Clinical Pharmacology:

Clinical pharmacology ciclopirox is a broad-spectrum, antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of pathogenic dermatophytes, yeasts, and malassezia furfur . ciclopirox exhibits fungicidal activity in vitro against isolates of trichophyton rubrum , trichophyton mentagrophytes , epidermophyton floccosum , microsporum canis , and candida albicans . pharmacokinetic studies in men with radiolabeled ciclopirox solution in polyethylene glycol 400 showed an average of 1.3% absorption of the dose when it was applied topically to 750 cm 2 on the back followed by occlusion for 6 hours. the biological half-life was 1.7 hours and excretion occurred via the kidney. two days after application only 0.01% of the dose applied could be found in the urine. fecal excretion was negligible. autoradiographic studies with human cadaver skin showed that ciclopirox penetrates into the hair and through the epidermis and hair follicles into the sebaceous glands and dermis, while a portion of the drug remains in th
e stratum corneum. in vitro penetration studies in frozen or fresh excised human cadaver and pig skin indicated that the penetration of ciclopirox topical suspension usp is equivalent to that of ciclopirox cream usp. therapeutic equivalence of cream and suspension formulations also was indicated by studies of experimentally induced guinea pig and human trichophytosis.

Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility:

Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility a carcinogenicity study in female mice dosed cutaneously twice per week for 50 weeks followed by a 6-month drug-free observation period prior to necropsy revealed no evidence of tumors at the application site. the following in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity tests have been conducted with ciclopirox olamine: studies to evaluate gene mutation in the ames salmonella /mammalian microsome assay (negative) and yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae assay (negative) and studies to evaluate chromosome aberrations in vivo in the mouse dominant lethal assay and in the mouse micronucleus assay at 500 mg/kg (negative). the following battery of in vitro genotoxicity tests were conducted with ciclopirox: a chromosome aberration assay in v79 chinese hamster cells, with and without metabolic activation (positive); a gene mutation assay in the hgprt – test with v79 chinese hamster cells (negative); and a primary dna damage assay (i.e., unscheduled dna s
ynthesis assay in a549 human cells (negative)). an in vitro cell transformation assay in balb/c3t3 cells was negative for cell transformation. in an in vivo chinese hamster bone marrow cytogenetic assay, ciclopirox was negative for chromosome aberrations at 5000 mg/kg.
