Miconazole
White or off white powder
Others
Miconazole is an antifungal synthetic derivative of imidazole and used in the treatment of candidal skin infections, Miconazole selectively affects the integrity of fungal cell membranes, high in ergosterol content and different in composition from mammalian cells membranes. (NCI04)
Miconazole, also known as monistat or dactarin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzylethers. These are aromatic ethers with the general formula ROCR' (R = alkyl, aryl; R'=benzene). Miconazole is a drug which is used for topical application in the treatment of tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by trichophyton rubrum, trichophyton mentagrophytes, and epidermophyton floccosum, in the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis (moniliasis), and in the treatment of tinea versicolor. Miconazole exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Miconazole has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as urine and blood. Within the cell, miconazole is primarily located in the cytoplasm and membrane (predicted from logP). Miconazole is a potentially toxic compound.
Miconazole is a broad-spectrum azole antifungal with some activity against Gram-positive bacteria as well. It is widely used to treat mucosal yeast infections, including both oral and vaginal infections; although intravenous miconazole is no longer available, a wide variety of suppositories, creams, gels, and tablet-based products are available. Miconazole is thought to act primarily through the inhibition of fungal CYP450 14α-lanosterol demethylase activity. Miconazole was first synthesized in 1969 and first granted FDA approval on January 8, 1974, for sale by INSIGHT Pharmaceuticals as a topical cream. It is currently available as a variety of prescription and over the counter products. Despite having been in clinical use for an extended period, resistance to miconazole among susceptible organisms is relatively low. 416.1 g/mol
