Application: | Miconazole nitrate BP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the British Pharmacopoeia. Also used in monographs such as: • Miconazole and Hydrocortisone Cream • Miconazole and Hydrocortisone Ointment • Miconazole Eye Drops • Miconazole Oromucosal Gel • Miconazole Cream |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | 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. |
