Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Fenticonazole nitrate is an imidazole antifungal agent that targets fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly lanosterol 14α-demethylase. By inhibiting this key enzyme, it blocks the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption impairs cell membrane integrity and increases membrane permeability, leading to fungal growth inhibition and cell death in human pathogenic fungi such as Candida species.

FAQ
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).
