    Product Description

    Voriconazole is a triazole antifungal agent and a derivative of fluconazole (Item No. 11594).1,2 It is active against a variety of yeast and fungi, including clinical isolates of A. flavus, A. fumigatus, F. oxysporum, F. solani, C. albicans, and C. neoformans (MICs = <0.03-16 µg/ml).1 Voriconazole is also active against 56 clinical isolates of fluconazole-resistant C. albicans (MICs = 0.015-8 µg/ml).2 It inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in C. albicans, C. glabrata, A. fumigatus, and A. flavus (IC50s = 0.03-1 µg/ml).3 Voriconazole (10 mg/kg twice per day, i.v.) decreases the number of lung colony-forming units (CFUs), reduces alveolar collapse and lung inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis, and increases survival in a rat model of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.4 Formulations containing voriconazole have been used in the treatment of fungal infections.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
