Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Cresemba contains an azole antifungal component called isavuconazonium sulfate. This sulfate component is then metabolised into the human body into isavuconazole. When there is a fungal infection in the human body, fungal particles are present. These fungal particles have a component called "ergosterol" as the main ingredient in their cell membranes. The enzyme isavuconazole works by inhibiting the formation of ergosterol. By doing this, there is a breakage of the cell membranes of the fungal particles. There is a decrease in fungal infectious cells when this happens because new fungal cells are not being made, and the parent cells also start to break.
