Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/international/flutrimazole.html | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8569815 | https://www.old.health.gov.il/units/pharmacy/trufot/alonim/197.pdf | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21718579

Flutrimazole (trade names Flusporan, Funcenal, Micetal, Topiderm) is an imidazole derivative, a wide-spectrum antifungal drug used for the topical treatment of superficial mycoses of the skin. Flutrimazole interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme lanosterol 14 α-demethylase. Flutrimazole’s antifungal activity has been demonstrated in in vivo and in vitro studies to be comparable to that of clotrimazole and higher than bifonazole. During clinical trials the incidence of adverse reactions in relation to the use of Flutrimazole skin cream was 8%, being the most frequent those described as slight burning, irritation, itching, and erythema in the area of application.

In Vitro Use Guide

A total of 23 M. furfur isolates were tested for susceptibility to the various azole antifungal agents in vitro. The isolates all came originally from clinical samples and had been maintained at – 70 C with glycerol as cryoprotectant. Inocula were prepared as 4-day static cultures in Dixon broth incubated at 37 C. The suspensions were diluted with sterile water so that a l0-fold dilution gave an OD of 0.1 at 530 nm. A 25-loop multiple inoculating device was used to place volumes of approximately 30 mkl on the test media (Flutrimazole). The cultures were incubated at 37 C for 4 days and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were recorded as the lowest concentrations at which no growth of M. furfur was visible.
