Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics
Topical antifungal drug with a wide spectrum of antifungal activity.
In low concentrations, terbinafine has fungicidal activity against dermatophytes (Trychophyton rubrum, Trychophyton mentagrophytes, Trychophyton verrucosum, Trychophyton violaceum, Trychophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton fungus species).
Yeast activity is fungicidal or fungistatic, depending on the type of fungus.
Terbinafine, by inhibiting squalene epoxidase in the cell membrane of the fungus, specifically inhibits the early stage of sterol synthesis in the fungal cell,
which leads to ergosterol deficiency, intracellular accumulation of squalene and death of the fungal cell.
Squalene epoxidase is not associated with the cytochrome P450 system, so terbinafine does not affect the metabolism of hormones and drugs, whose metabolism is associated with the cytochrome P450 system.
