Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Naftifine is an allylamine antifungal drug for the topical treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis (fungal infections). Its precise mechanism of action is unknown, but may involve selectively blocking sterol biosynthesis via inhibition of the squalene 2,3-epoxidase enzyme. The half-life is approximately 2–3 days. The metabolites are excreted in the urine and feces.

Product Data
Biological target:
Naftifine hydrochloride is an antibiotic.
In vitro activity:
Naftifine exhibits an interesting in vitro spectrum of activity against dermatophytes (38 strains; minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC] range 0.1 to 0.2 microgram/ml), aspergilli (6 strains; MIC range, 0.8 to 12.5 microgram/ml), Sporothrix schenckii (2 strains; MICs, 0.8 and 1.5 microgram/ml), and yeasts of the genus Candida (77 strains; MIC range, 1.5 to greater than 100 microgram/ml). Its degree of efficacy is unaffected by the organism density in the test medium, and it is primarily fungicidal against dermatophytes as well as yeasts. Its in vitro efficacy is pH dependent and rises with increasing pH values. Reference: Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1981 Mar;19(3):386-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7247366/
In vivo activity:
Naftifine, a new antifungal agent belonging chemically to the allylamines, was tested for its in vivo activity after topical application against guinea pig skin infections caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. mentagrophytes var. quinckeanum, or Microsporum racemosum. Compared with standard compounds, naftifine proved to be highly effective mycologically and clinically after topical application in the above models.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
