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.
