MSH: Triazole antifungal agent that is used to treat oropharyngeal candidiasis and cryptococcal meningitis in AIDS.,CSP: alpha-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-alpha- (1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,2, 4- triazole-1-ethanol; an antifungal with potential efficacy for patients unable to take amphotericin B or who are immunologically compromised, as in AIDS.,NCI: A drug that treats infections caused by fungi.,CHV: a kind of antifungal drug,PDQ: A synthetic triazole with antifungal activity. Fluconazole preferentially inhibits fungal cytochrome P-450 sterol C-14 alpha-demethylation, resulting in the accumulation of fungal 14 alpha-methyl sterols, the loss of normal fungal sterols, and fungistatic activity. Mammalian cell demethylation is much less sensitive to fluconazole inhibition.
