Fungal

Fungal

A drug known as an antifungal agent selectively removes fungal pathogens from a host with little harm to the host. Classes: 1. Polyene antifungal medications: Amphotericin, nystatin, and pimaricin interact with the cell membrane's sterols (ergosterol in fungi, cholesterol in people) to create channels that allow small molecules to escape the inside of the fungal cell and enter the surrounding environment. 2. Azole antifungal medications: Fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent enzymes, particularly C14-demethylase, which are involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a substance necessary for the structure and operation of fungal cell membranes. 3. Morpholine and allylamine antifungal medications: Squalene epoxidase is the enzyme that lylamines (naftifine, terbinafine) inhibit.At a later stage, the morpholine drug amorolfine inhibits the same pathway. 4. Antifungal Antimetabolite Drugs: Because 5-fluorocytosine is converted to 5-fluorouracil intracytoplasmically, it inhibits the synthesis of both DNA and RNA.
