| Application: | Naftifine is a synthetic, broad spectrum, antifungal agent and allylamine derivative. It is used topically to treat superficial dermatomycoses such as tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Allylamine compound that has antifungal and antimycotic activities. Naftifine inhibits fungal squalene epoxidase and prevents ergosterol biosynthesis. Naftifine also has antibiotic activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Naftifine is an allylamine compound that has antifungal and antimycotic activities. Naftifine inhibits fungal squalene epoxidase and prevents ergosterol biosynthesis. Naftifine also has antibiotic activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties such as a reduction in superoxide production and a reduction in polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis/endothelial adhesion. Naftifine appears to interfere with sterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the squalene 2,3-epoxidase. This inhibition results in decreased amounts of ergosterol and an accumulation of squalene in the cells. |
