Evolved formulations of echinocandins, polyenes, and triazoles offer less toxicity, convenient dosing, and greater potency, potentially expanding these classes' indications. Ibrexafungerp, olorofim, oteseconazole, and fosmanogepix possess novel mechanisms of actions with potent activity against MDR fungi. Successful clinical development is neither easy nor guaranteed; thus, perpetual efforts to discover new antifungals are needed.
