Sulconazole nitrate

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Sulconazole nitrate - the nitrate salt form of sulconazole, a synthetic imidazole derivative with antifungal property. Sulconazole nitrate inhibits fungal cytochrome p 450 sterol c 14 alpha demethylation, resulting in the accumulation of fungal 14 alpha methyl sterols and inhibition of the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of the fungal cell membrane. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis leads to a disruption of cell membrane permeability, and ultimately inhibition of cell wall synthesis. In addition, sulconazole nitrate seems to interfere with the autolytic degradation of fungal dna and rna.
