CLOTRIMAZOLE
Overview
What is CLOTRIMAZOLE?
Clotrimazole Cream USP, 1% contains clotrimazole, a synthetic antifungal agent
having the chemical name {1-(o-Chloro-α, α-diphenylbenzyl)imidazole}; the
molecular formula CHClN; a molecular weight of 344.84; and the structural formula:
Clotrimazole is an odorless, white crystalline substance. It is practically
insoluble in water, sparingly soluble in ether and very soluble in polyethylene
glycol 400, ethanol and chloroform.
Each gram of Clotrimazole Cream contains 10 mg clotrimazole, dispersed in a
vanishing cream base of sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax,
cetostearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, purified water, and benzyl alcohol (1%)
as preservative.

Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is used
for the treatment of dermal infections caused by various species of pathogenic
dermatophytes, yeasts, and . The
primary action of clotrimazole is against dividing and growing organisms.

Strains of fungi having a natural resistance to clotrimazole are rare. Only a
single isolate of has been
reported to have primary resistance to clotrimazole.
No single-step or multiple-step resistance to clotrimazole has developed
during successive passages of and
. No appreciable change in
sensitivity was detected after successive passage of isolates of , , or in liquid or solid media containing
clotrimazole. Also, resistance could not be developed in chemically induced
mutant strains of polyene-resistant isolates of . Slight, reversible resistance was noted in three isolates of
tested by one investigator. There is a
single report that records the clinical emergence of strain with considerable resistance to flucytosine and
miconazole, and with cross-resistance to clotrimazole, the strain remained
sensitive to nystatin and amphotericin B.
In studies of the mechanism of action, the minimum fungicidal concentration
of clotrimazole caused leakage of intracellular phosphorus compounds into the
ambient medium with concomitant breakdown of cellular nucleic acids and
accelerated potassium efflux. Both these events began rapidly and extensively
after addition of the drug.
Clotrimazole appears to be well absorbed in humans following oral
administration and is eliminated mainly as inactive metabolites. Following
topical and vaginal administration, however, clotrimazole appears to be
minimally absorbed.
Six hours after the application of radioactive clotrimazole 1% cream and 1%
solution onto intact and acutely inflamed skin, the concentration of
clotrimazole varied from 100 mcg/cm in the stratum
corneum to 0.5 to 1 mcg/cm in the stratum reticulare,
and 0.1 mcg/cm in the subcutis. No measurable amount of
radioactivity (≤0.001 mcg/mL) was found in the serum within 48 hours after
application under occlusive dressing of 0.5 mL of the solution or 0.8 g of the
cream. Only 0.5% or less of the applied radioactivity was excreted in the
urine.
Following intravaginal administration of 100 mg C-clotrimazole vaginal tablets to nine adult females, an
average peak serum level, corresponding to only 0.03 ug equivalents/mL of
clotrimazole, was reached one to two days after application. After intravaginal
administration of 5 g of 1% C-clotrimazole vaginal
cream containing 50 mg active drug, to five subjects (one with candidal
colpitis), serum levels corresponding to approximately 0.01 ug equivalents/mL
were reached between 8 and 24 hours after application.
Non-Clinical Toxicology
Clotrimazole Cream is contraindicated in individuals sensitive to its components.Synergism or antagonism between clotrimazole and nystatin, or amphotericin B, or flucytosine against strains of has not been reported.
Clotrimazole Cream is not for ophthalmic use.
The following adverse reactions have been reported in connection with the use of this product: erythema, stinging, blistering, peeling, edema, pruritus, urticaria, burning, and general irritation of the skin.
