The use of hydration and solvatation free enthalpies (DeltaG(h), DeltaG(s)) as parameters describing water solubility and permeability of drugs was proved to be suitable quantities. The free enthalpies of hydration and solvation by water and chlorobenzene molecules at the Hartree-Fock (6-31G*) level applying PCM model were calculated for oxyconazole and tioconazole. The oxyconazole and tioconazole differ in water and chlorobenzene solubility, what is reflected in calculated DeltaG values and electrostatic potential. These characteristics discriminate both compounds with respect to water solubility and permeability. It may be concluded that the DeltaG values of hydration and solvation adequately reflect the water solubility and permeability of oxyconazole and tioconazole.

We studied the in vitro antifungal activity profile of amorolfine (AMR), bifonazole (BFZ), clotrimazole (CLZ), econazole (ECZ), fluconazole (FNZ), itraconazole (ITZ), ketoconazole (KTZ), miconazole (MNZ), oxiconazole (OXZ), tioconazole (TCZ) and terbinafine (TRB) against 26 clinical isolates of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis from patients with onychomycosis by means of an standardized microdilution method. Although this opportunistic filamentous fungi was reported as resistant to several broad-spectrum antifungals agents, obtained data shows a better fungistatic in vitro activity of AMR, OXZ and TRB (0.08, 0.

Background: Dermatophytes can be divided into geophilic (soil), zoophilic (animals) and anthropophilic (humans) strains, depending on the source of the keratin that they use for nutritional purposes.

Aims: The in vitro susceptibility of clinical isolates of dermatophyte fungi has been studied in the 3 ecological groups with several antifungal agents for the topical management of dermatophytoses in order to determine their relationship with the ecological group.

Methods: A standardised dilution micromethod in a liquid medium was used for the determination of the in vitro antifungal activity of 9 topical antifungal drugs: amorolfine (AMR), bifonazole (BFZ), clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, terbinafine (TRB) and tioconazole.

Antifungal activity and in vitro inhibition time for sertaconazole (STZ) and 9 other topical drugs, namely amorolfine, bifonazole, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, terbinafine, and tioconazole were determined against 124 clinical isolates of dermatophyte (12 species) fungi by the microdilution method in a liquid medium and the measurement of optical density. STZ's antifungal activity was not always affected by the tested dermatophyte genus, as was the case with the remaining antifungals. In vitro antifungal activity was at the same level for all the studied azole derivatives, but, in terms of partial inhibitory concentrations, STZ starts its in vitro inhibitory activity in a shorter time than the other tested substances, particularly in those incubation periods when the growth of the dermatophyte fungi was more developed.

Contact sensitization to azole antimycotics is rare, even though they are widely used. We present the case of a man who developed allergic contact dermatitis due to topical application of a variety of antimycotics. Patch testing revealed positive reactions to clotrimazole, croconazole, oxiconazole and tioconazole.
