Anidulafungin

0 comments
Absorption Not Available
Volume of distribution
  • 30 to 50 L
Protein binding 84%
Metabolism
Hepatic metabolism of anidulafungin has not been observed. Anidulafungin is not a clinically relevant substrate, inducer, or inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes. Anidulafungin undergoes slow chemical degradation at physiologic temperature and pH to a ring-opened peptide that lacks antifungal activity.
Route of elimination Less than 1% of the administered radioactive dose was excreted in the urine. Anidulafungin is not hepatically metabolized.
Half life 40-50 hours
Clearance
  • 1 L/h
Toxicity During clinical trials a single 400 mg dose of anidulafungin was inadvertently administered as a loading dose. No clinical adverse events were reported. The maximum non-lethal dose of anidulafungin in rats was 50 mg/kg, a dose which is equivalent to 10 times the recommended daily dose for esophageal candidiasis (50mg/day).
Affected organisms
  • Aspergillis, Candida and other fungi
