Application

Miconazole nitrate EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antifungal azole. Mode of action: Inhibits cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-demethylase, which is critical to ergosterol biosynthesis. The accumulated 14α-methylated sterols change the membrane structure of sensitive fungi, resulting in an altered cell membrane permeability. Also inhibits peroxidases, which results in accumulation of peroxide within the cell.
Miconazole interacts with 14-α demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme necessary for ergosterol biosynthesis. The inhibition of ergosterol results in increased cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents. Miconazole may also inhibit endogenous respiration, interact with phospholipids in the cell membrane, inhibit the transformation of yeasts to mycelial forms, inhibit purine uptake, and interfere with triglyceride and phospholipid biosynthesis.

Fungal skin infections, or dermatomycoses, are associated with a broad range of pathogens. Involvement of gram-positive bacteria is often suspected in dermatomycoses. Inflammation plays an important role in dermatomycoses, displaying a close association between frequent inflammation and reduced skin-related quality
