Application: | Micafungin sodium has been used as an anti-fungal agent to test its effectiveness against multidrug-resistant C. auris by in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Micafungin is a semisynthetic echinocandin antifungal. Micafungin works by inhibiting the enzyme β(1,3)-D-Glucan synthase and thereby disturbing the integrity of the fungal cell wall. This enzyme does not exist in mammalian systems. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Micafungin is used for first-line treatment of invasive and esophageal candidiasis in addition to prophylaxis of Candida infections in both adults and children. |
