CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MICROBIOLOGY
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action of ciclopirox has been investigated using
various _in vitro_ and _in vivo_ infection
models. One _in vitro_ study suggested that ciclopirox acts by
chelation of polyvalent cations (Fe
or
Al
) resulting in the inhibition of the metal-dependent enzymes that are
responsible for the degradation
of peroxides within the fungal cell. The clinical significance of this
observation is not known.
Activity _in vitro_ and _ex vivo_
_In vitro_ methodologies employing various broth or solid media with
and without additional nutrients
have been utilized to determine ciclopirox minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) values for the
dermatophytic molds.
As a consequence, a broad range of MIC values, 1-20 mcg/mL, were
obtained
for _Trichophyton rubrum_ and _Trichophyton mentagrophytes_ species.
