Description of Bifonazole

Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) is an imidazole antifungal drug.

Bifonazole (Bay H-4502), a new broad-spectrum antimycotic, interferes with sterol biosynthesis. In dermatophytes bifonazole additionally inhibits directly HMG-CoA-reductase. bifonazole possesses a sequential mode of action, namely inhibition of cytochrome P450-dependent C14-demethylation of sterols and direct inhibition of HMG-CoA-reductase. In vitro Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) shows a strongly pH-dependent efficacy. The uptake kinetics of Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) have been measured with different pathogens[1]. Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) additionally leads to a generally decreased rate of sterol biosynthesis as compared to clotrimazole, due to a direct inhibition of microsomal HMG-CoA-reductase. The additional fungicidal effects of Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) are considered to originate from a sequential action by inhibition of HMG-CoA-reductase and of cytochrome P450[2]. Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) were affected by choice of medium with Kimmig's agar generally giving the lowest MIC's. Bifonazole MICs were shown to vary with pH (maximal activity at pH 6.5) with selected yeasts when tested on Kimmig's agar[3].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
