Descriptor clotrimazol
Scope note: Derivado del imidazol que posee un amplio espectro de actividad antimicótica. Inhibe la biosíntesis del esterol ergostol, un importante componente de la MEMBRANA CELULAR de los hongos. Su acción produce un incremento de la permeabilidad de la membrana y una aparente alteración de los sistemas enzimáticos unidos a la membrana.
