Notes: Ravuconazole is an orally available triazole fungicide that potently inhibits the growth of a wide range of fungi (MICs range from 25 to 780 ng/ml).{30389,30390} Like other azoles, ravuconazole inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms that are involved in ergosterol biosynthesis, interfering with the generation of the fungal and protozoan cell membranes.{30388} Ravuconazole specifically inhibits sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51).{30392,30391} As this enzyme is also important in the development of trypanosomes, ravuconazole is effective against T. cruzi infections in animal models of Chagas disease.{30392,30391}
