Although there are several mechanisms disclosed for antifungal action, among azole drugs all share a common mechanism of action. Antifungal azoles act by targeting the fungal cell membrane, affecting the synthesis of ergosterol. Ergosterol is a mammalian cholesterol derivative, and it is a fundamental component of the fungal cell membrane.
This webpage provides an overview of the pharmacology of azoles, a class of antifungal agents that target the fungal cell membrane. It covers the mechanism of action, spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, and drug interactions of azoles.
Common types include azoles, echinocandins, and polyenes, each with distinct mechanisms of action and applications. Understanding these antifungals, their uses

In this review, new developments focusing on the azole antifungal class of drugs will be discussed, highlighting emerging drug candidates with this chemical scaffold. An historical perspective of antifungal azole drugs and their mechanism of action will be introduced, and new approaches and clinical trial candidates will be presented.
