| The third generation of dithiocarbamate antifungal |
Liranaftate is a new king of third-generation dithiocarbamate antifungals , it is a new kind of the third category of chemicals,it belongs to squalene cyclooxygenase inhibitors, by inhibiting the fungal cell membrane squalene epoxidation reaction , it hinders the synthesis of ergosterol which is a constituent of cell membranes ,it plays the role of anti-fungal,its anti-fungal activity is 8 times of tolnaftate, and its dermatophytes effect is better than clotrimazole. It has a strong anti-fungal effect on skin filamentous fungi (Trichophyton,Microsporon, Epidermophyton) , it also shows antifungal activity on other filamentous fungi, dark fungi, dimorphic fungi.It is useful in the treatment of tinea capitis, ringworm, athlete's foot, tinea pedis, onychomycosis, tinea, jock itch, tinea versicolor and vulvovaginal candidiasis. |
| Toxicity |
Reproductive toxicity: in general reproductive toxicity tests, subcutaneous administration to SD rats , the largest non-toxic dose for the parent is 20mg/kg, the largest non-toxic dose for the reproductive process and their pups is 100mg/kg.
Genetic Toxicity: Liranaftate mutagenicity tests are negative.
In toxicity tests during teratogenic sensitively period , subcutaneous administration ,the largest non-toxic dose of maternal is 300mg/kg, the largest non-toxic dose to fetal rats is100mg/kg.
In perinatal toxicity tests, administer subcutaneously, the largest non-toxic dose for the mother and newborn pups is 30mg/kg.

| Synthesis method |
5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol reacts with thiophosgene to give the thio-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl chloroformate ester and 2-methoxy-6-methylamine pyridine, then react in isopropanol · water at room temperature for 2 hours to obtain liranaftate ,the overall yield is 70%. |
| Liranaftate cream |
Liranaftate cream is a relatively safe topical antifungal formulation . In mutagenicity studies we found that no matter in chromosome aberration tests, or in the bone marrow micronucleus tests, Liranaftate cream has no effect on inducing cell chromosome aberrations , and it has no effect on bone marrow cell proliferation. It is used for the treatment of ringworm, athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, tinea versicolor and vulvovaginal candidiasis.
