Description

Sulconazole Nitrate is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes. Sulconazole Nitrate has been shown to possess in vitro antifungal activity against dimorphic fungi such as Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. It also has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microbes through inhibition of fatty acid synthesis. This drug may be used as an adjuvant therapy for autoimmune diseases or infections caused by resistant strains of bacteria. Sulconazole Nitrate binds to fatty acids in the plasma membrane and prevents their incorporation into the phospholipid bilayer. The disruption of this process results in decreased cell membrane fluidity, which leads to a loss of structural integrity and cell permeability.
