Indication For the treatment of fungal infections.
Pharmacology Fluconazole, a synthetic antifungal agent of the imidazole class, is used to treat vaginal candidiasis.
Mechanism of Action Fluconazole interacts with 14-α demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme necessary to convert lanosterol to ergosterol. As ergosterol is an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, inhibition of its synthesis results in increased cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents. Fluconazole may also inhibit endogenous respiration, interact with membrane phospholipids, inhibit the transformation of yeasts to mycelial forms, inhibit purine uptake, and impair triglyceride and/or phospholipid biosynthesis.
Absorption 90%
Toxicity Symptoms of overdose include hallucinations and paranoid behavior.
Protein Binding 11 to 12%
Biotransformation Hepatic
Half Life 30 hours (range 20-50 hours)
