Gris. MoA = ? | * Inhibits Microtubules, thus inhibiting cell mitosis |
-Azoles MoA = ? | * one step down from the MoA of Terbin.. * They inhibit Lanosterol from being turned in to Ergosterol (which causes the cell membrane to weaken bc cholesterol is not made) |
Toxicity associated with Amp. B = ? | * Renal |
