Product Information

• Name: (S)-Luliconazole
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S)-Luliconazole is an antifungal agent that is synthesized from an imidazole compound. This compound is biphenyl in structure and is often derived through chiral synthesis techniques to isolate the (S)-enantiomer, which is the active form that enhances pharmacological effects. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, an essential component in fungal cell membrane synthesis. This inhibition disrupts the production of ergosterol, a critical sterol in fungal membranes, ultimately leading to increased membrane permeability and cell death.
