Ciclopirox

A broad-spectrum antifungal of the hydroxypyridone family, introduced in West Germany around 1980 for skin mycoses; in 1999 its nail lacquer was approved in the United States for onychomycosis. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites and labelled standards.

Did you know?It does not work like the azoles: it binds trivalent metal ions such as iron and aluminium, depriving the enzymes the fungus uses to break down peroxides of the metal they need.
