3 FIGURE 2 Sites of action and mechanisms of systemic antifungal agents. FKS1, FKS2 catalytic subunits of the glucan synthase complex are the putative target binding site of echinocandins. Rho is a cell wall-regulating protein. *Isavuconazole is still in phase 3 trials.

4 FIGURE 3 Spectrum of action of systemic antifungal agents. Solid blocks represent species in which the antifungal agent has demonstrated microbiological and clinical efficacy. Blocks with dotted lines indicate fungal genera/species in which resistance is common. AMB = amphotericin; ANID = anidulafungin; CAS = caspofungin; 5-FC = flucytosine; FLU = fluconazole; ITRA = itraconazole; MICA = micafungin; POSA = posaconazole; VORI = voriconazole.

5 FIGURE 4 Common toxicities of antifungal agents. CNS = central nervous system; 5-FC = flucytosine; GI = gastrointestinal; IV = intravenous; QTc = corrected QT interval.
