How It Works

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit; Clotrimazole inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting 14ฮฑ-demethylase

Mechanism Steps

1Clindamycin binds to 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, inhibiting peptide bond formation and protein synthesis
2Clotrimazole inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14ฮฑ-demethylase, blocking conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol
3Ergosterol depletion disrupts fungal cell membrane integrity, leading to cell death
