    In Vitro

    Terbinafine has a primary fungicidal action in vitro against most fungal pathogens, including dermatophytes, and dimorphic and filamentous fungi. Terbinafine specifically inhibits fungal ergosterol biosynthesis at the point of squalene epoxidation. The treated fungal cells rapidly accumulate tlic intermediate squalene[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Terbinafine is not only active after topical application but is very effective in experimental dermatophytoses following oral administration. In fungi infected guinea-pigs, the skin temperature dropps dramatically after the fourth treatment of terbinafine[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.58 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (8.58 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Guinea-pigs: The backs (lumbar regions) of guinea-pigs, which have been mechanically depilated, are infected with 0.1 mL Sabouraud's dextrose 2% broth containing 106 c.f.u. of Truhophyton mentagrophytes. The treatments commence 48 h post-inoculation. The test compounds (Terbinafine) are suspended in 2% tylose and Tween 80 and administered via a stomach tube once daily on 9 consecutive days, or dissolved in a mixture of polyethylene glycol 400 and etbanol and spread on the infected part ot the body in a volume of 0.4 mL with a Hrigalski spatula once daily for 1-7 consecutive days[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
