Molecule Details
Application Sulconazole nitrate is an antifungal medication of the imidazole class. It is used clinically to treat skin infections, such as ringworm, athlete′s foot, jock itch, and sun fungus1. It is used to block ergosterol biosynthesis and to inhibit heme oxygenases2. Biochem/physiol Actions Sulconazole blocks biosynthesis of ergosterol by inhibiting fungal cytochrome P450-dependent lanosterol 14-α-demethylase, a mechanism similar among azoles. Sulconazole is a heme oxygenase (HO) inhibitor. It has been shown to inhibit both HO-1 and HO-2 in vitro2.
