| Preferred Name | fluconazole | |
| Synonyms |
alpha-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-alpha- (1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,2, 4- triazole-1-ethanol FCZ Diflucan |
|
| Definitions |
A synthetic triazole with antifungal activity. Fluconazole preferentially inhibits fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 alpha-demethylation, resulting in the accumulation of fungal 14 alpha-methyl sterols, the loss of normal fungal sterols, and fungistatic activity. Mammalian cell demethylation is much less sensitive to fluconazole inhibition. Check for "https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C500" active clinical trials using this agent.
