Description

Oxiconazole is a synthetic antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class, widely recognized for its potent and broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. Its primary commercial value lies in its efficacy 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. Oxiconazole CAS NO 64211-45-6 is valued for its stability and effectiveness in dermal applications.

Application

• Primary use as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) topical antifungal medications.
• Formulation of creams, ointments, and lotions for the treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis).
• Key component in medicated powders and sprays designed for fungal infection prevention and treatment.
• Use in veterinary pharmaceuticals for topical antifungal treatments in animals.
• Potential intermediate in the synthesis of more complex antifungal agents or for research into novel formulations.
• Raw material for manufacturers supplying finished dosage forms to global healthcare markets.

Quality Control

Our Oxiconazole is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via validated methods such as HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results against relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
