Cancidas Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesWhite SolidUsesAn echinocandin that inhibits the synthesis of β (1,3)-D-glucan, an integral component of the fungal cell wall. An antifungal drug used in the treatment of invasive fungal infections.UsesCaspofungin is a semi-synthetic analogue of pneumocandin B0 with improved water solubility, a significant limitation in the development of the echinocandin class as pharmaceuticals. Caspofungin acts by inhibiting the synthesis of β-(1,3)-D-glucan, an essential component of the cell wall of susceptible fungi.UsesCalcium antagonist, coronary vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, analgesicDefinitionChEBI: The diacetate salt of caspofungin. It is used for the treatment of invasive candidiasis, and of aspergillosis in patients who are refractory to, or intolerant of, other therapy.
