Product Information

• Name: (Z)-Naftifine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (Z)-Naftifine is an antifungal agent, which is a synthetic compound with a unique chemical structure. This compound is derived through chemical synthesis, rather than being isolated from natural sources. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase, a crucial component in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential sterol in fungal cell membranes. This inhibition leads to a deficit in ergosterol, disrupting cell membrane integrity and ultimately causing fungal cell death.
