4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Used for the treatment of various topical fungal infections, including athlete's foot (tinea pedis).


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Bifonazole is a type of antifungal medicine known as an imidazole. It kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antifungal Agents

Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues. (See all compounds classified as Antifungal Agents.)


5.3 ATC Code

D - Dermatologicals

D01 - Antifungals for dermatological use

D01A - Antifungals for topical use

D01AC - Imidazole and triazole derivatives

D01AC10 - Bifonazole


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Very low absorption following topical administration (0.6% of an applied dose). In cases of skin lesions absorption is increased (2.5%).


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hepatic.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

1-2 hours


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Bifonazole works by inhibiting the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes.It acts to destabilize the fungal cyctochrome p450 51 enzyme (also known as Lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase). This is vital in the cell membrance structure of the fungus. Its inhibition leads to cell lysis. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the cell membrane and causes holes to appear. The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. As bifonazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi.
