Product Description
Oxiconazole (Ro 13-8996) nitrate is a broad spectrum (a wide range) antifungal compound/agent that suppresses the growth of Candida, Aspergillus and Trichophyton fungi. Oxiconazole nitrate is also a highly efficient transactivator of CYP3A4 and can compete with rifampicin (Rifampicin). Oxiconazole nitrate inhibits colorectal cancer through peroxidase 2 (PRDX2)-mediated arrest of autophagy.
Oxiconazole nitrate is an antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class of compounds. It is used topically for the treatment of fungal skin infections, including tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea versicolor. Oxiconazole nitrate is also effective against some Gram-positive bacteria. It is available as a cream, lotion, and powder.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Oxiconazole nitrate is the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), which is involved in ergosterol biosynthesis. By inhibiting this enzyme, oxiconazole prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to membrane destabilization and fungal cell death. The compound also has antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive bacteria.
ln Vitro
Oxyconazole (24 hours; 0-40 μM) suppresses the development of CRC cells [3]. Trichophyton, Aspergillus, and Candida are susceptible to the antifungal effects of oxyconazole [1]. Oxyconazole's antifungal activity [1]. Candida albicans Candida pneumonia Porphyromonas fumigatus Aspergillus flavus Mentagrophytes Trichophyton Rubrum Trichophyton oxyconazole A 0.03 μg/mL, a 0.01 μg/mL, and a 0.008 μg/mL, two μg/mL, two μg/mL, and two μg/mL
In vitro, oxiconazole nitrate has been shown to have antifungal activity against a range of dermatophytes and yeasts. It is effective against Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Malassezia furfur. In vitro susceptibility testing, such as broth microdilution, is used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for various fungal isolates.
ln Vivo
For 12 days, oxyconazole (50 mg/kg/day; IP) dramatically reduces the development of colorectal cancer cells [3].
In vivo, oxiconazole nitrate is effective in treating fungal skin infections. It is applied topically once or twice daily for 2-4 weeks, depending on the condition. The compound is well-tolerated and has low systemic absorption. It provides symptomatic relief and eradication of the fungal infection.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme or receptor binding (non-cell) assays for oxiconazole nitrate involve measuring its inhibition of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) activity. The assay uses a purified fungal CYP51 enzyme and a substrate, such as lanosterol. The production of ergosterol is measured using chromatographic methods. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and substrate at varying concentrations, and the IC50 is determined.
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[3]
Cell Types: HCT116, SW480, RKO, DLD-1, SW620, LoVo and NCM460
Tested Concentrations: 0-40 μM

In vitro cell-based assays for oxiconazole nitrate are performed using fungal cultures. The fungus is grown in the presence of the compound, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is determined. Time-kill studies can also be performed to assess the fungicidal activity. These assays confirm the compound's antifungal activity.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: BALB/c nude mice (subcutaneous injection of HCT116 cells (1×107/mouse) [3]
Doses: 50 mg/kg/day
Route of Administration: IP; 12 days.
Experimental Results: Dramatically inhibited CRC cell growth, and No obvious side effects.
In vivo animal experiments for oxiconazole nitrate are conducted using animal models of fungal skin infection, such as guinea pig models of dermatophytosis. The compound is applied topically, and its efficacy is evaluated by measuring the reduction in fungal load and the improvement in skin lesions.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of oxiconazole nitrate indicate that it is minimally absorbed through the skin after topical application. The compound has a molecular weight of 429.13 and a molecular formula of C18H15Cl4N3O·HNO3. It is a solid at room temperature. The compound is metabolized in the liver and excreted renally. Systemic exposure is low due to minimal absorption.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology (toxicology) data for oxiconazole nitrate indicate that it is generally well-tolerated when used topically. Common side effects include skin irritation, redness, and itching at the application site. The compound should be used with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to imidazole antifungals.

Additional Infomation
Oxiconazole nitrate is an organic nitrate produced by the reaction of equimolar amounts of oxiconazole and nitric acid. It is an antifungal agent used in creams and powders to treat fungal skin infections. It has anti-infective activity. It is an organic nitrate belonging to the oxiconazole and imidazole classes of antifungal drugs. It contains an oxiconazole (1+) ligand. Oxiconazole nitrate is the nitrate form of oxiconazole, a broad-spectrum imidazole derivative with antifungal activity. Although its exact mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, like other azole antifungal drugs, oxiconazole likely inhibits cytochrome P450-dependent lanosterol demethylation. This prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the synthesis and integrity of fungal cell membranes, oxiconazole alters the permeability of fungal cell membranes, promoting the loss of essential intracellular components and ultimately inhibiting fungal cell growth. See also: Oxiconazole (with active moiety).
Other information: Oxiconazole nitrate is a topical antifungal agent used for the treatment of fungal skin infections. It is also known as Oxiconazole. The compound is available as a cream, lotion, and powder. Its CAS number is 64211-46-7.
