Clioquinol（Cat No.:A000040）is an antimicrobial agent with both antifungal and antibacterial properties. It is primarily used topically for treating skin infections caused by fungi and bacteria. Clioquinol functions by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, helping to control infection and inflammation. It is also studied for its potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases due to its ability to chelate metal ions like zinc and copper, which play a role in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Clioquinol has demonstrated some promise in experimental research, though its clinical use remains primarily topical.
