echinocandin

Rezafungin (SP-3025) is a broad-spectrum and long-lasting echinocandin with potent antifungal activity against Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis.

Echinocandin B is a cyclic hexapeptide echinocandin antibiotic from Aspergillus nidulans var. echinulatus . It attacks the cell wall of fungi by inhibiting beta-1,3-glucan synthesis.

Tetrahydroechinocandin B is a cyclic hexapeptide containing a fatty acyl side chain. It also inhibits 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthesis.

Micafungin sodium (FK 463) is the sodium salt form of micafungin, a semi-synthetic echinocandin derived from a natural product of the fungus Coleophoma empetri with antifungal activity.

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.

Anidulafungin (Ecalta) (LY303366) is an echinocandin derivative used as an antifungal drug. It inhibits glucan synthase activity.

ECBN HCL (A-30912A nucleus hydrochloride) is the reaction product catalyzed by Echinocandin B (ECB) deacylase.

Rezafungin acetate (Biafungin acetate) is a echinocandin with antimicrobial activity that inhibits 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase. It can be used for research on invasive fungal diseases in hematopoietic and bone marrow transplant recipients.

Deoxymulundocandin is an echinocandin type antifungal antibiotic from Aspergillus sydowii.

FR901379 is an echinocandin-like antifungal lipopeptide.1 It is active against C. albicans, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. utilis, A. fumigatus, and A. niger fungi (IC50s = <0.003-1.9 μg/ml). FR901379 is protective against C. albicans infection in mice (ED50 = 1.1 mg/kg). It also reduces the number of pulmonary cysts and trophozoites in a mouse model of P. carinii infection. |1.

FR179642 is an essential intermediate compound utilized in the synthesis of Micafungin, an antifungal drug belonging to the echinocandin class. It serves as the cyclic peptide foundation for the structurally similar antifungal lipopeptide FR901379.

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.

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

Aminocandin (HMR 3270), a water-soluble echinocandin class antifungal agent, exhibits exceptional efficacy against Aspergillus and Candida species [1].
