Abstract:
The in-vitro activities of two new miconazole and econazole salts (sulfosalicylic acid formulation) against 98 clinical isolates of dermatophytes were evaluated, in comparison to those of miconazole, miconazole nitrate, econazole and econazole nitrate. Miconazole sulfosalicylate and econazole sulfosalicylate exhibited good activity towards all the dermatophytes tested, although econazole and its derivatives were more efficacious than miconazole and its salts. The new imidazoles were equally effective in inhibiting the fungal growth with respect to miconazole, miconazole nitrate, econazole and econazole nitrate.
