International audience. Echinocandins are noncompetitive inhibitors of the GSC1 subunit of the enzymatic complex involved in synthesis of 1,3-beta- d -glucan, a cell wall component of most fungi, including Pneumocystis spp. Echinocandins are widely used for treating systemic candidiasis and rarely used for treating Pneumocystis pneumonia.
