NAME OF DRUG
NU-FLUCONAZOLE-150
(Fluconazole)
Capsules, 150 mg
THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antifungal Agent
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Fluconazole is a highly selective inhibitor of fungal cytochrome P-450
sterol C-14-_alpha_-
demethylation. Mammalian cell demethylation is much less sensitive to
fluconazole inhibition.
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.
A standard, randomized, two-way crossover, single-dose bioavailability
study was conducted in
twenty (20) healthy, adult, male volunteers to evaluate the relative
bioavailability of single oral
doses (1
H
150 mg) of NU-FLUCONAZOLE-150 Capsules manufactured by Apotex Inc. and
Diflucan 150® Capsules manufactured by Pfizer Canada Inc.
The mean pharmacokinetic parameters of the 17 subjects completing the
study are listed in the
