Ketoconazole is an antifungal used for its ability to inhibit the growth of various fungi. It belongs to the azole class of antifungals and works by disrupting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Without proper ergosterol production, the fungal cell membrane becomes weakened and permeable, leading to the death of the fungus.

Ketoconazole can be utilized to study the effects of inhibiting fungal growth and to explore potential antifungal treatments. Its mechanism of action and broad-spectrum antifungal activity make it a valuable tool in understanding fungal biology and developing strategies for controlling fungal infections.
