Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Fluconazole is a new bis-triazole antifungal agent. Fluconazole is used in the treatment of both C. albicans and dermatophyte fungal infections. In vitro, fluconazole inhibits α-OH-triazolam formation and 4-OH-triazolam formation with IC50 of 4.35 and 4.85 µM, respectively.[1] The activity of fluconazole given orally to mice or rats infected systemically with C. albicans is far superior to that of ketoconazole. Fluconazole is also effective orally in curing experimental candidal vaginitis in mice and trichophytosis in guinea pigs, against which it is approximately 10 times more active than ketoconazole. [2] In a 10-day dosage regimen, fluconazole is far more active than ketoconazole against systemic infections with C. albicans in normal and immunosuppressed mice. In normal mice, extension of fluconazole dosing to 30 days results in prolongation of survival to over 90 days, and up to 60% of treated animals had no detectable C. albicans in their kidneys. [3]

Protocols

Fluconazole is formulated as suspension in 10% Cremophor EL in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. [2]
