Terbinafine

Terbinafine (TDT 067) is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections. It is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of squalene epoxidase from Candida with a Ki of 30 nM.
Solid
Terbinafine is a tertiary amine that is N-methyl-1-naphthalenemethylamine in which the amino hydrogen is replaced by a 3-(tertbutylethynyl)allyl group. An antifungal agent administered orally (generally as the hydrochloride salt) for the treatment of skin and nail infections. It has a role as an EC 1.14.13.132 (squalene monooxygenase) inhibitor, a P450 inhibitor and a sterol biosynthesis inhibitor. It is a tertiary amine, an acetylenic compound, a member of naphthalenes, an enyne and an allylamine antifungal drug. It is a conjugate base of a terbinafine(1+).|Terbinafine hydrochloride (Lamisil) is a synthetic allylamine antifungal. It is highly lipophilic in nature and tends to accumulate in skin, nails, and fatty tissues. Like other allylamines, terbinafine inhibits ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting the fungal squalene monooxygenase (also called squalene epoxidase), an enzyme that is part of the fungal cell wall synthesis pathway. Terbinafine hydrochloride was granted FDA approval on 30 December 1992.|Terbinafine is an Allylamine Antifungal.|Terbinafine is an orally and topically active allylamine fungicidal agent which is used to treat superficial fungal infections of the skin and nails. Terbinafine has been clearly linked to rare instances of acute liver injury that can be severe and sometimes fatal.|Terbinafine is a synthetic allylamine derivative with antifungal activity. Terbinafine exerts its effect through inhibition of squalene epoxidase, thereby blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes. As a result, this agent disrupts fungal cell membrane synthesis and inhibits fungal growth.|A naphthalene derivative that inhibits fungal SQUALENE EPOXIDASE and is used to treat DERMATOMYCOSES of the skin and nails.
