Experimental Example 1: Antifungal Activity Evaluation Test

(1486) The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum was measured by the following procedure by reference to Clinical and Laboratory standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines M38-A2. Reference document for the measurement method: National Committee for a Clinical Laboratory Standards. Reference method for broth dilution antifungal susceptibility testing of filamentous fungi. Approved standard Second edition M38-A2. Wayne, Pa.: National Committee for a Clinical Laboratory Standards, 2008. Test compound solution: A test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL to give a stock solution. The stock solution was appropriately diluted with DMSO to prepare a 2-fold dilution series. As control compounds, terbinafine and amorolfine were used. Test strains: Trichophyton mentagrophytes SM-110 and Trichophyton rubrum KD-1130 were used. Preparation of fungal culture to be inoculated: The above-mentioned test strain was suspended in 0.05% Tween 80-containing saline, and the fungi of the genus Trichophyton were prepared to a fungal concentration of 110.sup.6 cells/mL by using a hemocytometer. Then, using MOPS-buffered RPMI 1640 medium (pH 7.0) as a test medium, a fungal culture of the fungi of the genus Trichophyton was diluted 250-fold (410.sup.3 cells/mL) to give a fungal culture for inoculation. MIC measurement of genus Trichophyton fungi: MOPS-buffered RPMI 1640 medium (pH 7.0) was dispensed by 100 L to given wells of a 96 well U-bottom microplate. Then, the test compound solution (2 L) was added, the mixture was sufficiently stirred by a plate mixer. The fungal culture (100 L) was inoculated and the mixture was cultured at 35 C. for 4 days (final fungal concentration: 210.sup.3 cells/mL). After the culture, the minimum drug concentration of a well in which a growth inhibitory action of not less than 80% was visually observed as compared to a growth control was taken as a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC: g/mL).

(1487) The results are shown in Tables 72-79.

Experimental Example 2: Nail Permeability Test

(1497) Permeability through human nail was measured by the method shown below using Franz cell. Test Preparation: A test compound was dissolved in a propylene glycol:ethanol (1:4) mixed solution at a concentration of 5% to give a test preparation. As control compounds terbinafine and amorolfine were used. (1) Human nail (thickness 300-500 m) was fixed using a nail adapter for Franz cell, and mounted on Franz cell. (2) The receptor chamber of the Franz cell was filled with phosphate buffer, and placed in a thermostatic chamber at 32 C. (3) A test preparation was applied to the aforementioned human nail at 61 L/cm.sup.2, after which a receptor solution was collected over days, and the concentration of the test compound in the receptor was measured by a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method (LC/MS/MS). The cumulative amount of drug permeation (g/cm.sup.2) was calculated from the measured drug concentration in the receptor. A cumulative amount of drug permeation relative to the time after start of the test was plotted and the slope at final 4 time points was taken as Flux (g/cm.sup.2/day).

(1498) The results are shown in Table 80.
