Description and Uses
Micafungin, the second member of the echinocandin class of antifungal agents was launched in Japan for the parenteral treatment of various fungal infections caused by Aspergillus and Candida spp. such as fungaemia and respiratory and gastrointestinal mycoses. This water-soluble semisynthetic cyclic lipopeptide is synthesized by acylation with (5-(4- pentyloxyphenyl)isoxazol-3-yl)benzoate of the cyclic peptide nucleus (FR-179642).obtained by enzymatic cleavage of the naturally occurring echinocandin FR-901379, derived from the fungus Coleophoma empedri Micafungin acts by inhibiting the synthesis of 1,3-beta-glucan, an essential polysaccharide of the cell wall of many pathogenic fungi. Micafungin has a marked fungicidal effect on almost all species of Candida, including fluconazole-resistant spp. C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. Krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis and a fungistatic effect on a range of Aspergillus species including A. flaws, A. fumigates and A. terreus. Like caspofungin, micafungin is inactive against Cryptococcus neoformans, and the emerging pathogen Trichosporon cutaneum and Fusarium solani. Micafungin has proved highly effective in mouse models of Cancfidiasis and Aspergillus infections (including those using an amphotericin B- and itraconazole-resistant isolate of A. fumigatus). In phase I studies, micafungin had linear pharmacokinetics with an elimination half-life ranging from 11.7 to 15.2 h after injection and was well tolerated.
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.
