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.

GC-C Agonist · Gastrointestinal
Plecanatide (Trulance)

Uroguanylin analog for chronic constipation.

Mechanism

Synthetic analog of human uroguanylin that activates guanylate cyclase-C in a pH-dependent manner, increasing intestinal fluid secretion and transit.

Research areas
  • Chronic idiopathic constipation
  • IBS-C
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Diarrhea most common adverse event.
