What does it do?

Posaconazole (unmodified) is classified as a triazole antifungal agent and is used in pharmaceuticals to treat various fungal infections. It is particularly effective against severe fungal infections that occur in patients with weakened immune systems.

Posaconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of the fungal cell membrane, thereby suppressing the growth and proliferation of fungi. As a result, the fungi are either killed or their proliferation is stopped, leading to the resolution of the infection.
