Title: Tetrahydrofuran antifungals
Abstract:A compound represented by the formula I ##STR1## wherein X is independently both F or both Cl or one X is independently F and the other is independently Cl; R.sub.1 is a straight or branched chain (C.sub.3 to C.sub.8) alkyl group substituted by one or two groups convertible in vivo into hydroxy moieties, (e.g., a polyether ester, amino acid ester or phosphate ester) thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and pharmaceutical compositions thereof useful for treating and/or preventing fungal infections are disclosed.

wherein R.sub.6 is a group convertible in vivo into OH or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

5. A pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing fungal infection comprising an antifungally effective amount of a compound of claim 1 together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.

6. A method of treating and/or preventing fungal infections in a mammal afflicted with same which comprises administering an antifungally effective amount of a compound of claim 1 sufficient for such treating or preventing.

7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 wherein the mode of administration is oral or parenteral.

8.
