Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/ppa/micafungin.html | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micafungin

Micafungin (trade name Mycamine) is an echinocandin antifungal drug. Micafungin, the active ingredient in Mycamine, inhibits the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucan, an essential component of fungal cell walls, which is not present in mammalian cells. Micafungin is indicated for the treatment of candidemia, acute disseminated candidiasis, Candida peritonitis, abscesses and esophageal candidiasis. Possible histamine-mediated symptoms have been reported with Mycamine, including rash, pruritus, facial swelling and vasodilatation.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Micafungin was present in low levels at brain tissue, indicating limited penetration into central nervous system (CNS) tissue. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19933794
