NCIt definition : A next-generation, semi-synthetic, cyclic lipopeptide and echinocandin derivative,
with potential antifungal activity. Upon administration, rezafungin inhibits the fungal
specific enzyme 1,3-beta-D-glucan synthase, which is essential for fungal cell wall
synthesis, and results in decreased synthesis of beta(1,3)-D-glucan. This weakens
the fungal cell wall thereby causing osmotic lysis, fungal cell wall rupture and fungal
cell death.;
