Amorolfine, a morpholine derivative, is the first of a new class of antifungal drugs. The mechanism of action is inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis in the fungal cell membrane. Alteration in the membrane sterol content leads to changes in membrane permeability and disruption of key fungal metabolic processes.
Amorolfine or amorolfin, is a morpholine antifungal drug that inhibits the fungal enzymes D14 reductase and D7-D8 isomerase. This inhibition affects fungal sterol synthesis pathways, depleting ergosterol and causing ignosterol to accumulate in the fungal cytoplasmic cell membranes.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
