Sulphonamides and Sulfones Historical development, chemistry, classification and SAR of Sulfonamides: Sulphamethizole, Sulfisoxazole, Sulphamethizine, Sulfacetamide*, Sulphapyridine, Sulfamethoxazole*, Sulphadiazine, Mefenide acetate, Sulfasalazine. Folate reductase inhibitors: Trimethoprim*, Cotrimoxazole. Sulfones: Dapsone*. Anti Fungal Agents These are drugs used for superficial and deep (systemic) fungal infections. Many topical antifungals have been available since the antiseptic era. Two important antibiotics: amphotericin B to deal with systemic mycosis, and griseofulvin—to supplement attack on dermatophytes were introduced around 1960. Antifungal property of flucytosine was noted in 1970, but it could serve only as a companion drug to amphotericin. CLASSIFICATION Classification Based on the Chemical Structure, Action, and Source The antifungal agents can be divided into the following classes, based on their chemical structure, mechanism of action, and source: I. Antibiotics: Amphotericin B, Nystatin, Griseofulvin II. Azoles (imidazole, triazole derivates) Triazoles—Fluconazole, Itraconzole, Terconazole Imidazoles—Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole, Miconazole, Bifonazole, Butoconazole, and Zinoconazole III. Fluorinated pyrimidines: Flucytosine IV. Chitin synthetase inhibitors: Nikomycin Z V. Peptides/proteins: Cispentacin VI. Miscellaneous: Ciclopirox, Tolnaftate, Naftifine, and Terbinafine Classification Based on the Route of Administration I. Drugs for subcutaneous and systemic mycoses: Amphotericin B, Fluconazole, Flucytosine, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole. II. Drugs for superficial mycoses: Clotrimazole, Econazole, Griseofluvin, Miconazole, Nystatin.
