Description

Sulconazole Nitrate is a synthetic imidazole antifungal agent widely recognized for its potent and broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as a key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in topical formulations for treating superficial fungal infections. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries developing antifungal creams, ointments, powders, and sprays. We supply high-purity Sulconazole Nitrate CAS NO 61318-91-0 to meet the stringent requirements of global regulatory standards and GMP production.

Application

• Topical Antifungal Pharmaceuticals: Primary API in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) creams, ointments, lotions, and solutions for athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and cutaneous candidiasis.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in topical antifungal treatments for skin infections in companion animals and livestock.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Incorporated into medicated powders, sprays, and cleansers designed for antifungal and antiseptic purposes.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and building block in pharmaceutical R&D for novel antifungal agents and combination therapies.
• Formulation Development: Used by manufacturers to develop new delivery systems, such as gels, foams, or transdermal patches, to enhance efficacy and patient compliance.
