11.1 ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS

Fungal diseases are called mycoses. Mycoses are common, and a variety of environmental
and physiological factors can play a role in the development of fungal diseases. Inhalation of
fungal spores or localized colonization of the skin may initiate persistent infections. Therefore,
mycoses often start in the lungs or on the skin.
Anti-infective Agents 273
Antifungal agents are the drugs that selectively eliminate fungal pathogens in a host while
causing minimal toxicity to the host. Fungicides or fungistatics are the two types of medications
that are used to treat and prevent fungal diseases like athlete’s foot, ringworm, candidiasis
(thrush), and dangerous systemic infections such as cryptococcal meningitis. The majority of
these medications require a doctor’s prescription, although a few are available over-the-counter
(over-the-counter).
Types of Fungal Infections
1. Superficial mycoses: Superficial mycoses occur to the outermost layers of the skin and
hair; affect skin and mucous membrane; and rarely life-threatening, In some cases, it
spreads to other part of the body or become invasive (systemic). Most superficial fungal
infections are easily diagnosed and can be treated effectively. Superficial mycoses are
caused by Pityrosporum orbiculare, Trichosporon cutaneum (white), Piedraia hortae
(black).
Disease state: Tinea versicolor, Piedra, oral thrushes, and athlete’s foot, nail infections,
etc.
2. Cutaneous Mycoses (Dermatophytoses): Cutaneous mycoses are infections of the
keratinized epidermal appendages that are found on the skin’s surface (include invasive
hair and nail diseases). Unlike the superficial mycoses, the organisms that cause these
diseases are called dermatophytes. Cutaneous mycoses are caused by Microsporum,
Trichophyton and Epidermophyton fungi, candida albicans and related forms.
Disease state: Ringworm of scalp, hairless skin, candidosis of skin, mucous membrane,
etc.
Classification of Antifungal Drugs Based on Structure
1. Antibiotics
(a) Polyenes: Amphotericin B (AMB), Nystatin, Natamycin, Hamycin
(b) Heterocyclic benzofurans: Griseofulvin
2. Antimetabolites: 5-Flucytosine (5-FC)
3. Azoles
(a) Imidazoles:
➢ Topical: Clotrimazole, Econazole, Miconazole, Oxiconazole
➢ Systemic: Ketoconazol
(b) Triazoles: Fluconazole, Itraconazole, Voriconazole, Posaconazole, Ravuconazole
4. Allylamines: Terbinafine, Butenafine, Naftifine, Amorolfine
5. Echinocandins: Caspofungin, Cilofungin, Micafungin, Anidulafungine
6. Other topical agents: Tolnaflate, Undecylenic acid, benzoic acid, Salicylic acid,
Dichlorophen, Ciclopirox olamine, Thiabendazole, Quinidochlor, Sodium iodide.

Polene Antibiotics
Antifungal antibiotics have been isolated from soil bacteria Streptomyces. Polen antibiotics
used clinically to treat fungal infections- nystatin, amphotericin B, and candicidin. All three are
used in the treatment of topical infections, while only amphotericin B is used against sysatemic
infections.
The polyene antibiotics have broad antifungal activity against organisms ranging from yeasts
to filamentous fungi and from saprophytic to pathogenic fungi.

