Targets |
Inhibits sterol biosynthesis by targeting squalene epoxidase, leading to ergosterol depletion and accumulation of squalene in fungal cells [2]
|
---|---|
ln Vitro |
Exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity against dermatophytes (MIC range 0.001–0.1 µg/mL) and some yeasts (MIC 12.5–>100 µg/mL). Higher activity against molds than azoles [1]
Inhibited C. albicans growth dose-dependently (MIC ³25 µg/mL) and blocked sterol biosynthesis at 0.1–10 µg/mL, causing squalene accumulation and ergosterol depletion [2] |
ln Vivo |
At week 4, 25 percent of naftifine-treated subjects achieved complete cure vs. three percent of vehicle subjects and 72 percent achieved mycological cure vs. 16 percent of vehicle treated subjects (one-sided, P<0.001). Treatment effectiveness was achieved in 60 percent of NAFT-2% subjects vs. 10 percent of vehicle subjects (one-sided, P<0.001). Clinical cure rate and clinical success rate were 33 percent and 84 percent in NAFT-2% subjects, respectively vs. 10 percent and 46 percent in vehicle subjects (both P is less than 0.001, 2-sided). Week 2 efficacy response rates in NAFT-2% subjects were all lower than at week 4 but were significantly higher than week 2 vehicle-treated counterparts (P<0.025). Treatment-related AE occurred in 11 subjects (7 NAFT-2%, 4 vehicle) during the study. The most common AE in both groups were contact dermatitis (2 NAFT-2%), pruritus (2 vehicle), and application site reaction (1 per group).
Conclusion: NAFT-2% applied once daily for two weeks (one-half the treatment duration for naftifine 1% cream) is efficacious and safe for the treatment of T. cruris.

Enzyme Assay |
Sterol biosynthesis measured in C. albicans cultures incubated with radiolabeled [²H]acetate. Lipids extracted, saponified, and analyzed by TLC and radio-scanning. Naftifine (0.1–10 µg/mL) caused squalene accumulation and reduced ergosterol synthesis [2]
|
Cell Assay |
Antifungal susceptibility testing using broth microdilution (Sabouraud dextrose broth) for dermatophytes/yeasts. Incubated at 30°C for 48h (yeasts) or 7d (dermatophytes). MIC defined as 80% growth inhibition [1]
C. albicans growth inhibition assessed via turbidimetry after 24h incubation with naftifine (0.1–100 µg/mL) in glucose-yeast extract broth [2] |
Animal Protocol |
A total of 334 subjects with T. cruris were enrolled and randomly assigned to NAFT-2% (n=166) or vehicle (n=168), which was applied once daily for 14 days. Efficacy and safety were evaluated at week 2 (end of treatment) and week 4. Efficacy measures included complete cure, treatment effectiveness, mycological cure, clinical cure, and clinical success and were analyzed only in subjects with a positive potassium hydroxide (KOH) and dermatophyte culture at baseline (n=75, naftifine; n=71, vehicle). Safety was assessed by adverse events and changes from baseline in clinical status and laboratory studies.[3]

ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following single topical applications of 3H-labeled naftifine gel 1% to the skin of healthy subjects, up to 4.2% of the applied dose was absorbed. Naftifine and/or its metabolites are excreted via the urine and feces with a half-life of approximately two to three days. Biological Half-Life Approximately 2 to 3 days following topical administration. |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Topical naftifine has not been studied during breastfeeding. Because only 4 to 6% is absorbed after topical application, it is considered a low risk to the nursing infant.[1] Avoid application to the nipple area and ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated. Only water-miscible cream, gel or liquid products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[2] ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. |

Additional Infomation |
Naftifine is a tertiary amine in which the nitrogen is substituted by methyl, alpha-naphthylmethyl, and (1E)-cinnamyl groups. It is used (usually as its hydrochloride salt) for the treatment of fungal skin infections. It has a role as an EC 1.14.13.132 (squalene monooxygenase) inhibitor and a sterol biosynthesis inhibitor. It is a member of naphthalenes, a tertiary amine and an allylamine antifungal drug.
Naftifine is a synthetic, broad spectrum, antifungal agent and allylamine derivative for the topical treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by the organisms Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans and Epidermophyton floccosum. Naftifine is an Allylamine Antifungal. Naftifine is a topical, synthetic allylamine derivate similar to terbinafine with broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Naftifine can be fungicidal or fungistatic depending on the concentration and the organisms involved. See also: Naftifine Hydrochloride (has salt form). Drug Indication For the topical treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by the organisms Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans and Epidermophyton floccosum. Mechanism of Action Although the exact mechanism of action against fungi is not known, naftifine appears to interfere with sterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzyme squalene 2,3-epoxidase. This inhibition of enzyme activity results in decreased amounts of sterols, especially ergosterol, and a corresponding accumulation of squalene in the cells. Pharmacodynamics Naftifine is a synthetic, broad spectrum, antifungal agent and allylamine derivative. The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. Naftifine has been shown to exhibit fungicidal activity in vitro against a broad spectrum of organisms including Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton tonsurans, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Microsporum canis, Microsporum audouini, and Microsporum gypseum; and fungistatic activity against Candida species including Candida albicans. However it is only used to treat the organisms listed in the indications. |
