Luliconazole demonstrates potent in vitro activity against dermatophytes recovered from patients with onychomycosis.

ABSTRACT: The in vitro activities of luliconazole, amorolfine, ciclopirox, and terbinafine were determined against 320 dermatophyte isolates from large toenails of onychomycosis patients enrolled into an ongoing phase 2b/3 clinical study. The geometric mean MIC for luliconazole was 0.00022 μg/ml against all isolates, compared to 0.0194 to 0.3107 μg/ml for the three other agents. The in vitro potency of luliconazole was maintained regardless of the dermatophyte species.
