DIFLUCAN vs MYIDYL
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Diflucan (fluconazole) is a triazole antifungal agent that inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 14-alpha-demethylase, thereby blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to increased membrane permeability and inhibition of fungal growth.
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.
Oral or IV: 200-400 mg loading dose, then 100-200 mg once daily. Dose and duration depend on indication.
50 mg orally twice daily without regard to meals.

30 hours (range 20-50 hours); prolonged in renal impairment (up to 98 hours in CrCl <20 mL/min)
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).
Renal: 80% unchanged; fecal/biliary: 11% as metabolites
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (~60%) and metabolites (~30%); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for ~10%.
