The 13 pages that link to Ergosterol, each with the reason it gives.

• Antifungal resistanceRelated: Changes in ergosterol production or structure can reduce susceptibility to membrane-targeting drugs.

• TerbinafineRelated: Blocking its synthesis weakens fungal membranes and contributes to terbinafine’s action.

• SqualeneRelated: Fungi synthesize ergosterol through a pathway that begins with squalene.

• Azole antifungalRelated: Azole inhibition lowers ergosterol and causes abnormal sterol intermediates to accumulate.

• SterolBroader topic: Its distinctive unsaturation makes it a major fungal membrane sterol.

• Amphotericin BRelated: Amphotericin B binds this fungal membrane sterol, helping explain its activity against fungi.

• Antifungal drugRelated: Many antifungal drugs disrupt ergosterol or its production to weaken fungal membranes.

• AntifungalRelated: Several major antifungal classes disrupt ergosterol or its production.

• Adolf WindausRelated: Its conversion supplied a key experimental route for studying antirachitic substances.

• ClotrimazoleRelated: Clotrimazole lowers ergosterol levels, disrupting the membranes fungi need to grow.

• FluconazoleRelated: Fluconazole reduces ergosterol production, weakening normal fungal membrane function.

• ErgocalciferolRelated: Ultraviolet irradiation of this precursor produces ergocalciferol.

• NatamycinRelated: Natamycin binds ergosterol, disrupting fungal membrane processes without simply making pores.
