-
Azoles
appears to inhibit fungal CYP450 enzymes responsible for fungal sterol biosynthesis, lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase
-
Allylamines
inhibits squalene 2,3-epoxidase in the ergosterol pathway which leads to the buildup of squalene damaging cell membranes
-
Polyenes
appear to bind cell wall sterols leading to disruption of the membrane and loss of K+
-
Griseofulvin
binds tubulin dimer and prevents microtubule formation by causing dissolution of mitotic spindle apparatus leading to arrest of cell division
-
Phenol and derivatives
acts on cell membranes and blocks amino acid transport into cell
-
Fatty acids
disruption of cell membranes
-
Nucleoside -- Flucytosine
incorporated in RNA, deaminated to 5-fluorouracil leading to inhibition of thymidylate synthetase
-
Glucan synthesis inhibitors
inhibit the synthesis of beta (1,3)-D-glucan an integral component of the fungal cell wall
-
Gentian violet
disruption of cell walls
-
Hlaoprogin – Halotex
inhibit DNA replication
