ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Fungal lesions are accompanied by inflammation, during which large amounts of free radicals are formed. Antifungal drugs, which have an additional antioxidant effect, could contribute to a faster recovery. An important role in ensuring effective and safe pharmacotherapy of fungal lesions is played by proper drug storage and appropriate patient actions during treatment. Ultraviolet radiation can generate free radicals in a drug due to photolysis. A drug containing free radicals may cause toxic effects in the body. The aim of the study was to research the antioxidant properties of selected antifungal drugs of azole derivatives. Addi-tionally, the impact of UVC radiation on the tested drugs and their interaction with the DPPH free radical was studied.

Material and methods:
The tested azole samples were exposed to 24-hour UVC radiation. The interaction of drug samples with a model DPPH free radical, before and after exposure to UV radiation, was studied. UV-Vis spectroscopy and colourimetry in the CIE Lab colour analysis system were used as the research techniques.

Results:
Among the initial samples of the tested drugs only ketoconazole interacted with the DPPH free radical, causing its extinction. Exposure to UVC radiation increased the antioxidant properties in ketoconazole and miconazole. The CIE Lab parameters, UV spectra and interaction kinetics of those two drugs with DPPH were different after UVC exposure, which may indicate changes in ketoconazole and miconazole. The highest stability to ultraviolet radiation was shown by fluconazole, whose CIE Lab parameters, UV spectra and interaction with DPPH did not change after exposure of the sample to light radiation.

Conclusions:
The research using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and colourimetry enabled the impact of UVC radiation on selected antifungal drugs to be evaluated, including evaluation of their interaction with the model DPPH free radical. It is recommended to protect ketoconazole and miconazole from exposure to light. It is also advisable to protect patients from the sun during pharmacotherapy with these drugs.
