Mechanism of Action

Voriconazole works by inhibiting the fungal enzyme 14α-sterol demethylase, which is essential for the production of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane, Voriconazole stops fungal growth and ultimately leads to the death of the fungal cells.
