Anidulafungin (Eraxis) vs Colistin (Polymyxin E)

An educational, source-based comparison of Anidulafungin (Eraxis) and Colistin (Polymyxin E) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.

Echinocandin · Antifungal
Anidulafungin (Eraxis)

Echinocandin lipopeptide for invasive Candida infections.

Mechanism

Semisynthetic lipopeptide that non-competitively inhibits β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, disrupting fungal cell wall synthesis in Candida and Aspergillus species.

Research areas
  • Candidemia and other invasive candidiasis
  • Esophageal candidiasis
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • No dose adjustment for renal/hepatic impairment.
  • Infusion-related reactions possible.

Polymyxin · Infectious Disease
Colistin (Polymyxin E)

Last-resort lipopeptide antibiotic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negatives.

Mechanism

Cationic cyclic lipopeptide that disrupts the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria by binding lipid A of LPS, causing membrane permeability and cell death.

Research areas
  • Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity dose-limiting.
