Voriconazole is an inhibitor of 14α-lanosterol demethylase with IC50 value of 53nM [1].
Voriconazole is a triazole antifungal and a second-generation synthetic derivative of fluconazole. It plays its antifungal role through inhibiting cytochrome P450 (CYP 450)–dependent 14α-lanosterol demethylation, which is a vital step in the membrane ergosterol synthesis of fungi. Voriconazole has a broad antifungal spectrum. It is active against all Candida species, many Aspergillus species and other yeasts, including Cryptococcus neoformans, Trichosporon beigelii, and Saccharomyces cerevisia. Voriconazole is available in both intravenous and oral formulations. Voriconazole undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism via the cytochrome P450 enzymes, primarily CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. In addition, voriconazole also causes some side effects, such as visual disturbances, skin rashes and elevations in hepatic enzyme levels [1, 2].
