How Sertaconazole works

  • Sertaconazole, an antifungal agent of the azole class, works by blocking the action of the enzyme cytochrome P-450-mediated 14 alpha-lanosterol demethylase. This enzyme is responsible for converting lanosterol into ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By inhibiting this conversion, sertaconazole disrupts the integrity of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell injury and leakage of essential cell contents into the cytoplasm.
