Allylamine Antifungals Definition
Allylamine antifungal drugs
Allylamine antifungal drugs are a class of drugs with unique effects in the field of antifungal drugs. Their mechanism of action is specific, mainly by inhibiting the key enzyme in the process of ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes, namely squalene cyclooxygenase, resulting in a large accumulation of squalene in bacteria, which in turn destroys the integrity and function of fungal cell membranes, inhibiting fungal growth and even death.
These drugs are widely used in medical practice and have significant efficacy in treating infections caused by many common fungi. For superficial skin mycosis such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea manis caused by cutaneous tinea fungus infection, allylamine antifungal drugs can often play a good therapeutic effect. Its advantage is that the antibacterial spectrum is relatively narrow, but it is highly targeted to cutaneous tinea fungi, and the effect is fast, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of patients and relieve pain.
In clinical use, according to the site and severity of the infection, external or oral dosage forms can be selected. External preparations are convenient and fast, directly acting on the surface of the infected skin, and can reduce adverse reactions in the whole body; oral dosage forms are suitable for more serious or widespread fungal infections, and can reach lesions all over the body through blood circulation.
However, the use of allylamine antifungal drugs should also pay attention to its adverse reactions. When used topically, some patients may experience local skin irritation symptoms, such as erythema, itching, burning sensation, etc.; when taken orally, there are occasional gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, dizziness, etc. Therefore, when clinical application, physicians should weigh the pros and cons and choose reasonably to achieve the best therapeutic effect, while ensuring the safety of patients taking medication.
