Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Miconazole nitrate is an 14-α demethylase inhibitor and potential glucocorticoid receptor antagonist that inhibits ergosterol synthesis and fungal cell wall formation. It is used to treat fungal infections and is especially active against Candida. It also decreases expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in breast cancer and glioma cells.

Product Data
Biological target:
Miconazole nitrate (R18134 nitrate) is an imidazole antifungal agent.
In vitro activity:
Miconazole was found efficacious against gram-positive aerobic bacteria (n=62 species), the MICs against Staphylococcus (S.) aureus, S. spp., Streptococcus spp. und Enterococcus spp. ranged between 0.78 and 6.25 μg/mL. In conclusion, for the gram-positive aerobic bacteria the MICs of miconazole were found within a range which is much lower than the concentration of miconazole used in topical preparations (2%). Thus topically applied miconazole might be a therapeutic option in skin infections especially caused by gram-positive bacteria even by those strains which are resistant to antibiotics. Reference: Mycoses. 2017 Aug;60(8):552-557. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28370366/
In vivo activity:
The cooperative ability was significantly improved in APP/PS1 mice treated with miconazole. Miconazole treatment increased oligodendrocyte maturation and myelin sheath thickness without reducing Aβ plaque deposition, reactive gliosis, and inflammatory factor levels in the mPFC. Miconazole also protected cultured oligodendrocytes from the toxicity of Aβ1-42. Reference: Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. 2022 Nov 17;25(11):951-967. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36112386/
