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.
Micafungin is used for first-line treatment of invasive and esophageal candidiasis in addition to prophylaxis of Candida infections in both adults and children.
Semisynthetic echinocandin antifungal that inhibits 1,3-β-D-glucan synthase which is required for cell wall synthesis.

It has been nearly a decade since caspofungin was approved for clinical use as the first echinocandin class antifungal agent, followed by micafungin and anidulafungin. The echinocandin drugs target the fungal cell wall by inhibiting the synthesis of β-1,3-D-glucan, a