11.1.1 Amphotericin-B

Generic Name: Amphotericin B
Drug Class: Polyenes
Brand Names: Fungizone, Abelcet, Ambisome, Amphotec, Fungizone.
Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces nodosus. It has a
broad spectrum of activity against many fungal species, e.g., Candida (excluding C. lusitaniea),
Aspergillus, Cryptococcus neoformans, Coccidioides species, Blastomyces, Histoplasma,
Fusarium, Scedosporium and Zygomycetes.
The structure of amphotericin B contains a large lactone (macrolide) ring with numerous
conjugated double bonds. The polar hydroxylated portion and the non-polar hydrocarbon
sequence lend an amphiphilic character to the molecule. It interacts with ergosterols, forms pores
that increase membrane permeability and allow leakage of intracellular ions and macromolecules
from fungal cell (cause cell death).
Uses:
➢ Amphotericin B is used to treat serious, life-threatening fungal infections.
➢ It is not used for the treatment of a minor fungal infection such as a yeast infection of the
mouth, esophagus, or vagina.
➢ Amphotericin B is FDA-approved for the opportunistic infections (OIs) of HIV. It is
recommended for the treatment of:
Anti-infective Agents 275
• Candidiasis, including esophageal and invasive candidiasis
• Cryptococcosis
• Histoplasmosis
• Coccidioidomycosis
• Leishmaniasis infections (including visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous
leishmaniasis)
• Talaromycosis
Properties: Amphotericin B appears as deep yellow prisms or needles from DMF. It is a yellow
to orange, odorless, or practically odorless, powder. It is insoluble in water, dehydrated alcohol,
ether, benzene, and toluene; soluble in dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and in propylene
glycol, and slightly soluble in methyl alcohol.
Storage/Stability: It should be stored below 8°C in airtight containers and protected from light. It
is stable for 3 days in culture at 37°C. It is stable at 2°C to 8°C for 2-3 weeks. For long-term
stability, solutions should be kept frozen at –20°C.
Dosage Forms: Intravenous powder for injection (50 mg).
Officials:
➢ Amphotericin, I.P.
➢ Amphotericin, B.P.

11.1.2 Griseofulvin

Brand Names: Grifulvin V, Fulvicin P/G
Griseofulvin belongs to the group of medicines called antifungal. It is used to treat fungus,
infections of the body, feet, groin and thighs, scalp, skin, fingernails, and toenails. This medicine
may be taken alone or used along with medicines that are applied to the skin for fungus
infections.
Griseofulvin is a benzofuran derivative which is fungistatic but is fungicidal for young active
cells. It accumulates in the stratum corneum and is highly effective against the dermatophytes.
It has a fungistatic action against Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton species. It is
an antibiotic use to treat fungal infections such as ringworm of the body, athlete’s foot, barber’s
itch, and fungal or ringworm of the nails. It inhibits fungal cell mitosis by causing disruption of
the mitotic spindle structure, thereby arresting the metaphase of cell division.
276 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
IUPAC Name: (2S,5'R)-7-chloro-3',4,6-trimethoxy-5'-methylspiro[1-benzofuran-2,4'-cyclohex-2-
ene]-1',3-dione
Properties: Griseofulvin appears as white to pale cream-colored crystalline, tasteless powder.
It is odorless or almost odorless, soluble in n,n-dimethylformamide. It is slightly soluble in
ethanol, chloroform, methanol, acetic acid, acetone, benzene, and ethyl acetate; practically
insoluble in water and petroleum ether.
It is practically insoluble in water due to its low water solubility. Griseofulvin has a low
dissolution rate, which leads to low drug bioavailability. It is used orally only for
dermatophytosis. It is ineffective topically and reserved for cases in which topical treatment with
creams is ineffective.
Uses:
➢ Griseofulvin is used in the treatment of fungal infections of the skin and hair.
➢ It is used for the treatment of ringworm infections of the skin, hair, and nails, namely:
tinea corporis, tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea barbae and cradle cap.
➢ It is a fungistatic agent used to treat superficial fungal skin infections such as tinea capitis
➢ It is used for the treatment of athlete’s foot.
➢ It is used to treat especially those areas that are difficult to treat locally (eye, mouth), or
those refractory to other therapy.
➢ It is used in fungal infections of the scalp.
Dosage Forms:
➢ Oral suspension: Microcrystalline 125 mg/5 mL
➢ Oral tablet: Microcrystalline 500 mg
➢ Ultra microcrystalline 125 mg
➢ Ultra microcrystalline 250 mg
Storage Conditions: Preparation of Griseofulvin should generally be stored at a temperature less
than 40°C, preferably between 15°C to 30°C. Griseofulvin oral suspension should be protected
from freezing and stored in light-resistant containers. These drugs should be stored in well-closed
containers.
