Description

1-Phenylsemicarbazide is a triazole antifungal that inhibits the enzyme cytochrome P450, which is required for the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Treatment with 1-phenylsemicarbazide has been shown to increase blood pressure and inhibit the activity of other enzymes in rats. The drug also binds metal ions such as zinc and copper, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory properties. 1-Phenylsemicarbazide binds to receptors in the kidney that are involved in the regulation of salt and water balance, leading to a decrease in urine production. This compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of yeast cells from "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" and "Candida albicans" at concentrations up to 20 mM.
