- Brand Names
- Sporanox, Tolsura
- Generic Name
- Itraconazole
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB01167
- Background
First synthesized in the early 1980s, itraconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent used to treat a variety of infections.1 It is a 1:1:1:1 racemic mixture of four diastereomers, made up of two enantiomeric pairs, each possessing three chiral centers.5 Itraconazole was first approved in the US in 1992 6 and is available orally. While the intravenous formulation of the drug was formerly available, it was discontinued in the US in 2007.4

- Pharmacodynamics
Itraconazole is an antifungal agent that inhibits cell growth and promotes cell death of fungi.1 It exhibits in vitro activity against Blastomyces dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Histoplasma duboisii, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Trichophyton species.5
- Mechanism of action
Itraconazole mediates its antifungal activity by inhibiting 14α-demethylase, a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.5 The azole nitrogen atoms in the chemical structure of itraconazole form a complex with the active site, or the haem iron, of the fungal enzyme to impede its function.1,4 The accumulation of lanosterol and 14-methylated sterols results in increased permeability of the fungal cell membrane, and modified membrane-bound enzyme activity, and dysregulated chitin synthesis.1,2,3 Other proposed mechanisms of action of itraconazole include the inhibition of fungal cytochrome c oxidative and peroxidative enzymes that also lead to the disruption of fungal cell membranes.1
Target Actions Organism ALanosterol 14-alpha demethylase inhibitorCandida tropicalis - Absorption
Itraconazole is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. As oral capsules, peak plasma concentrations of itraconazole are reached within two to five hours. The observed absolute oral bioavailability of itraconazole is about 55%. Itraconazole exposure is lower with the capsule formulation than with the oral solution when the same dose of the drug is given.5 Maximal drug absorption is achieved under adequate gastric acidity.1,5
As a consequence of non-linear pharmacokinetics, itraconazole accumulates in plasma during multiple dosing. Steady-state concentrations are generally reached within about 15 days, with Cmax values of 0.5 μg/mL, 1.1 μg/mL and 2.0 μg/mL after oral administration of 100 mg once daily, 200 mg once daily and 200 mg b.i.d., respectively.5
- Volume of distribution
The volume of distribution is more than 700 L in adults.4,5 Itraconazole is lipophilic and extensively distributed into tissues. Concentrations in the lung, kidney, liver, bone, stomach, spleen and muscle were found to be two to three times higher than corresponding concentrations in plasma, and the uptake into keratinous tissues, skin in particular, up to four times higher. Concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid are much lower than in plasma.5
- Protein binding
Most of the itraconazole in plasma is bound to protein (99.8%), with albumin being the main binding component (99.6% for the hydroxy-metabolite). It also has a marked affinity for lipids. Only 0.2% of the itraconazole in plasma is present as the free drug.5
- Metabolism
Itraconazole is extensively metabolized in the liver. In vitro studies have shown that CYP3A4 is the major enzyme involved in the metabolism of itraconazole.5 While itraconazole can be metabolized to more than 30 metabolites,2 the main metabolite is hydroxyitraconazole. Hydroxyitraconazole has in vitro antifungal activity comparable to itraconazole; trough plasma concentrations of this metabolite are about twice those of the parent compound.5
Other metabolites include keto-itraconazole and N-dealkyl-itraconazole.4

- Route of elimination
Itraconazole is excreted mainly as inactive metabolites in urine (35%) and in feces (54%) within one week of an oral solution dose. Renal excretion of itraconazole and the active metabolite hydroxyitraconazole account for less than 1% of an intravenous dose. Based on an oral radiolabeled dose, fecal excretion of unchanged drug ranges from 3% to 18% of the dose. As the re-distribution of itraconazole from keratinous tissues appears to be negligible, the elimination of itraconazole from these tissues is related to epidermal regeneration. Contrary to plasma, the concentration in skin persists for two to four weeks after discontinuation of a 4-week treatment and in nail keratin – where itraconazole can be detected as early as one week after the start of treatment – for at least six months after the end of a 3-month treatment period.5
- Half-life
The terminal half-life of itraconazole generally ranges from 16 to 28 hours after a single dose and increases to 34 to 42 hours with repeated dosing.5 The metabolite of itraconazole is excreted from the plasma more rapidly than the parent compound.1
- Clearance
The mean total plasma clearance following intravenous administration is 278 mL/min. Itraconazole clearance decreases at higher doses due to saturable hepatic metabolism.5

- Toxicity
In rats, the oral and intraperitoneal LD50 values were >320 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively.8
There is limited clinical information regarding itraconazole overdoses. Reported toxic trough levels are over 3 mcg/mL.1 Itraconazole is not removed by dialysis; thus, supportive measures should be initiated in the event of an overdose.5 There is no known antidote to itraconazole poisoning.1

- Exercise caution with grapefruit products. While there is inconclusive evidence of the effect of grapefruit products on the systemic exposure to itraconazole, they may affect drug absorption.
- Take with food. Food promotes maximal absorption of itraconazole.

- General Function
- Sterol 14alpha-demethylase that plays a critical role in the third module of ergosterol biosynthesis pathway, being ergosterol the major sterol component in fungal membranes that participates in a variety of functions (By similarity). The third module or late pathway involves the ergosterol synthesis itself through consecutive reactions that mainly occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (By similarity). In filamentous fungi, during the initial step of this module, lanosterol (lanosta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol) can be metabolized to eburicol (By similarity). Sterol 14alpha-demethylase catalyzes the three-step oxidative removal of the 14alpha-methyl group (C-32) of both these sterols in the form of formate, and converts eburicol and lanosterol to 14-demethyleburicol (4,4,24-trimethylergosta-8,14,24(28)-trienol) and 4,4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3beta-ol, respectively, which are further metabolized by other enzymes in the pathway to ergosterol (By similarity). Can also use substrates not intrinsic to fungi, such as 24,25-dihydrolanosterol (DHL), producing 4,4-dimethyl-8,14-cholestadien-3-beta-ol, but at lower rates than the endogenous substrates (By similarity).
