Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to butoconazole nitrate (CAS RN 64872-77-1). Butoconazole is an imidazole derivative antifungal agent indicated for the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (yeast infection). The exact mechanism of the antifungal action of butoconazole is unknown; however, it is thought to function by inhibition of steroid synthesis like other imidazole derivatives. Imidazoles generally inhibit the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol via the inhibition of the enzyme cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase causing a change in fungal cell membrane lipid composition. This structural change alters cell permeability and results in the osmotic disruption or growth inhibition of the fungal cell.
