Butoconazole（Cat No.:I014817）is an imidazole-class antifungal agent primarily used in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis caused by Candida species. It functions by inhibiting the fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, thereby blocking ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption increases membrane permeability and leads to fungal cell death. Administered mainly as a topical preparation, butoconazole provides effective localized therapy with minimal systemic absorption. In research, it serves as a tool for studying antifungal mechanisms, resistance pathways, and novel therapeutic strategies in infectious disease pharmacology.
