Background:

Caspofungin-d4 (acetate) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of caspofungin by GC- or LC-MS. Caspofungin is an antifungal compound that is classified as an echinocandin, as it acts by noncompetititvely inhibiting the enzyme 1,3-β glucan synthase and preventing the synthesis of glucan in the fungal cell wall.1 It is effective against disseminated or invasive aspergillosis and candidiasis.2,3 Caspofungin has a 50% minimum effective concentration against Aspergillus spp. of 0.015 μg/ml.4 It does not antagonize other antifungal compounds, like amphotericin B, and, in some cases, may show additive or synergistic activity.1,3,5
