GlossaryVoriconazole

antifungal drug treating serious fungal infections

Voriconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat serious fungal infections, such as aspergillosis and candidiasis. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, making it effective for patients with weakened immune systems. For professionals, it's important to note that Voriconazole is a triazole antifungal that inhibits the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase, crucial for ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes.
