| Analysis Note: | These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP and EP (PhEur) primary standards, where they are available. |
| Application: | Miconazole nitrate may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by various techniques. |
| Application: | These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| General description: | Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. Miconazole nitrate is an imidazole derivative and a broad spectrum antifungal drug used in the management of fungal outbreak in humans and veterinary animals. |
