General Description

• Voriconazole is an antifungal compound that has activity against a wide variety of fungal species including Aspergillus and Candida
• Voriconazole blocks sterol biosynthesis in Candida species through inhibition of CYP450-dependent 14-alpha sterol demethylase
• It depletes the presence of ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane, which can lead to death or growth inhibition, depending on the organism

Applications

• Voriconazole may be used in laboratory studies of drug safety, pharmacokinetics, and mechanism of action
