Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) is an antifungal agent that inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51), disrupting ergosterol biosynthesis and compromising membrane integrity, leading to cell lysis. It is widely used in biochemical research to study antifungal mechanisms and has been utilized in both in vitro susceptibility assays and in vivo models of dermatophyte infections.
