Description

Enilconazole is a synthetic broad-spectrum antimycotic with a high activity against most of the common dermatophytes and various other fungi and yeasts. It is a selective inhibitor of ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of the cell membrane of fungi and yeasts. This results in irreversible changes which are the origin of the fungicidal effect. Enilconazole is marketed under the brand name Imaverol among others. Imaverol concentrated solution is a synthetic antimycotic with a potent antifungal action against dermatophytes such as: Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton equinum, and Microsporum canis in horses and dogs.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The concentrated Imaverol (Enilconazole) is diluted in 50 parts of lukewarm water, which yields a 0.2% emulsion. Dispose of all unused diluted solutions. Dermatophytes will extend into the hair follicles. Possible crusts must therefore be removed with a hard brush, which has been soaked in the diluted IMAVEROL emulsion. It is highly recommended that the animal be sprayed entirely at the first treatment so as to reach the subclinical lesions as well. Horse: The lesions and surrounding skin are to be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3 to 4 day intervals. Dog: The animals are to be washed with the diluted emulsion 4 times at 3 to 4 day intervals. While doing this, one should rub thoroughly in the direction opposite to the hair growth to make sure that the skin is thoroughly wet. For the same reason, it is recommended to clip long-haired dogs prior to treatment.
Route of Administration: Topical
In Vitro Use Guide
A. niger strains were most susceptible to enilconazole. MIC ranged from 0.0625 to 0.5 ug/ml for enilconazole, with MIC90-0.5 ug/ml and MIC50-0.125 ug/ml.
