Abstract Sodium cyanoborohydride in trifluoroacetic acid selectively reduced the C5-orn and C4-htyr carbinols to methylene groups in echinocandin lipopeptides. The selective reduction of either hydroxyl is also described. The first conversion of echinocandin B to echinocandin C was accomplished.

Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of echinocandins
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2004The novel class of echinocandins represents a milestone in antifungal drug research that has further expanded our therapeutic options. The favorable pharmacokinetic profile of the echinocandins has been elucidated in animal and human studies. The echinocandins are targeted for once-daily dosing and are not metabolized through the cytochrome P450 enzyme

Echinocandins as alternative treatment for HIV-infected patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia.
AIDS (London), 2019OBJECTIVES Treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is often associated with adverse effects. Echinocandins, by inhibiting the cyst form of Pneumocystis jirovecii, may be an alternative therapy for PCP.

Echinocandins: The Expanding Antifungal Armamentarium
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2015The echinocandins are large lipopeptide molecules that, since their discovery approximately 41 years ago, have emerged as important additions to the expanding armamentarium against invasive fungal diseases. Echinocandins exert in vitro and in vivo fungicidal action against most Candida species and fungistatic action against Aspergillus species. However,

Caspofungin: An echinocandin antifungal agent
Clinical Therapeutics, 2002The mainstays of treatment for nosocomial fungal infections have been amphotericin B and azole derivatives. Caspofungin acetate is a new echinocandin antifungal agent with a mechanism of action that targets a structural component of the fungal cell wall.This article describes the pharmacologic properties and potential clinical usefulness of caspofungin.

Micafungin: A New Echinocandin Antifungal
Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2007The echinocandins represent the newest class of antifungals to combat infections caused by Candida sp. Micafungin is an echinocandin recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. It is indicated in adults for esophageal candidiasis and prophylaxis against candidal infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients ...

Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Patents, 2002
Echinocandins and echinocandin-like compounds are non-competitive inhibitors of the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan, a major and essential component in the wall of many important fungal pathogens. Since this polysaccharide is not present in mammalian cells the glucan synthase became an attractive target for the development of new antifungal agents.
