Biochem/physiol Actions

Itraconazole inhibits cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes which results in the inhibition of ergosterol synthesis. It does so by interacting with 14-α demethylase, which is a cytochrome P-450 enzyme necessary to convert lanosterol to ergosterol. Ergosterol is a crucial compenent of fungal cell membranes. Therefore, it′s inhibition results in increased cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents. Itraconazole may also inhibit endogenous respiration, interact with membrane phospholipids, inhibit the transformation of yeasts to mycelial forms, inhibit purine uptake, and impair triglyceride and phospholipid biosynthesis.

Synthetic broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent. Mode of action: Inhibits cytochrome P450 dependent enzymes including 14α-demethylase. The inhibition results in prevention of the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a critical fungal cell wall component.
