Description

Econazole Nitrate CAS NO 24169-02-6 is a synthetic imidazole derivative widely recognized for its potent antifungal and antimicrobial properties. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) essential for formulating effective topical and systemic antifungal treatments. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and veterinary product developers for creating medications that combat a broad spectrum of fungal infections.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary active ingredient in topical creams, ointments, powders, and sprays for treating dermatological fungal infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and candidiasis.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in antifungal formulations for treating skin, ear, and hoof infections in companion animals and livestock.
• Clinical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active compound in microbiological and pharmacological studies for developing new antifungal agents.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into specialized medicated soaps and cleansers for managing persistent skin conditions.
• Industrial Preservative: Potential application as a fungistatic agent in specific material science and coating formulations to prevent microbial degradation.

Quality Control

Our Econazole Nitrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is produced to meet high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications, with potential alignment to pharmacopeial monographs (e.g., USP, EP, BP). Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
