Descripción

General description

Chemical structure: imidazole

Application

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[1]
• to study the development of resistance in Candida species isolated from patients undergoing prolonged antifungal treatment[2]
• to induce stress granules via mitochondrial stress[3][4]
• for the inhibition of in vitro formation of high density sickle cells induced by treatment with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB)[5]
• to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzyme in cell cultures[6]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clotrimazole is a specific inhibitor of Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels.[7] It is an antifungal azole. Clotrimazole is a derivative of imidazole and has similar antimicrobial action and activity to ketoconazole.[8] 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.
