In this study, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity of a thiosemicarbazide derivative, 1-[(1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-2-yl)carbonyl]-4-(3-methylphenyl)thiosemicarbazide, against a panel of anthropophilic and zoophilic Trichophyton spp. dermatophytes. Susceptibility testing was performed via the broth microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs). The compound demonstrated antifungal efficacy against all the strains tested, with MIC values ranging from 31.25 to 125 \u00b5g\/mL. Crucially, low MFC\/MIC ratios (\u22644) confirmed a fungicidal effect, which was further corroborated by microscopic analysis revealing severe hyphal damage in treated dermatophytes. The derivative exhibited consistent activity against both T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, including clinical isolates. To our knowledge, this is one of the first detailed evaluations of a nitroimidazole\u2013thiosemicarbazide hybrid against Trichophyton spp. that combines quantitative MIC\/MFC testing with morphological assessment. The tested thiosemicarbazide derivative noticeably decreased the viability of VERO and A375 cells, but even at the highest tested concentration, after 72 h of incubation, the cellular viability remained at 65%. These findings suggest that the investigated compound is a promising candidate for the development of new fungicidal drugs or disinfectants for the effective prophylaxis or management of superficial mycoses in human and veterinary medicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens15070688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T10:01:17Z","timestamp":1782813677000},"page":"688","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fungicidal Activity of the Nitroimidazole\u2013Thiosemicarbazide Derivative 1-[(1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-2-yl)carbonyl]-4-(3-methylophenyl)thiosemicarbazide Against Trichophyton spp. Dermatophytes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6301-6059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylwia","family":"Andrzejczuk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Medical University of Lublin, Chodzki Str. 1, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9816-1934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Wujec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Lublin, Chodzki Str. 4A, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1626-680X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"\u015awi\u0105tek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Virology with Viral Diagnostics Laboratory, Medical University of Lublin, Chodzki Str. 1, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4536-1750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Urszula","family":"Kosikowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Medical University of Lublin, Chodzki Str. 1, 20-093 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"629","DOI":"10.3390\/jof7080629","article-title":"State-of-the-Art Dermatophyte Infections: Epidemiology Aspects, Pathophysiology, and Resistance Mechanisms","volume":"7","author":"Peres","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
