Pharmacodynamics :

Naftifine is an antifungal agent for external use belonging to the class of allylamines. The mechanism of action is associated with the inhibition of squalene-23-epoxidase, which leads to a decrease in the formation of ergosterol, which is part of the cell wall of the fungus.

Active against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton Epidermophyton Microsporum mold fungi (Aspergillus spp. ) yeast fungi (Candida spp. Pityrosporum) and other fungi (e. g. Sporothrix schenckii).

Naftifine acts as a fungicide against dermatophytes and aspergillus.

With respect to yeast fungi, Naftifine exhibits fungicidal or fungistatic activity, depending on the strain of the microorganism.

It has antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms that can cause secondary bacterial infections.

It has an anti-inflammatory effect that contributes to the rapid disappearance of symptoms of inflammation, especially itching.

Pharmacokinetics:

When applied externally, Naftifine penetrates well into the skin, creating stable antifungal concentrations in its various layers, which makes it possible to use it once a day.
