Bifonazole

Catalog No. T1187   CAS 60628-96-8
Synonyms: Bay H-4502

Bifonazole (Bay H-4502) acts to destabilize the fungal cytochrome p450 51 enzyme (also known as Lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase). It works by inhibiting the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This is vital in the cell membrane structure of the fungus. Its inhibition leads to cell lysis. The disruption in production of ergosterol disrupts the cell membrane and causes holes to appear. The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out.

In vitro Bifonazole, a broad spectrum antifungal agent, inhibits monooxygenase activity and induces a type II binding spectrum in 2B4dH(H226Y), a modified enzyme previously crystallized in the presence of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazole (CPI). [1] Bifonazole (40 mM) releases Ca2+ from the store sensitive to 1 mM thapsigargin, an endopolasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor. Bifonazole (40 mM) per se induces capacitative Ca2+ entry while reduces 1 mM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. [2] Bifonazole is calmodulin antagonists which most effectively reduce glycolysis and ATP level in B16 melanoma cells. Bifonazole acts through allosteric regulation and detachment of glycolytic enzymes from cytoskeleton. [3] Bifonazole blocks PGE2 formation induced by 2 μm and 4 μm arachidonic acid clearly better than at 6 or 10 μm of the agonist. Bifonazole shows the same characteristics in MC3T3-E1 and UMR-106 cells stimulated by ionomycin or various concentrations of arachidonic acid. [4]
In vivo Bifonazole, but not clotrimazole, exhibits the characteristics of a peroxisome proliferator including hepatomegaly (increase in liver:body weight ratio), up to a 4-fold induction of lauric acid omega-hydroxylase activity and an 8-fold induction of palmitoyl-CoA oxidation by rat liver peroxisomes. Bifonazole also induces P402B1/2B2, P4503A and P4501A1, but not P4502E1. [5]

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box
