Antifungal - Glucan Synthesis Inhibitors

Antifungal glucan synthesis inhibitors are a therapeutic class of antimicrobials that compromise fungal structural stability by inhibiting 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase, an enzyme complex essential for synthesizing a primary polysaccharide of the fungal cell wall Clinically, these agents serve a vital therapeutic role in managing invasive candidiasis, candidemia, refractory invasive aspergillosis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis, providing important alternatives in the setting of azole resistance
