| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Definition]
ChEBI: Enfumafungin is a triterpene glycoside and hemiacetal isolated from a fermentation of Hormonema sp. and which specifically inhibits glucan synthesis in fungal cells. It has a role as an antifungal agent. It is a triterpenoid saponin, a monosaccharide derivative and a lactol. | [Biological Activity]
Enfumafungin, a triterpene glycoside, was isolated from extracts of the species Hormonema. It is an antifungal compound that acts on the fungal cell wall as a (1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase inhibitor. | [in vitro]
Enfumafungin (24-48 h) has MICs of less than 0.5 μg/mL against the Candida and Aspergillus species tested and it is inactive against Cryptococcus , including the decapsulated form (MY2062). | [in vivo]
Enfumafungin (50-200 mg/kg; ip twice daily for 2 days) produces a significant decrease in the number of cfu in kidneys of mice challenged with C. albicans , with an ED 90 of 90 mg/kg. | [target]
(1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase | [storage]

| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Structure]
Enfumafungin is structurally characterized by four rings with the six-membered D-ring and glucose attached to 3′-OH. Based on its ring structures, enfumafungin was classified as a fernene-type triterpene. The enfumafungin synthase, efuA, is a member of this cryptic lineage of eukaryotic squalene-hopene cyclases (SHCs), and recognition of the linkage will guide recognition of other biosynthetic products of this widespread class of fungal terpenes.
