Butenafine
A topical antifungal of the benzylamine class used to treat tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea corporis (ringworm), and tinea cruris (jock itch). It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the fungal cell membrane synthesis pathway called squalene epoxidase, disrupting membrane integrity. It is available as a cream and requires consistent application for full effectiveness.
