Abstract

Miramistin is a topical antiseptic with broad antimicrobial activity that was developed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

To investigate the antifungal activity of miramistin against clinically relevant drug-resistant fungi.

The activity of miramistin was determined following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Mammalian cell toxicity was tested using a McCoy cell line and topical and systemic tolerability, and efficacy was tested using models.

The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) range against fungi was 1.56–25 mg l (GM 3.13 mg l ). In the . model, miramistin provided potent survival benefits for and infection. Miramistin was tolerated by McCoy cell lines at concentrations up to 1000 mg l and was systemically safe in . at 2000 mg kg. Topical administration at 32 000 mg l was well tolerated with no adverse effects.

These findings support further investigation of miramistin and suggest its possible use for treatment of superficial fungal infections.
