Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Ciclopirox ethanolamine is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that acts as an iron chelator. By binding intracellular trivalent ferric ions, it inhibits essential iron-dependent enzymes involved in mitochondrial electron transport, cell respiration, and energy production. This chelation disrupts macromolecular biosynthesis, suppressing DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis while compromising cell membrane integrity and intracellular ion balance in pathogenic fungi and yeasts.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
