amorolfine hydrochloride

CHEBI:59649 ·resolve ·ANTIFUNGAL ·EXACT SEEDED

A hydrochloride resulting from the formal reacton of equimolar amounts of hydrogen chloride and amorolfine. An inhibitor of the action of squalene monooxygenase, Δ14 reductase and D7-D8 isomerase and an antifungal agent, it is used for the topical treatment of fungal nail and skin infections. — ChEBI

Mechanism summary

Mode of action
ERGOSTEROL_PATHWAY_INHIBITION host shared target — Assigned from ChEBI role CHEBI:59285 (EC 1.14.13.132 (squalene monooxygenase) inhibitor). ChEBI asserts the role on the compound. The target it names is one the host has too, so the mechanism is true but is not evidence of selectivity — see mode_of_action_target_scope. Not a curator's mechanistic review.
