摘要
Tavaborole, a cyclized boronic acid, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the topical treatment of toenail onychomycosis. This novel, low-molecular-weight pharmaceutical compound has broad-spectrum antifungal activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds responsible for the disease. Tavaborole was tested in 2-year carcinogenicity studies in mice (once daily dermal administration) and rats (once daily by oral gavage) as part of the extensive nonclinical safety program. There was no evidence of tavaborole-related neoplasms observed in either study. Based on the data gathered from these 2 carcinogenicity studies, tavaborole is considered noncarcinogenic.
