Overview:

Mycelex
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Clotrimazole, an imidazole antifungal agent, is used for the treatment of infections caused by various species of pathogenic dermatophytes, yeasts, and Malassezia furfur. These include ringworm, candidiasis, and tinea infections. Betamethasone and clotrimazole are used together to treat cutaneous tinea infections. For the local treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis and vaginal yeast infections, also used in fungal infections of the skin.

Mechanism Of Action:
Clotrimazole interacts with 14-α demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the yeast membrane. In this way, clotrimazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, resulting in increased cellular permeability. Clotrimazole may also inhibit endogenous respiration, interact with membrane phospholipids, inhibit the transformation of yeasts to mycelial forms and the uptake of purine, impair triglyceride and/or phospholipid biosynthesis, and inhibit the movement of calcium and potassium ions across the cell membrane by blocking the ion transport pathway known as the Gardos channel.
