Description
Ketoconazole is one of the drugs from the famous antifungal azole group. This drug is very competent in protecting humans against fungus but rarely utilized. Its limited use is because of the anti-androgenic effects on the human body. These side effects can sometimes be employed for human use, for example, in managing alopecia and Cushing’s syndrome.

USES:
Ketoconazole has two types of actions; antifungal and anti-androgenic. Antifungal uses include ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock’s itch, candidiasis, tinea versicolor, coccidioidomycosis, chromomycosis, etc. The anti-androgenic actions are utilized in the management of Cushing’s Syndrome and Alopecia.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
The Molecular formula for this drug is C26H28Cl2N4O4, whereas the IUPAC name for this ketoconazole is 1-[4-[4-[[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]piperazin-1-yl]ethenone.
PRODUCT APPLICATION:
When you look at the azole antifungals, they are very much similar to imidazole. Like other azoles, ketoconazole blocks the synthesis of ergosterol in the fungi. This cholesterol-like compound is necessary for the maintenance of the fungal membranes, and its absence causes the fungal cells to die. The action of inhibiting ergosterol synthesis makes it a fantastic drug for fungal infections.
