Caspofungin inhibits synthesis of beta-D-1,3 glucan, essential to cell walls in Candida and Aspergillus spp., but activity against less common molds is largely uncharacterized. We demonstrate that caspofungin inhibits beta-D-1,3 glucan synthesis and reduces in vitro growth of clinical isolates from the genera Alternaria, Curvularia, Scedosporium, Acremonium, Bipolaris, and Trichoderma.
卡泊芬净抑制β-D-1,3-葡聚糖的合成,而β-D-1,3-葡聚糖是念珠菌属和曲霉菌属细胞壁所必需的成分,但它对较罕见霉菌的活性在很大程度上尚未明确。我们证明,卡泊芬净可抑制β-D-1,3-葡聚糖的合成,并降低链格孢属、弯孢属、帚霉属、枝顶孢属、双极霉属和木霉属临床分离株的体外生长。
