Terbinafine lactate
Based on 18 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Terbinafine lactate (TDT 067 lactate) is an orally active and potent antifungal agent. Terbinafine lactate is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of squalene epoxidase from Candida, with a Ki of 30 nM. Terbinafine lactate also shows antibacterial activity against certain Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Terbinafine (lactate) is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

Biological Activity
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 and become deficient in the end-product of the pathway, ergosterol[1].
