What is Comprehensive Guide to Antifungal Drugs about?
Antifungal drugs work by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, cell wall, or other cellular processes. There are several classes of antifungal drugs including azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins. Azoles like ketoconazole work by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis in fungal cells. Amphotericin B is a polyene antibiotic that binds to ergosterol in the membrane and forms pores. These drugs treat various fungal infections but can have side effects like nephrotoxicity.
