Naftifine N-Oxide

CAS: 2847776-03-6

Naftifine N-Oxide is an antifungal agent, which is derived from synthetic chemical processes. Its structure is based on the modification of the known antifungal, naftifine, by introducing an N-oxide functional group, which may enhance certain pharmacokinetic properties. As a synthetic derivative, Naftifine N-Oxide is specifically designed to interfere with the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. By inhibiting squalene epoxidase, an enzyme crucial to the ergosterol pathway, Naftifine N-Oxide effectively disrupts the development and maintenance of the fungal cell membrane, compromising cell integrity and leading to antifungal activity.
