General description

Fluconazole is used to treat adult neutropenic patients with invasive candidiasis (IC).

Application

Fluconazole has been used to assess minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)-fungal assay. It has also been used as a positive control in antifungal assay of plants.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluconazole is an antifungal agent. It is highly selective inhibitor of fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 α-demethyllation. Fluconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9. Fluconazole interferes with fungal ergosterol synthesis and downregulates the metallothionein gene.
