Bioactivity | Terbinafine hydrochloride (TDT 067 hydrochloride) is an orally active and potent antifungal agent. Terbinafine hydrochloride is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of squalene epoxidase from Candida, with a Ki of 30 nM. Terbinafine hydrochloride also shows antibacterial activity against certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Terbinafine has a primary fungicidal action in vitro against most fungal pathogens, including dermatophytes, and dimorphic and filamentous fungi. Terbinafine specifically inhibits fungal ergosterol biosynthesis at the point of squalene epoxidation. The treated fungal cells rapidly accumulate tlic intermediate squalene and become deficient in the end-product of the pathway, ergosterol[1]. |
