Econazole

Econazole ((±) -Econazol) is an orally active imidazole antifungal agent, as well as a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor and a blocker of calcium and manganese ion uptake. Econazole is active against a variety of fungi and some Gram-positive bacteria, but has no significant activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Econazole can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins and can also induce liver damage[1][2][3][4][5].
