Description

Miconazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative, a topical antifungal agent for use in the local treatment of vaginal, and skin and nail infections due to yeasts and dermatophytes. It is particularly active against Candida spp., Trichophyton spp., Epidermophyton spp., Microsporum spp. and Pityrosporon orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), but also possesses some activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It binds to the heme moiety of the fungal cytochrome P-450 dependent enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethlyase. Inhibits 14-alpha-demethlyase, blocks formation of ergosterol and leads to the buildup of toxic methylated 14-a-sterols. Miconazole also affects the synthesis of triglycerides and fatty acids and inhibits oxidative and peroxidative enzymes, increasing the amount of active oxygen species within the cell.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Application of one ORAVIG 50 mg buccal tablet to the gum region once daily for 14 consecutive days. External miconazole nitrate vulvar cream (2%): twice daily, for up to 7 days as needed. Miconazole nitrate vaginal insert (1200mg): with the applicator place the vaginal insert into the vagina.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
The antifungal drug, miconazole nitrate, inhibits the growth of several species of Candida. Candida albicans, one of the pathogenic species, was totally inhibited at a concentration of approximately 10 mug/ml.
