Clotrimazole an imidazole derivative with a broad spectrum of antimycotic activity that inhibits biosynthesis of the sterol ergostol an important component of fungal cell membrane. Its action leads to increased membrane permeability and apparent disruption of enzyme systems bound to the membrane. Clotrimazole inhibits biosynthesis of sterols, 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.
