Antifungal activity of fenticonazole in experimental dermatomycosis and candidiasis
Abstract:
The antifungal activity of alpha-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-beta,N-imidazolylethyl 4-phenylthiobenzyl ether nitrate (fenticonazole, Rec 15/1476) in experimental dermatomycosis and candidiasis in guinea pigs was studied. Fenticonazole proved to be a very active drug with a healing capacity generally higher than that of the reference compounds. The adequate range of activity was from 1% to 3%, giving complete healing without relapses in 100% of cases treated. Fenticonazole is presently undergoing further experimental studies and on the basis of our results a clinical trial would therefore seem to be essential.
