Bifonazole is an imidazole antifungal drug. Bifonazole has dual mode of action. It blocks transformation of 24-methylendihydrolanosterol to desmethylsterol in fungi together with inhibition of HMG-CoA. This enables fungicidal properties against dermatophytes and distinguishes bifonazole from other antifungal drugs. Bifonazole is marketed by Bayer under the trade mark Canespor in ointment form.
