Caspofungin acetate (CAS: 179463-17-3) is the diacetate salt of a semisynthetic echinocandin antifungal. It inhibits β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, disrupting fungal cell wall integrity and causing osmotic lysis. The compound is active against Candida species, including azole-resistant strains, and is used for invasive candidiasis and empirical antifungal therapy in febrile neutropenia.
