) [24], hexaconazole, myclobutanil, triadimefon and tebuconazole (fungicide) [25].
