Notes: Caspofungin-d4 (acetate) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of caspofungin (Item No. 15923) by GC- or LC-MS. Caspofungin is an antifungal compound that is classified as an echinocandin, as it acts by noncompetititvely inhibiting the enzyme 1,3-β glucan synthase and preventing the synthesis of glucan in the fungal cell wall.{26520} It is effective against disseminated or invasive aspergillosis and candidiasis.{26517,26521} Caspofungin has a 50% minimum effective concentration against Aspergillus spp. of 0.015 µg/ml.{26518} It does not antagonize other antifungal compounds, like amphotericin B, and, in some cases, may show additive or synergistic activity.{26520,26521,20805}
