Pneumocandin B0
Application Notes
Pneumocandin B0 is the major analogue of a family of lipopeptides isolated from some species of Cryptosporiopsis, Glarea and Pezicula. Pneumocandin B0 is a potent antifungal and acts by inhibiting the synthesis of β-(1,3)-D-glucan, an essential component of the cell wall of susceptible fungi.
