ibrexafungerp
Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-014295
An intravenous and orally bioavailable semisynthetic derivative of enfumafungin with potential antifungal activity. Upon administration, ibrexafungerp inhibits beta-1,3-D-glucan synthase, an enzyme essential for fungal cell wall synthesis. This results in weakening of the fungal cell wall, thereby leading to osmotic lysis and eventually fungal cell death.
