C6019 is supplied in powder form. It is soluble in Chloroform at 50.0 - 52.0 mg/ml. But the information on the absorption molecular coefficient of clotrimazole is currently unavailable. However, I conducted an extensive literature search and found some relevant information. Clotrimazole showed absorption maxima (λ max) at 263 nm, and linearity was obtained by concentration versus absorbance for clotrimazole with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.999.

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][9] 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.
