Econazole Nitrate NEW

Functions

Econazole nitrate is the nitrate salt form of Econazole.   Econazole nitrate is mainly used for the treatment of skin

 infections including athlete's foot, tinea, pityriasis versicolor, ringworm, and jock itch caused by fungi such as 

Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum audouini.  As an imidazole-class drug, Econazole

 nitrate takes effects through inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membrane, 

thus disrupting the normal permeability of fungal membrane.  This causes leakage of essential cellular contents of

 fungi, further killing them.
