Application


  • Enhanced antifungal activity of fluconazole: A study optimized fluconazole-embedded transfersomal gel, demonstrating improved antifungal activity and compatibility. This research is crucial for enhancing fluconazole′s efficacy against resistant fungal strains, making it a pivotal tool in the fight against fungal infections (Cheng et al., 2024).

  • Antifungal mechanisms against drug-resistant strains: Research on the antifungal activity of a trypsin inhibitor from chia seeds against fluconazole-resistant Candida species assessed its potential as a novel therapeutic approach. This study contributes valuable insights into natural compounds enhancing fluconazole′s effectiveness, crucial for developing alternative antifungal therapies (Nogueira et al., 2024).

  • Advancements in fungal pathogenesis: The isolation and identification of Wickerhamiella tropicalis from blood culture using MALDI-MS highlight innovative diagnostic techniques that enhance the understanding of fungal pathogenesis. This research is essential for advancing microbial diagnostics and tailoring treatments to combat invasive fungal infections effectively (Takei et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluconazole is an antifungal agent. It is highly selective inhibitor of fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 α-demethyllation. Fluconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9. Fluconazole interferes with fungal ergosterol synthesis and downregulates the metallothionein gene.

Fluconazole is recommended as first-line treatment in invasive candidiasis in children and infants. Although timely achievement of adequate exposure of fluconazole improves outcome, therapeutic drug monitoring is currently not recommended. We conducted a retrospective study of critically ill children treated
