Fosravuconazole (trade name Nailin) is a triazole antifungal agent.[1][2] In Japan, it is approved for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail.[3] It is a prodrug that is converted into ravuconazole.[1]

The Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative and the Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai are studying fosravuconazole as a potential treatment for eumycetoma.[1][4][5]
