Nitroxoline is an oxyquinoline derivative with a large antifungical activity. The fungistatic activity of nitroxoline is greater against Candida albicans than against Torulopsis glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei. The MIC are compatible with urinary concentrations of nitroxoline. These preliminary clinical results favor the use of nitroxoline in the management of fungal urinary tract infections.
