Butenafine hydrochloride Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Butenafine hydrochloride is a new benzylamine antifungal which appears to block the
squalene epoxidation step of sterol synthesis in fungi. Active against a broad spectrum
of fungi, butenafine hydrochloride is more effective in a guinea-pig model of tinea
pedis than clotrimazole, naftifine and tolnaftate. Its efficacy is partially attributed to its
long retention time in the skin.
