Bifonazole is a substituted imidazole antifungal agent that inhibits fungal ergosterol biosynthesis through the target cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase (CYP51). By blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, bifonazole impairs fungal cell membrane integrity and permeability. This disruption leads to the accumulation of toxic methylsterol intermediates, suppression of fungal cell proliferation, and fungal cell death. [1]

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer significantly longer shelf life compared to stock solutions, ensuring maximum stability for every use.
