Pharmacodynamics
/p>
Naftifin is an antifungal agent for external use, belonging to the class of allilamines. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of squalene-2,3-epoxidase, which leads to a decrease in the formation of ergosterol, which is part of the cell wall of the fungus. It is active against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum, molds (Aspergillus spp.), yeasts (Candida spp., Pityrosporum) and other fungi (such as Sporothrix schenckii). Against dermatophytes and aspergillus naphthifin acts fungicidal. Against yeast fungi the drug exhibits fungicidal or fungistatic activity depending on the strain of the microorganism. It has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms that can cause secondary bacterial infections. It has anti-inflammatory action, which contributes to the rapid disappearance of symptoms of inflammation, especially itching.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied externally, naphthifin quickly penetrates the skin, creating sustained antifungal concentrations in its various layers, making once-daily use possible.
