Overview
-
Micafungin is a semi-synthetic cyclic lipopeptide antifungal belonging to the echinocandin class that was reported in 1999 from Fujisawa in Japan. Unlike other marketed semi-synthetic derivatives in this class, Micafungin is derived from FR901379, which contains a phenolic sulfate to enhance aqueous solubility, a serious limitation in the echinocandin class.
Micafungin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. It has moderate water solubility.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
