Product Information
Caspofungin is the first in a new class of antifungal agents named echinocandin to be launched in the US for the parenteral treatment of invasive aspergillosis in patients refractory to, or intolerant of other antifungal therapies such as amphotericin-B1 lipid formulation of amphotericin-B and/or itraconazole. Caspofungin is a water soluble, stable, aza-substituted semisynthetic derivative of pneumocandin B, a fermentation product of the fungus Zalerion arboricola. Since fungi and humans are both eukaryotes, new antifungal agents must focus on fungus-specific targets in order to minimize potential toxicity in the human host. In this respect, the lipopeptide caspofungin, inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-beta- D-glucans present only in the fungal cell wall, which leads to the specific lysis of the pathogenic cells. The compound is fungicidal rather than fungistatic, an unusual feature among antifungal agents.

Uses
| Uses | An 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. |
| Uses | Caspofungin acetate 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 acetate acts by inhibiting the synthesis of β-(1,3)-D-glucan, an essential component of the cell wall of susceptible fungi. |
| Uses | Calcium antagonist, coronary vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, analgesic |
Function
Caspofungin is used to treat a variety of fungal infections. Caspofungin belongs to a class of drugs known as echinocandins. It works by stopping the growth of fungi.
