23. Azole antifungals such as sulconazole are known to act by inhibition of the fungal cell CYP51 lanosterol demethylase. Though inhibitory activity data for the enantiomers of sulconazole is not available, in vitro studies of very similar azole antifungals have demonstrated that the R-enantiomer can be up to 60-fold more active than the S-enantiomer.
