Anidulafungin, a new class of antifungal agent used for the treatment of chronic fungal infections, is derived from Echinocandin B nucleus, an intermediate metabolite of Echinocandin B produced by Aspergillus nidulans. The enzyme acylase plays a key role in the bioconversion of Echinocandin B to Echinocandin B nucleus.
