(±)-Voriconazole

Description:
(±)-Voriconazole is a triazole antifungal agent primarily used in the treatment of invasive fungal infections, particularly those caused by Aspergillus species and Candida. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, which is crucial for ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting their integrity and function. This compound is characterized by its chiral nature, existing as a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. Voriconazole is typically administered orally or intravenously and exhibits a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. Its solubility in organic solvents and moderate lipophilicity facilitate its absorption and distribution in the body. The drug is metabolized primarily in the liver, with a significant role played by cytochrome P450 enzymes, leading to various metabolites. Voriconazole is also known for its potential side effects, including visual disturbances and hepatotoxicity, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. Overall, its efficacy against resistant fungal strains makes it a critical option in antifungal therapy.
