Lotrifung Mouth Paint 100ml

Lotrifung mouth paint 100ml is used to treat the following:

• Fungal infections like candidiasis
• Oral thrush

Lotrifung mouth paint 100ml's mechanism of action is based on its ability to inhibit the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Ergosterol maintains the integrity and fluidity of the fungal cell membrane. This medication targets an enzyme called 14-alpha demethylase, essential for converting lanosterol to ergosterol in the fungal cells. By inhibiting this enzyme, this medication disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, accumulating toxic sterol intermediates and causing structural damage to the fungal cell membrane. 

As a result, the cell becomes more permeable, allowing essential cellular components to leak out and leading to the death of the fungal organism. Since human cells do not produce ergosterol and have different enzymes for cholesterol synthesis, it exhibits selective toxicity, effectively targeting fungal pathogens while sparing human cells.
