Abstract
ABSTRACT
The echinocandin caspofungin is a potent inhibitor of the activity of 1,3-β-
d
-glucan synthase from
Aspergillus flavus
,
Aspergillus terreus
, and
Aspergillus nidulans
. In murine models of disseminated infection, caspofungin prolonged survival and reduced the kidney fungal burden. Caspofungin was at least as effective as amphotericin B against these filamentous fungi in vivo.
