Echinocandins are a class of antifungal medications used to treat various invasive fungal infections, including candidemia, aspergillosis, and invasive candidiasis. They work by inhibiting the production of a cell wall component called beta-1,3 glucan, which is essential for the growth and survival of certain types of fungi. Echinocandins are often used in combination with other antifungal medications and can be effective in treating serious fungal infections that are resistant to other treatments.
