Griseofulvin

Griseofulvin is a fungistatic antibiotic derived from Penicillium griseofulvum, widely used in the treatment of dermatophytosis—fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. It has remained a staple in antifungal therapy due to its proven clinical efficacy, particularly in tinea capitis and tinea unguium.

At BluepillExpress, we offer comprehensive third-party manufacturing services for Griseofulvin in a range of strengths and dosage forms. Our WHO-GMP certified facilities, robust quality systems, and global regulatory compliance enable us to deliver highly stable, effective, and market-ready antifungal formulations to pharmaceutical companies and distributors across international markets.

Therapeutic Applications

Griseofulvin is indicated in the treatment of superficial fungal infections involving keratinized tissues, especially when topical antifungals are ineffective or impractical. Common conditions treated include:

• Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm)
• Tinea corporis (body ringworm)
• Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)
• Tinea cruris (jock itch)
• Tinea unguium (onychomycosis – nail infections)
• Tinea barbae (beard area infections)

It is particularly useful for deep-seated or widespread infections and in pediatric cases where oral therapy is needed. Griseofulvin works best when taken for extended durations, with treatment courses lasting weeks to months depending on the infection site.

Mechanism of Action

Griseofulvin acts by inhibiting fungal cell mitosis. Specifically, it interferes with the microtubule function within fungal cells, disrupting the mitotic spindle and thereby arresting cell division.

Key pharmacologic features:

• Binds to keratin precursor cells, making newly formed keratin resistant to fungal invasion
• Concentrates in skin, hair, and nails, allowing targeted antifungal action
• Provides fungistatic activity, meaning it halts fungal growth rather than killing fungi directly
• Works systemically to treat infections unreachable by topical medications

Due to this unique mechanism and tissue binding profile, Griseofulvin is most effective in keratinized tissues, making it a first-choice drug for many dermatological fungal infections.
