micafungin sodium usage and synthesis

chemical properties off-white solid

uses an echinocandin antifungal drug which inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-β-d-glucan, an essential component of the fungal cell wall, and represent a valuable treatment option for fungal infections.

uses micafungin sodium is the salt of the semi-synthetic cyclic lipopeptide, micafungin, a member of the echinocandin class that was reported in 1999 from fujisawa in japan. the sodium salt takes advantage of the aryl sulphate moiety providing improved water solubility and is the preferred salt for pharmaceutical applications. like all echinocandins, micafungin inhibits the synthesis of β-(1,3)-d-glucan, an essential component of the cell wall of susceptible fungi.

uses micafungin is an echinocandin antifungal that inhibits 1,3-β-d-glucan synthesis. it has fungicidal activity against virtually all species of candida, including those resistant to fluconazole, and is fungistatic against aspergillus spp.[cayman chemical]
