Ravuconazole (BMS-207147 and ER-30346) is a potent triazole antifungal, being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb, that is currently in phase I/II clinical trials.^[1] The drug has shown to have a similar spectrum of activity to voriconazole, with an increased half-life.^[2] However, ravuconazole has limited activity against species of Fusarium, Scedosporium, and Zygomycetes.^[3][4]
