(54) | FORMULATION FOR SUBSTITUTED 2-AMINOTHIAZOLES IN THE TREATMENT OF FUNGAL AND FUNGAL-BACTERIAL INFECTIONS OF THE NAIL |
(57) A formulation for substituted 2-aminothiazoles in the prophylaxis and treatment of
fungal and fungal-bacterial infections of the nail (onychomycosis) is disclosed. These
formulations are particularly suitable for the topical application onto a nail. After
evaporation of the solvent a thin polymer layer is formed on the nail from which the
substituted 2-aminothiazole diffuses into the nail and the nail bed. A particularly
effective substituted 2-aminothiazole is abafungin. The substituted 2-aminothiazoles
are not only fungicidal, but also sporicidal and anti-bacterial. This is a novel approach
to efficiently treat onychomycosis and to avoid frequent relapses of the infection.
