In Vitro | In vitro activity: Anidulafungin has been reported to inhibit systemic isolates of Candida species with the MIC90 values of 0.08μg/ml, 0.32μg/ml, 0.32μg/ml and 5.12μg/ml for C.albicans (n=99), C.glabrata(n=18), C.tropicalis(n=10), and C.parapsilosis (n=10), respectively. In addition, Anidulafungin has been found to be active against Aspergillus species(n=20) with the MIC90 values of ~0.02μg/ml. Apart from these, Anidulafungin has been revealed to inactively restrain with the MIC90 values of>10.24μg/ml and 16μg/ml, for C.neoformans and B.dermatitidis, respectively.
Kinase Assay: Anidulafungin has been reported to inhibit systemic isolates of Candida species with the MIC90 values of 0.08μg/ml, 0.32μg/ml, 0.32μg/ml and 5.12μg/ml for C.albicans (n=99), C.glabrata(n=18), C.tropicalis(n=10), and C.parapsilosis (n=10), respectively. I
Cell Assay: Stocks of CD101 (formerly SP 3025, biafungin, AF-025) are prepared fresh in 100% DMSO prior to use. The comparator antifungals Anidulafungin (ANF), Caspofungin (CSF), and Amphotericin B (AMB) are also prepared in 100% DMSO. MIC assays are performed via broth microdilution in accordance with CLSI guidelines, with the exception that test compounds are made up at a 50× final assay concentration and 100 μL assay mixture volumes are used (2 μL added to 98 μL of broth containing cells at 0.5×103 to 2.5×103 CFU/mL). All MIC assays are run at least three times, and a representative data set is shown. Quality control (QC) is assessed throughout the study via comparison of MIC values derived for WT C. krusei strain ATCC 6258 for AMB, CSF, and ANF with previously reported CLSI 24-h broth microdilution QC ranges. |
