Description

Clotrimazole CAS NO 23593-75-1 is a synthetic antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class, widely recognized for its broad-spectrum activity against pathogenic yeasts and dermatophytes. Its primary value lies in its efficacy and stability, making it a cornerstone active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for topical and pharmaceutical formulations. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and veterinary industries requiring a reliable and well-characterized antifungal component.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Primary API in topical creams, ointments, lotions, and powders for treating fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and candidiasis.
• Over-the-Counter (OTC) Products: Key ingredient in antifungal sprays, gels, and medicated soaps available in consumer healthcare markets.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in topical preparations to treat fungal infections in animals.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Incorporated into specialized products like antifungal foot care powders and medicated shampoos.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in microbiological research and the development of new antifungal agents.
