Anidulafungin is a semi-synthetic echinocandin derivative and antifungal effective against Candida spp. Anidulafungin inhibits fungal cell wall synthesis. It is useful in pharmacotherapy and cell culture research applications. It is used against the yeast causing candidemia (blood), Candida peritonitis (stomach), and fungi causing causing esophageal candidiasis (esophagus), along with other fungi.
Anidulafungin is slightly soluble in DMSO but practically insoluble in water.
