Butoconazole, trade names Gynazole-1, an imidazole antifungal used in gynecology for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (infections caused by Candida). The exact mechanism of the antifungal action of butoconazole nitrate is unknown; however, it is presumed to function as other imidazole derivatives via inhibition of steroid synthesis. Imidazoles generally inhibit the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, resulting in a change in fungal cell membrane lipid composition. This structural change alters cell permeability and, ultimately, results in the osmotic disruption or growth inhibition of the fungal cell.

Sample Use Guides
The recommended dose of Gynazole·1 (butoconazole nitrate) is one applicatorful of cream (approximately 5 grams of the cream) intravaginally. This amount of cream contains approximately 100 mg of butoconazole nitrate.
Route of Administration:
Vaginal
Increasing levels of butoconazole were added to 150 microliters of a dilution in Roiron medium adjusted to 50,000 Trichomonas/ml. Results were read after 1, 2, 6 and 24 hours aerobic incubation at 37 degrees C. Minimum lethal concentration was 93 micrograms/microliters after one hour, 23 micrograms/microliter after six hours and 12 micrograms/microliters after 24 hours. These findings warrant in vivo studies of butoconazole against Trichomonas. This drug may prove very useful since concomitant infection of the genital tract by Trichomonas and Candida is common.
