Antifungal agent.
ATX code:
G01AF02.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Clotrimazole is a broad spectrum antifungal agent for topical use. The antifungal effect of clotrimazole (imidazole derivative) is associated with disruption of ergosterol synthesis, a component of the cell membrane of fungi, which changes membrane permeability and causes subsequent cell lysis. In low concentrations it is fungistatic, in high concentrations it is fungicidal, and not only on proliferating cells. In fungicidal concentrations it interacts with mitochondrial and peroxidase enzymes resulting in increase of hydrogen peroxide concentration to toxic level, which also promotes destruction of fungal cells.
It is effective against dermatophytes, yeast-like, mold fungi and protozoa. It has antimicrobial action against Gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.) and anaerobes (Bacteroides spp, Gardnerella vaginalis). Clotrimazole has no effect on lactobacilli.
In vitro clotrimazole at a concentration of 0.5-10 µg/ml inhibits the reproduction of bacteria of the family Corinebacteria and Gram-positive cocci (except enterococci); at a concentration of 100 µg/ml has a trichomonacid effect.
