Efinaconazole acts as a 14α-demethylase inhibitor. Efinaconazole inhibits fungal lanosterol 14α-demethylase involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a constituent of fungal cell membranes. Efinaconazole has been shown to be active against isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections. Efinaconazole exhibits in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.06 μg/mL or less against most ( ≥ 90%) isolates of the following microorganisms: Trichophyton rubrum; Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
