How it works
Ciclopirox olamine is a synthetic antifungal which is structurally unrelated to the common imidazoles or other antifungals. Unlike most antifungals, ciclopirox olamine does not affect sterol biosynthesis. It has been suggested that ciclopirox olamine interferes with the active uptake and accumulation of some essential substrates and/or polyvalent cations which results in cell death because of cellular depletion. Ciclopirox olamine may act through chelation of polyvalent cations such as Fe3+ or Al2+ .
