MK-3118 is as an orally active new antifungal in the early stage of clinical development that inhibits the biosynthesis of β-(1,3)-glucan. We evaluated the in vitro activity of this compound against wild-type and echinocandin-resistant (ER) isolates containing mutations in the FKS gene(s) of Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. MK-3118 demonstrated enhanced efficacy for most C. albicans and C. glabrata ER isolates relative to caspofungin, with decreased MICs and half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s).
MK-3118 是一种处于临床开发早期的新型口服抗真菌药物,可抑制β-(1,3)-葡聚糖的生物合成。我们评估了该化合物对野生型和棘白菌素耐药(ER)分离株的体外活性,这些分离株包含 Candida spp. 和 Aspergillus spp. 的 FKS 基因的突变。与卡泊芬净相比,MK-3118 对大多数 C. albicans 和 C. glabrata ER 分离株表现出增强的疗效,MIC 和半最大抑制浓度(IC50)降低。
