Design, development and optimization of a transungual duple nail lacquer for onychomycosis therapy

Abstract

Onychomycosis is a degenerative fungal infection inflicting toes and finger nails which is caused by both dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum and Candida spp. respectively. The infection apparently causes nail mutilation making nails stiff, skinny, flawed, and dyschromic. Owing to the anatomical presentation of the disease, a topical application is warranted which asserts positive attributes like ease of preparation, improved adherence, negligible drug interactions, low systemic adverse effects and voluntary removal.
