👉 Patricides are a group of antifungals that belong to the class of sulphonamides. They act by inhibiting the synthesis of a key enzyme involved in fungal cell wall biosynthesis. This process is essential for fungal growth and development, and inhibition of this enzyme can lead to the formation of extracellular fungal spores. Patricides are commonly used in antifungal treatments due to their broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of fungal infections.
