Efinaconazole molecular structure

Efinaconazole

Also known as: Jublia, Clenafin, Efinaforce

CAS Number: 164650-44-6

Triazole antifungal — topical, onychomycosis-specific

Mechanism of Action

Efinaconazole inhibits fungal lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, depleting ergosterol and destabilising the fungal membrane. Its distinguishing property is low keratin binding relative to other azoles, so a much larger free fraction remains available to diffuse through the nail plate to the infected nail bed. This pharmaceutical property, rather than raw potency, is what makes topical monotherapy of onychomycosis viable.
