Antifungal drug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An antifungal drug is medication used to treat fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm and candidiasis (thrush), as well as serious systemic infections like cryptococcal meningitis.

Antifungal Pharmacology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) Polyene antifungals such as amphotericin B act by binding to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane. Azole antifungals inhibit the fungal cytochrome P-450 3-A dependent enzyme 14-alpha demethylase, thereby interrupting the synthesis of ergosterol. Inhibition of this critical enzyme in the ergosterol synthesis pathway leads to the depletion of ergosterol in the cell membrane and accumulation of toxic intermediate sterols, causing increased membrane permeability and inhibition of fungal growth. www.doctorfungus.org /thedrugs/antif_pharm.htm   (989 words)
