Fluconazol №2 Pharmacotherapeutic group
Antifungal agents for systemic use. Triazole derivatives. ATX code J02A C01.

Pharmacodynamics
Mechanism of action. Fluconazole is an antifungal agent of the triazole class. The primary mechanism of its action is the suppression of fungal 14-alpha-lanosterol demethylation, mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP), which is an integral step in the biosynthesis of fungal ergosterol. The accumulation of 14-alpha-methyl-sterols correlates with the subsequent loss of ergosterol by the membrane of the fungal cell and may be responsible for the antifungal activity of fluconazole. Fluconazole is more selective for fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes than for various mammalian cytochrome P450 enzyme systems.
