NIH Websites Are Changing
Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

rezafungin

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.
