Description

Eberconazole is an antifungal drug with broad antimicrobial spectrum of activity. The drug was developed and approved in Spain (Ebernet 1% cream) for the treatment of tinea. Eberconazole exerts fungicidal or fungistatic activity depending on concentration, being fungicidal at higher concentration and fungistatic at lower concentrations. Eberconazole prevents fungal growth by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, an essential component of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane leading to structural and functional changes. It prevents the fungal ergosterol synthesis by inhibiting lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase enzyme that is responsible for the formation of 14 alpha-methylsterols (precursor of ergosterols).

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Eberconazole (Ebernet 1% cream) should be applied twice a day for 4 weeks. The cream should be applied in sufficient quantity to cover the lesion and surroundings, and should be distributed with the aid of a light massage.

Route of Administration: Topical

In Vitro Use Guide

Antifungal activity of eberconazole was tested against 200 strains of dermatophytes. The MIC50 values were 0.06 ug/ml (E. floccosum, M. audouinii, M. canis, M. gypseum, T. ajelloi, T. violaceum), 0.03 ug/ml (M. ferrugineum, M. fulvum, T. balcaneum), 0.25 ug/ml (T. erinacei), 0.125 ug/ml (T. interdigitale, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, T. simii, T. tonsurans).
