Terbinafine |
Catalog No.GC17066 |
Terbinafine (TDT 067) is a novel allylamine antifungal agent and a potent noncompetitive squalene cyclooxygenase inhibitor (Ki value is 30 nM) that selectively inhibits squalene cyclooxygenase, leading to a decrease in ergosterol, which interferes with membrane function and cell growth.

Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Terbinafine (TDT 067) is a novel allylamine antifungal agent and a potent noncompetitive squalene cyclooxygenase inhibitor (Ki value is 30 nM) that selectively inhibits squalene cyclooxygenase, leading to a decrease in ergosterol, which interferes with membrane function and cell growth[1-2].
Terbinafine stimulates ROS production in HaCaT cells and induces a HaCaT Cytotoxic response with IC50 values of 12.5-25 μg/mL, and the Terbinafine group exhibited moderate cell rounding and cell shrinkage compared to untreated control and vector control[3]. Terbinafine (0, 30, 60 and 120 μM) concentration-dependently increased the activity of the p21 promoter in HUVEC and induced HUVEC cell cycle arrest by upregulating the p21 protein[4].
Terbinafine showed good antifungal activity against cutaneous fungal disease in guinea pigs caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes or Microsporum canis[5]. After oral administration of Terbinafine at a dose of 30 mg/kg, the maximum plasma levels in cats, greyhounds and red-tailed eagles were 3.22, 4.01 and 1.2 μg/ml, respectively. The differences in the half-life of Terbinafine were not significant in cats (8.01 h), greyhounds (8.6 h), and horses (8.1 h), whereas it was significantly prolonged in the red-tailed eagles (17.5 h) and the African penguins ( 17.0 h) were significantly prolonged[2].
