Product Description
Mechanism of action
Anidulafungin is an echinocandin antifungal agent that inhibits β‑(1,3)‑D‑glucan synthase, an essential enzyme in fungal cell-wall biosynthesis. Inhibition disrupts cell-wall integrity, leading to osmotic instability and fungal cell lysis. It is fungicidal against Candida species and fungistatic against Aspergillus.
Benefits and advantages
Highly valuable in antifungal drug‑resistance studies, glucan synthase kinetics, invasive candidiasis models, and echinocandin PK/PD modeling. Its chemical stability and non‑hepatic metabolism make it uniquely suited for mechanistic research.
Side effects and risks
Possible histamine‑mediated infusion reactions, hepatic enzyme elevation, and hypersensitivity. Requires biological‑agent handling standards.
