Butoconazole (RS-35887) is a synthetic imidazole analog with fungistatic/antifungal properties. It is an effective therapy for vulvovaginal candidiasis for women who prefer solid-type vaginal preparations. Butoconazole interferes with steroid biosynthesis by inhibiting the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, thereby changing the fungal cell membrane lipid composition. This alters cell permeability and leads to growth inhibition.
ln Vitro |
In general, imidazole prevents lanosterol from being converted to ergosterol, which alters the lipid composition of fungal cell membranes. The osmotic death or growth inhibition of fungal cells is the final result of this structural alteration, which also modifies cell permeability [1].

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following vaginal administration of butoconazole nitrate vaginal cream, 2% to 3 women, 1.7% (range 1.3-2.2%) of the dose was absorbed on average. |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Vaginal butoconazole has not been studied during breastfeeding. About 5.5% of a vaginal dose is absorbed and its plasma half-life is 21 to 24 hours. Because there is no published experience with butoconazole during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Butoconazole is a member of the class of imidazoles that is 1H-imidazole in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)sulfanyl]butyl group. An antifungal agent, it is used as its nitrate salt in gynaecology for treatment of vulvovaginal infections caused by Candida species, particularly Candida albicans. It is a member of imidazoles, an aryl sulfide, a dichlorobenzene, a member of monochlorobenzenes, an imidazole antifungal drug and a conazole antifungal drug. It is a conjugate base of a butoconazole(1+).
Butoconazole is an imidazole antifungal used in gynecology. Butoconazole is an Azole Antifungal. Butoconazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative with fungistatic properties. Butoconazole interferes with steroid biosynthesis by inhibiting the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, thereby changing the fungal cell membrane lipid composition. This alters cell permeability and leads to growth inhibition. Butaconazole nitrate is active against many dermatophytes and yeasts. It also contains antibacterial effects against some gram-positive organisms. See also: Butoconazole Nitrate (has salt form). Drug Indication For the local treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (infections caused by Candida) FDA Label Mechanism of Action The exact mechanism of the antifungal action of butoconazole is unknown, however, it is presumed to function as other imidazole derivatives via inhibition of steroid synthesis. Imidazoles generally inhibit the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol via the inhibition of the enzyme cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase, resulting in a change in fungal cell membrane lipid composition. This structural change alters cell permeability and, ultimately, results in the osmotic disruption or growth inhibition of the fungal cell. Pharmacodynamics Butoconazole is an imidazole derivative that has fungicidal activity in vitro against Candida spp. and has been demonstrated to be clinically effective against vaginal infections due to Candida albicans. Candida albicans has been identified as the predominant species responsible for vulvovaginal candidasis. |
