caspofungin

Caspofungin is a cyclic lipopeptide echinocandin and beta-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase inhibitor that is used to treat internal or systemic mycoses.

Caspofungin Acetate (MK 0991) is the acetate salt of an antimycotic echinocandin lipopeptide, semisynthetically derived from a fermentation product of the fungus Glarea lozoyensis. This agent is active against Aspergillus and Candida species.

Caspofungin-d4 (acetate) is the deuterated form of Caspofungin diacetate. Caspofungin (MK-0991) diacetate is a potent antifungal agent that inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase.

Caspofungin-d4 (MK-0991-d4; L-743872-d4) is a deuterium-labeled form of Caspofungin, an effective antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase, a critical enzyme for fungal cell wall production.

Caspofungin Acetate (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving Caspofungin Acetate. Caspofungin Acetate (MK 0991) is the acetate salt of an antimycotic echinocandin lipopeptide, semisynthetically derived from a fermentation product of the fungus Glarea lozoyensis. This agent is active against Aspergillus and Candida species.

Caspofungin-d4-Dicarboxylic acid is a deuterated compound of Caspofungin-Dicarboxylic acid. Caspofungin-Dicarboxylic acid has a CAS number of 162808-62-0.

Puupehenone is a natural heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor, potentiating the echinocandin drug caspofungin in caspofungin-resistant fungal pathogens, blocking the induction of caspofungin-responding genes required for the adaptation to cell wall stress through the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway.
