In Vitro Antifungal Activity of Novel Triazole Efinaconazole and Five Comparators Against Dermatophyte Isolates [PublishAheadOfPrint]

The objective was to assess the in vitro activity of the novel triazole antifungal drug, efinaconazole, and five comparators (luliconazole, lanoconazole, terbinafine, itraconazole and fluconazole) against a large collection of Trichophyton interdigitale and Trichophyton rubrum clinical isolates. The geometric mean MICs were the lowest for luliconazole (0.0005 μg/mL), followed by lanoconazole (0.002 μg/mL), efinaconazole (0.007 μg/mL), terbinafine (0.011 μg/mL), itraconazole (0.095 μg/mL) and fluconazole (12.77 μg/mL). It appears that efinaconazole, lanoconazole and luliconazole are promising candidates for the treatment of dermatophytosis due to T. interdigitale and T. rubrum.
