Neticonazole

Definition

ChEBI: Neticonazole is an enamine that is ethene which is substituted at positions 1, 1, and 2 by o-pentoxyphenyl, 1H-imidazol-1-yl, and methylthio groups, respectively (the E isomer). An inhibitor of P450-dependent C-14alpha-demethylation of lanosterol (preventing conversion to ergosterol and inhibiting cell wall synthesis in fungi), it is used in Japan (generally as the corresponding hydrochloride salt) as an antifungal drug for the treatment of superficial skin infections. It has a role as an antifungal drug and an EC 1.14.13.70 (sterol 14alpha-demethylase) inhibitor. It is an aromatic ether, a methyl sulfide, a member of imidazoles, an enamine, a member of benzenes, a conazole antifungal drug and an imidazole antifungal drug. It is a conjugate base of a neticonazole(1+).

Biological Activity
