Pharmacological action
Antifungal drug for external use, having a wide spectrum of antifungal activity. In small concentrations, terbinafine has a fungicidal effect against dermatophytes (Trychophyton rubrum, Trychophyton mentagrophytes, Trychophyton verrucosum, Trychophyton violaceum, Trychophyton tonsurans, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum), mold (mainly Candida albicoricum fungi) and fungi.
Activity against yeast fungi, depending on their type, can be fungicidal or fungistatic.
Terbinafine specifically modifies the early stage of sterol biosynthesis in fungi. This leads to a deficiency of ergosterol and to intracellular accumulation of squalene, which causes the death of the fungal cell.
The action of terbinafine is carried out by inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, located on the cell membrane of the fungus.
Terbinafine does not affect the human cytochrome P450 system and, accordingly, the metabolism of hormones or other drugs.
