Apollo Scientific™ Anidulafungin is a high-purity, semisynthetic echinocandin antifungal compound widely used in antifungal susceptibility testing, resistance studies, and pharmaceutical research. It is commonly employed as an internal positive inhibitor control in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays and as a reference compound in disk diffusion assays for evaluating antifungal drug resistance and tolerance in Candida species.
Anidulafungin exerts its antifungal activity by inhibiting β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, an enzyme essential for fungal cell wall synthesis and absent in mammalian cells, resulting in selective antifungal activity.
Key Features
- High Purity (≥98%) – Suitable for advanced pharmaceutical and microbiological research
- Echinocandin-Class Antifungal – Distinct from azoles and polyenes
- Selective Mechanism of Action – Targets fungal cell wall synthesis
- Ideal Positive Control – Commonly used in MIC and disk diffusion assays
- Well-Characterized Reference Compound – Extensively cited in antifungal research
- Available in Precise Milligram Quantities – Optimized for high-value assays
Biochemical & Pharmacological Action
Anidulafungin is a semisynthetic echinocandin featuring an alkoxytriphenyl side chain, which contributes to its potent antifungal activity. It inhibits β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, leading to disruption of fungal cell wall integrity and cell death.
This mechanism underpins its therapeutic relevance in oesophageal and invasive candidiasis, and its widespread use as a benchmark antifungal agent in susceptibility testing.
