Fluconazole Mechanism of Action

Fluconazole is a highly selective inhibitor of fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 alpha demethylation. Mammalian demethylase activity is much less sensitive to Fluconazole inhibition in comparison with fungal demethylase. The subsequent loss of normal sterols correlates with the accumulation of 14 alpha-methyl sterols in fungi and may be responsible for the fungistatic activity of fluconazole. Fluconazole is mainly fungistatic; however, it may be fungicidal against certain organisms in a dose-dependent manner, specifically Cryptococcus.
