Description: |
Caspofungin is an antifungal compound that is classified as an echinocandin, as it acts by noncompetititvely inhibiting the enzyme 1,3-β glucan synthase and preventing the synthesis of glucan in the fungal cell wall. It is effective against disseminated or invasive aspergillosis and candidiasis in mice and in humans. Caspofungin has a 50% minimum effective concentration against Aspergillus spp. of 0.015 µg/ml. It does not antagonize other antifungal compounds, like amphotericin B, and, in some cases, may show additive or synergistic activity. Caspofungin achieves peak concentration in neonates and infants that are comparable to those in adults and displays a favorable safety profile.
