Hexaconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole fungicide that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis via inhibition of the cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylation of lanosterol which results in disruption of the fungal cell membrane and cell death.

Pentamidine is an antifungal and antiprotozoal agent, interacting directly with the pathogen genome by binding to AT-rich regions of duplex DNA and the minor groove of DNA, thereby interfering with DNA replication.Pentamidine is effective in therapy for the hemolymphatic stage of Gambian trypanosomiasis, antimony-resistant leishmaniasis, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.

Methyl 2-ethylhexanoate (2-Ethylhexanoic Acid Methyl Ester) is a volatile substance with antifungal activity that can be used to study anthrax.
