Specifications
| SKU | 0215693401 |
| Alternate Names | Methyl-[3-methylphenyl]-carbamothioic acid O-2-naphthyl ester; Carbamothioic acid |
| Application Notes | Tolfanate is an antifungal compound which has activity against such species as Epidermophyton, Microsporum, Trichophyton species, and Malassezia furfur. It is used to study the mechanism of ergosterol (sterol) biosynthesis at the rate-limiting step of squalene epoxidase inhibition. Tolnaftate is clinically used to treat cutaneous infections such as athlete′s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It also has been used as a comparator compound for antifungal efficiency studies. |
| Base Catalog Number | 15693401 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | Tolnaftate prevents ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibiting squalene epoxidase. It has also been reported to distort the hyphae and to stunt mycelial growth in susceptible organisms. Tolnaftate inhibits biosynthesis of aflatoxin. |
