Omoconazole
Omoconazole is an imidazole-derived azole antifungal agent. Omoconazole exhibits broad-spectrum in vitro activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and dimorphic fungi, exerting fungistatic effects at low concentrations and fungicidal effects at high concentrations. Omoconazole accumulates in the skin, binds to keratin, and is slowly transferred from the stratum corneum to the viable epidermis. Omoconazole inhibits the growth of dermatophytes, impairs daughter cell separation in Candida albicans, induces cell wall thickening, disrupts intracellular cytoplasmic organelles, and leads to cell death. Omoconazole is used in studies related to dermatophytosis and superficial fungal infections.

-
Dosage:0.25% cream; 0.5% cream; 1.0% cream; 2.0% cream
-
Administration:topical; once daily; 14 days
-
Result:Significantly reduced lesional symptoms starting on days 8-10 post-infection with all tested concentrations.
Achieved almost complete symptomatological cure with 1.0% and 2.0% creams by the end of 14-day treatment.
Resulted in a mean of 8.3 culture-positive skin blocks in 0.25% cream-treated animals.
Resulted in a mean of 1.5 culture-positive skin blocks in 0.5% cream-treated animals.
Resulted in 0 culture-positive skin blocks in 1.0% and 2.0% cream-treated animals, indicating complete inhibition of fungal growth.
