Ciclopirox (HOE296b) is a synthetic and orally active antifungal agent that can be used for superficial mycoses reseaech. Ciclopirox olamine has a very broad spectrum of activity and inhibits dermatophytes, yeasts, molds, and many Gram-positive and Gram-negative species pathogenic. Ciclopirox also has anticancer and anti-inflammatory effect[1][2][3].
