Ofloxacin binds to the enzyme dNA gyrase and thus blocks the dNA replication mediated by dNA gyrase. also, it prevents the supercoiling of the dNA.
Ornidazole reduces to nitro group and produces toxic derivatives or free radicals. these free radicals exert antibacterial action.
Terbinafine inhibits the enzyme squalene monoxidase which further inhibits the conversion of squalene because squalene involves in the synthesis of fungal cell wall.
Clobetasol propionate leads to the activation of the glucocorticoid receptors and then the activated receptors mediate gene expression.
