| 21. | It binds physically to ergosterol within the membrane, thus creating a polar pore in fungal membranes.
|
| 22. | Its structure was determined in 1954 by comparison with a sample that was chemically synthesized from ergosterol.
|
| 23. | Preparations of irradiated ergosterol containing a mixture of previtamin and D vitamin were called Viosterol in the 1930s.
|
| 24. | Like other imidazole antifungals, sertaconazole blocks the synthesis of ergosterol by inhibiting the 14?-demethylase enzyme.
|
| 25. | Both Itraconazole and Fluconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol which is an important component of fungal cell membranes.
|
| 26. | Squalene epoxidase contributes to the formation of ergosterol Terbinafine, inhibits squalene epoxidase thereby preventing cell membrane formation.
|
| 27. | Also known to be present are various steroids, namely ergosterol, episterol, fecosterol, and lichesterol.
|
| 28. | Some studies test for changes in the production of important downstream ergosterol intermediates in the presence of these compounds.
|
| 29. | Ergocalciferol ( D2 ) is derived from ergosterol from UV-exposed mushrooms or yeast and is suitable for vegans.
|
| 30. | The cell membranes of fungi contain ergosterol in place of cholesterol, allowing them to produce compounds that inhibit cholesterol.
