Echinocandins are important in the prevention and treatment of invasive candidiasis but limited by current dosing regimens that include daily intravenous administration. The novel echinocandin CD101 has a prolonged half-life of approximately 130 h in humans, making it possible to design once-weekly dosing strategies. The present study examined the pharmacodynamic activity of CD101 using the neutropenic invasive candidiasis mouse model against selectCandida albicans (n = 4),C. glabrata (n = 3), andC. parapsilosis (n = 3) strains. The CD101 MIC ranged from 0.03 to 1 mg/liter. Plasma pharmacokinetic measurements were performed using uninfected mice after intraperitoneal administration of 1, 4, 16, and 64 mg/kg. The elimination half-life was prolonged at 28 to 41 h. Neutropenic mice were infected with each strain by lateral tail vein injection, treated with a single dose of CD101, and monitored for 7 days, at which time the organism burden was enumerated from the kidneys. Dose-dependent activity was observed for each organism. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) index of the area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC (AUC/MIC index) correlated well with efficacy (R 2 , 0.74 to 0.93). The median stasis 24-h free-drug AUC/MIC targets were as follows: forC. albicans , 2.92; forC. glabrata , 0.07; and forC. parapsilosis , 2.61. The PK/PD targets for 1-log10 kill endpoint were 2- to 4-fold higher. Interestingly, the aforementioned PK/PD targets of CD101 were numerically lower for all three species than those of other echinocandins. In summary, CD101 is a promising, novel echinocandin with advantageous pharmacokinetic properties and potentin vivo pharmacodynamic activity.
