NCIt definition : A synthetic, imidazole derivate with broad-spectrum, antifungal activity. Clotrimazole
inhibits biosynthesis of sterols, particularly ergosterol, an essential component
of the fungal cell membrane, thereby damaging and affecting the permeability of the
cell membrane. This results in leakage and loss of essential intracellular compounds,
and eventually causes cell lysis.;
