THERAPEUTIC
CLASSIFICATION
Antifungal Agent
ACTION
Clotrimazole acts primarily by damaging the permeability barrier in
the cell membrane of
fungi. Clotrimazole brings about inhibition of ergosterol
biosynthesis, an essential constituent
of fungal cell membranes. If ergosterol synthesis is completely or
partially inhibited, the cell is
no longer able to construct an intact cell membrane. This leads to
death of the fungus.
Exposure
of
Candida
albicans
to
clotrimazole
causes
leakage
of
intracellular
phosphorus compounds into the ambient medium with a concomitant
breakdown of cellular
nucleic acids and potassium eflux. The onset of these events is rapid
and extensive after
exposure
of
the
organism
to the
drug,
and
causes
a
time-dependent
and
concentration-
dependent inhibition of fungal growth.
