Description | Micafungin (sodium) is an inhibitor of 1, 3-beta-D-glucan synthesis, and used as an antifungal drug.In Vitro:Micafungin (10 mg/mL) phenotypicly decreases the formation of biofilm in most of the isolates. For all the genes tested, the levels of mRNA transcription are also decreased significantly in micafungin-treated samples cf. their untreated counterparts[1]. The combination of micafungin and KB425796-C is fungicidal and markedly reduces the number of CFU, in contrast to the fungistatic effects (no reduction in CFU) observed at all examined time points when each drug is used alone[2].In Vivo:Micafungin (1 mg/kg) significantly prolongs survival compared with mice administered saline. Animals given a combination of micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) and KB425796-C (32 mg/kg) show a trend towards prolonged survival in comparison with those treated with micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) alone. In the livers of micafungin-treated mice, the number of CFUs decreases, although the clearance effect is less than that found in the kidneys. Combination treatment with micafungin and KB425796-C results in a significant decrease in the number of CFUs compared with the treatment with micafungin alone at all examined doses. The clearance effect associated with KB425796-C in combination with micafungin is greater than that observed in AMPH-treated animals[2]. References: |
Cell Assay
[2]
Each fungal isolate is incubated statically in yeast-maltose (YM) agar broth for 24 h at 30°C. Cryptococcus neoformans YC203 is grown in YM broth medium for 20 h at 30°C with shaking at 200 r.p.m. A cell suspension is prepared by washing the cultured cells once with sterile saline. A. fumigatus FP1305 is cultured on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) slant for 4 days, and spores are then harvested in sterile saline and collected by filtering through gauze. Antifungal activity against all isolates, with the exception of C. neoformans, is measured by the micro-broth dilution method in 96-well culture plates using RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with l-glutamine, but without sodium bicarbonate, and buffered to pH 7.0 with 0.165 m MOPS. ForC. neoformans, yeast nitrogen base-glucose (YNBD) medium is used. For the assay, the test microorganism is inoculated into each well to yield 1×105 CFU/well, and the plates are then incubated for 20 h or 48 h at 37°C. Two end points are determined by microscopic observation: MEC, which is defined as a substantial reduction in fungal growth, and MIC, which is defined as a complete inhibition of growth.
Animal Administration
[2]
Eight groups of ten female DBA/2 mice (7 weeks old) are intravenously injected with 2.0×106 A. fumigatus FP1305 spores. The test groups receive the following treatments: AMPH at 1 mg/kg of body weight/dose given intraperitoneally (i.p.) once daily (q.d.); micafungin at 0.1, 0.32 or 1 mg/kg of body weight/dose given subcutaneously (s.c.) (q.d.); micafungin given s.c. (0.1, 0.32 or 1 mg/kgq.d.) plus KB425796-C given i.p. (32 mg/kg) twice daily (b.i.d.); and saline (b.i.d.). Drugs are administered on days 1 and 2. Five mice in each group are killed 1 day after the completion of treatment. The livers and kidneys are aseptically removed, and each organ is then homogenized in 5 mL sterile saline. Serial 10-fold dilutions of the homogenates are plated on PDA and incubated for 48 h at 37°C, and the numbers of CFU per gram of tissue are then calculated. The survival rate of remaining five mice of each group are examined daily for 31 days after the challenge.

Micafungin is an antifungal agent [1].
Antifungal medicine is a pharmaceutical fungicide used to treat and prevent mycoses such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis (thrush), serious systemic infections such as cryptococcal meningitis, and others.
Micafungin is an antifungal agent known to inhibit 1,3-β-D-glucan synthesis in Candida albicans. In 13 out of 18 P. Aeruginosa isolates tested, micafungin significantly reduced biofilm biomass. In all 9 P. Aeruginosa isolates tested, micafungin decreased the expression of ndvB, which encoded the cell wall 1,3-β-D-glucan. Also, it decreased the expression of biofilm encoding genes for alginate and pellicles (algC and pelC, respectively) [1].
In a mouse model of septic A. fumigatus infection, micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) increased the survival rate of mice to 20%. When micafungin (0.1 mg/kg) combination with KB425796-C (32 mg/kg), the survival rate of mice increased to 100% in the 31-day post-infection period. While non-treated mice survived for only 6 days [2].

Stability of micafungin sodium solutions at different concentrations in glass bottles and syringes.[Pubmed:26187166]
Int J Pharm. 2015 Aug 15;492(1-2):137-40.
Micafungin is a costly treatment and packaging of 50 mg or 100 mg bottles only are available, while doses lower than 5 mg and 20 mg are often necessary in neonates and paediatrics patients, respectively. The stability of Micafungin sodium in polypropylene syringes and glass bottles was studied at different concentrations. Solutions of micafungin diluted with NaCl 0.9% were prepared in glass bottles (20 and 10 mg/mL) or syringes (1 and 0.5 mg/mL) and stored at 25 degrees C, 60% humidity (RH), in the dark (ICH conditions). Solutions were also exposed to heat (70 degrees C) or alkaline solution (NaOH) in order to force degradation. Samples were analysed at days 1, 5, 8 (for bottles) and also 15 (for syringes) after the preparation and assayed in triplicate. Stability was studied using a stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method. Syringes stored at 25 degrees C retained over 90% of their initial concentration over the study period. Temperature and alkaline conditions had significant effect on the stability of micafungin, leading to apparition of degradation products. Moreover, sub visible particles were in the specification of the European Pharmacopeia along 15 days. To conclude, micafungin diluted in NaCl 0.9% and stored in polypropylene syringes was chemically stable for at least 15 days at 25 degrees C in the dark.
Development and validation of a stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of related substances of micafungin sodium in drug substances.[Pubmed:24284389]
Int J Mol Sci. 2013 Oct 24;14(11):21202-14.
An isocratic, sensitive and stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for separation and determination of the related substances of Micafungin sodium was developed. The chromatographic separation was achieved on Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 mum). Forced degradation study con fi rmed that the newly developed method was speci fi c and selective to the degradation products. The performance of the method was validated according to the present ICH guidelines for speci fi city, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. Regression analysis showed correlation coefficient value greater than 0.999 for Micafungin sodium and its six impurities. Limit of detection of impurities was in the range of 0.006%-0.013% indicating the high sensitivity of the newly developed method. Accuracy of the method was established based on the recovery obtained between 98.2% and 102.0% for all impurities. RSD obtained for the repeatability and intermediate precision experiments, was less than 1.0%. The method was successfully applied to quantify related substances of Micafungin sodium in bulk drugs.
