Bioactivity | Voriconazole (UK-109496) camphorsulfonate is a second-generation, broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent that inhibits fungal ergosterol biosynthesis. Voriconazole camphorsulfonate exerts its antifungal activity by inhibition of 14-α-lanosterol demethylation, which is mediated by fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes[1][2]. |
Invitro | Voriconazole camphorsulfonate has great activity against S. apiospermum and C. neoformans with the MICs of 0.5 μg/mL and 0.125–0.25 μg/mL, respectively[1].Voriconazole camphorsulfonate inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent enzyme 14-alpha-sterol demethylase, thereby disrupting the cell membrane and halting fungal growth[2]. |
In Vivo | Voriconazole (5-20 mg/kg; p.o. for 21 days) camphorsulfonate prolongs survival in a dose-dependent fashion. Voriconazole (40 mg/kg/day) camphorsulfonate decreases the fungal burden in the lungs[3]. Animal Model: |
