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.
