Population Pharmacokinetics of Caspofungin and Dose Simulations in Heart Transplant Recipients
The effect of heart transplantation (HTx) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of caspofungin is not well-characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate the population PK of caspofungin in HTx and non-HTx patients and to identify covariates that may ...

Cellular apoptosis: An alternative mechanism of action for caspofungin against Candida glabrata [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Although the mechanism of action for echinocandins is known, the physiological mechanisms by which these antifungal agents cause cell death via the classical apoptotic pathways are not well-defined yet. Regarding this, the present
