Caspofungin belongs to a new class of antifungal agents that have a different mode of action to azoles and polyenes. This new agent is the first inhibitor of fungal glucan synthesis to receive approval for the treatment of mucosal and invasive candidiasis and invasive aspergillosis. Caspofungin is...
The mode of action of caspofungin as antifungal agent is to prevent the incorporation of uridine diphosphate (UDP)- glucose into b-1-3-glucan by inhibiting the fungal b-1-3-glucan synthase29. A BLAST and clustalW analysis revealed conserved regions between the sequence of S. aureus icaA and...
mode of action of cytotoxic compounds where the mode of action is already known (Smith et al., 2010). It has also been used to re- veal previously unknown modes of actions of compounds that were previously thought to be well characterized (Giaever, 2003). Whilst cytotoxic compounds are wid...

Aspergillus fumigatus can cause invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). Fungicidal azoles and fungistatic caspofungin (CAS) are the first- and second-line therapies, respectively, used to treat IPA. Treatment of A. fumigatus with CAS or micafungin induce

Among new available antifungal agents voriconazole is a new triazole with an intravenous (IV) and oral formulation, and caspofungin is an echinocandin, new family with a new mode of action on the cell wall. It is available as an IV preparation. Both drugs have a broad spectrum targeting most...
(Fig. 9a)13. The mode of action of caspofungin as antifungal agent is to prevent the incorporation of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose into β-1-3-glucan by inhibiting the fungal β-1-3-glucan synthase29. A BLAST and clustalW analysis revealed conserved regions between the sequence ofS. ...
