For example, mice topically treated with the sterol synthesis inhibitor lovastatin have decreased epidermal sterol synthesis but increased fatty acid synthesis coincident with the development of an impaired permeability barrier [33].
Statins are inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), the key enzyme of the sterol synthesis pathway.

Its antifungal activity is achieved by preventing fungal membrane sterol synthesis through the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP -dependent lanosterol CYP -dependentase conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, resulting in an impairment of fungal cell replication.
The resistance of fungi was caused by multiple mechanisms including: 1) the mutation of the target protein encoding gene cyp51; 2) the over-expression of the target protein; 3) the up-regulation of transporting encoding genes such as MDR1, CDR1 and CDR2; 4) the mutation of sterol synthesis genes such as ERG3 which hindered the synthesis of sterol which is an essential component of membrane.
