In vivo research | Mice injected with caspofungin had no significant changes in their ERG waveform at a vitreous concentration of 0.41 to 4.1 μM, and their retina had no detectable morphological changes or cell loss. At a vitreous concentration of 41 μM, caspofungin reduced the amplitude of the a wave, b wave and scotopic threshold response of ERG, and also caused a decrease in the number of cells in the ganglion cell layer [1]. Carprofungin (8 mg/kg) or amphotericin B 1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection once a day 30 h after infection for 7 consecutive days, relative to vehicle control treatment, 100% survival on day 28, resulting in daytime 100% mortality rate 11, after infectious challenge. Compared with the vehicle control treatment on day 5, caspofungin reduced the recovery of viable Candida in kidney and brain tissue when the control load reached its peak. Mice treated with caspofungin at a dose of 2 mg/kg or higher had significantly lower brain load on day 5 than mice treated with amphotericin B. Amphotericin B and caspofungin treatment reduced renal fungal burden by 1.7 log CFU/g and 2.46 to 3.64 log CFU/g, respectively [2]。 |
Animal experiment | Antifungal therapy was started 30 hours after the infectious challenge and was given by intraperitoneal (ip) injection once a day for 7 days. Mice were treated with 1, 2, 4, or 8 mg/kg/day caspofungin, 1 mg/kg/day amphotericin B or vehicle control (sterile distilled water). The efficacy of the model was evaluated in three ways: by monitoring the survival rate of 10 animals in each treatment group, by monitoring the Candida load in the kidney and brain tissues of the second group of treated animals, and by histologically evaluating the kidneys. And brain. The third group of treated animals. The mice were euthanized by CO 2 inhalation and cultured at 30 hours (vehicle-treated control only) and on day 5 (24 hours after the 4th dose), 8 (24 hours after the last dose), and 14, 21 hours And histological tissue sampling. (Only caspofungin treatment), and 28 after the attack. |

Production Process
Caspofungin needs to be prepared by fermentation semi-synthetic technology. The crude product of the main ring needs to be obtained through fermentation technology, and then the intermediate product is obtained through separation and purification, and then the intermediate product is used as the starting material to complete the side chain splicing using synthetic technology to finally obtain the target Element. Because the "fermented semi-synthetic" products need to go through multiple technical links such as fermentation, separation and purification, synthesis, etc., the technical route and process parameter control are very complicated in Chemicalbook. In addition, the regulatory requirements for the registration of caspofungin, a fermented semi-synthetic product, are also extremely high. The application documents need to start from the fermentation source, not only to systematically study strain cultivation, fermentation technology, and purification technology, but also to explore the synthesis process. Route, conditions, and control of impurities in the process, because the final product is quite fragile, any carelessness will wipe out all previous efforts, and the technical difficulty and cost are not insignificant.
It is precisely because of high technical barriers and a good competitive landscape that Hengrui Caspofungin has maintained a relatively good price space after its listing.
