应用 |
It is used to study the mechanism of ergosterol (sterol) biosynthesis at the rate-limiting step of squalene epoxidase inhibition. Tolnaftate is clinically used to treat cutaneous infections such as athlete′s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It also has been used as a comparator compound for antifungal efficiency studies. |
