    Product Description

    Terbinafine is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that has activity against T. rubrum, T. metagrophytes, T. verrucosum, E. floccosum, M. canis, A. fumigatus, and S. schenckii (MIC50s = 0.003-0.8 μg/ml).1 It selectively inhibits C. albicans squalene epoxidase over rat liver epoxidase (IC50s = 0.03 and 77 µM, respectively).2 Terbinafine (90-120 µM) induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in COLO 205 tumor cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).3,4 Formulations containing terbinafine have been used in the treatment of nail and skin fungal infections.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
