Anidulafungin is an anti-fungal drug. It has proven efficacy against oesophageal candidiasis, but its main utility will probably be in invasive Candida infection; It will probably also have application in treating invasive Aspergillus infection. It is a member of the class of anti-fungal drugs known as the echinocandins: Its mechanism of action is by inhibition of (1-3)β -D-glucan synthase, which is an important component of the fungal cell wall.
