Terbinafine is an allylamine that exhibits anticancer, antifungal, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities. Terbinafine inhibits squalene oxidase, preventing synthesis of ergosterol and cholesterol. Terbinafine also inhibits proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, inhibiting kinase suppressor of RAS 1 (KSR1).
