Apollo Scientific™ Caspofungin Acetate is a high-quality echinocandin-class antifungal compound used extensively in pharmaceutical research, antifungal resistance studies, and cell wall biosynthesis investigations. Unlike azole antifungals, caspofungin inhibits β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, a critical enzyme for fungal cell wall integrity, making it a valuable reference compound for mechanism-of-action and combination therapy studies.
Supplied as the acetate salt, this product offers enhanced stability and solubility, supporting accurate dosing and reproducibility in in vitro and preclinical research applications.
