Ett imidazolderivat med brett antimykotiskt spektrum. Medlet hämmar biosyntesen av sterolen ergostol, en viktig beståndsdel i svampcellmembran. Dess verkan leder till ökad membranpermeabilitet och uppluckring av membranbundna enzymsystem.
An imidazole derivative with a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity. It inhibits biosynthesis of the sterol ergostol, an important component of fungal CELL MEMBRANES. Its action leads to increased membrane permeability and apparent disruption of enzyme systems bound to the membrane.
