Two series (a and b) of N- substituted heteroaromatic compounds related to clotrimazole were synthesized. Imidazole ring of the clotrimazole was replaced by 2-methylimidazole in series a, and by 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole in series b. O-cholortrityl moiety of clotrimazole was also replaced by trityl, mono or dimethoxy trityl. Chemical structures...

Microbiota studies are an increasingly important issue today. In the literature, there limited on antifungal resistance and biofilm formation capacity of yeasts isolated from mouths young individuals. For this reason, our study was carried out with 133 yeast isolates 17 individuals between ages 18-25 in 2018-2020. When biofilm-forming capacities were examined, it determined that 99.25% producer...

This study examined the role of outward K(+) currents in the acinar cells underlying secretion from Brunner's glands in guinea pig duodenum. Intracellular recordings were made from single acinar cells in intact acini in in vitro submucosal preparations, and videomicroscopy was employed in the same preparation to correlate these measures with secretion. Mean resting membrane potential was -74 mV...

The antimycotic drug clotrimazole inhibits the function of the gastric H,K-ATPase in a manner similar to that observed for the Na,K-ATPase. Because of the high hydrophobicity of the compound, the interaction between clotrimazole and the ion pump occurs at the membrane domain in the apolar core of the membrane. The enzymatic activity was inhibited with a half-saturating concentration of 5.2 micr...

We have isolated a K(+)-selective, Ca(2+)-dependent whole cell current and single-channel correlate in the human erythroleukemia (HEL) cell line. The whole cell current was inhibited by the intermediate-conductance KCa3.1 inhibitors clotrimazole, TRAM-34, and charybdotoxin, unaffected by the small-conductance KCa2 family inhibitor apamin and the large-conductance KCa1.1 inhibitors paxilline and...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of various antifungal agents against moulds isolated from dermatological specimens. METHODS We identified 29 moulds from dermatological specimens between October 2012 and March 2013 by conventional methods. We performed antifungal susceptibility testing on six antifungal agents, amphotericin B, clotrimazole,...

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of the flow-through cell apparatus for testing commercial vaginal tablets containing poorly water-soluble clotrimazole. Methods: The effect of experimental conditions (type of dissolution medium, flow rate and positioning of the tablet) on the dissolution profile of clotrimazole were examined and optimal parameters for conducting the experiments were determin...
