Ketoconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class. It is used to treat various fungal infections, including dermatophytosis, candidiasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and fungal cell death. Available in topical and oral formulations, it is commonly prescribed for both superficial and systemic fungal infections. However, due to potential liver toxicity, oral use is limited and carefully monitored.
Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, a type of cytochrome P450 enzyme. This inhibition blocks the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential sterol component of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes unstable and permeable, disrupting cell function and leading to fungal cell death. This mechanism makes ketoconazole effective against a wide range of fungal infections.
