Targets:

1,3-beta-glucan synthase component FKS1 (Aspergillus niger (strain CBS 513.88 / FGSC A1513)) [DrugBank]

Pharmacodynamics:

Anidulafungin is a semi-synthetic lipopeptide synthesized from a fermentation product of Aspergillus nidulans. Anidulafungin is an echinocandin, a class of antifungal drugs that inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan, an essential component of fungal cell walls. Anidulafungin is active in vitro against many Candida, as well as some Aspergillus. Like other echinocandins, anidulafungin is not active against Cryptococcus neoformans, Trichosporon, Fusarium, or zygomycetes. [DrugBank]
