Anidulafungin (Eraxis) vs Rezafungin (Rezzayo)
An educational, source-based comparison of Anidulafungin (Eraxis) and Rezafungin (Rezzayo) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
Echinocandin lipopeptide for invasive Candida infections.
Semisynthetic lipopeptide that non-competitively inhibits β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, disrupting fungal cell wall synthesis in Candida and Aspergillus species.
- Candidemia and other invasive candidiasis
- Esophageal candidiasis
- • FDA-approved.
- • No dose adjustment for renal/hepatic impairment.
- • Infusion-related reactions possible.
Once-weekly echinocandin for candidemia and invasive candidiasis.
Next-generation echinocandin structurally related to anidulafungin with enhanced stability, inhibiting β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase; long half-life permits once-weekly IV dosing.
- Candidemia
- Invasive candidiasis
- • FDA-approved (2023).
- • Infusion reactions and photosensitivity reported.
