Description

Tetramethylbutylamine is a chemical compound that can be synthesized by reacting sodium hydroxide with an amine. It is used in clinical settings as a topical treatment for fungal infections such as tinea pedis, tinea manuum, and tinea cruris. Tetramethylbutylamine binds to the hydroxyl group of cholesterol and reacts with the chloride ion to form a monocarboxylic acid. This reaction prevents the synthesis of cholesterol and leads to the death of fungus cells. Tetramethylbutylamine has been shown to have activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, a type of fungus that causes athlete's foot.
