Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Diflucan (fluconazole) inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase (CYP51), blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts membrane integrity and function, leading to fungal cell death. At high concentrations, it may also directly damage fungal membranes.
c-Met/ALK inhibitor; inhibits receptor tyrosine kinases MET and ALK, blocking downstream signaling pathways including PI3K/AKT and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK, leading to reduced tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
200 mg IV loading dose, then 100-200 mg IV once daily; for invasive candidiasis, 800 mg IV loading dose then 400 mg IV once daily.
50 mg orally twice daily without regard to meals.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 30 hours (range 20-50 hours) in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 98 hours in end-stage renal disease, requiring dose adjustment.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12 hours (range 10–14 hours) in adults with normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 24–30 hours).
Approximately 80% of the dose is excreted unchanged in urine via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; about 11% is excreted as metabolites in urine; fecal excretion accounts for less than 5%.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (~60%) and metabolites (~30%); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for ~10%.
