Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Chemical structure: imidazole

Applicazioni

Clotrimazole has been used:

• to study the upregulation of the gene ERG11 that codes for an azole target enzyme lanosterol demethylase, in Candida species, upon treatment with azole antibiotics
• to study the development of resistance in Candida species isolated from patients undergoing prolonged antifungal treatment
• to induce stress granules via mitochondrial stress
• for the inhibition of in vitro formation of high density sickle cells induced by treatment with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB)
• to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzyme in cell cultures

Azioni biochim/fisiol

Clotrimazole is a specific inhibitor of Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels. It is an antifungal azole. Clotrimazole is a derivative of imidazole and has similar antimicrobial action and activity to ketoconazole. It inhibits cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylase, which is critical to ergosterol biosynthesis. The accumulated 14α-methylated sterols change the membrane structure of sensitive fungi, altering cell membrane permeability.
