Sulconazole nitrate

Sulconazole Nitrate is the nitrate salt form of sulconazole, a synthetic imidazole derivative with antifungal property. Sulconazole nitrate inhibits fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 alpha-demethylation, resulting in the accumulation of fungal 14 alpha-methyl sterols and inhibition of the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of the fungal cell membrane. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis leads to a disruption of cell membrane permeability, and ultimately inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Additionally, sulconazole nitrate seems to interfere with the autolytic degradation of fungal DNA and RNA. Its therapeutic use is listed as antifungals and dermatologicals. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Sulconazolenitrate, Sulconazole mononitrate and Sulconazole nitrate salt. Its PubChem CID is 65495.
