SEBOMINE LIQUID 60ML

Ciclopirox olamine, the active ingredient in Ciclopirox Olamine Liquid, primarily exerts its antifungal effect by disrupting essential cellular processes in fungi. It interferes with the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell wall. This disruption leads to impaired membrane integrity and function, ultimately causing the leakage of cellular components and the death of the fungal cells. Additionally, ciclopirox olamine may interfere with fungal enzyme systems and DNA synthesis, further contributing to its antifungal activity. Its mechanism of action selectively targets fungal cells, making it effective against a range of dermatophytes and certain yeasts, while minimizing adverse effects on human cells.
