The Uses of Isavuconazonium sulfate

Isavuconazonium Sulfate can be prepared to be used as an antifungal drug.

Definition

ChEBI: An azaheterocycle sulfate salt that is a prodrug for isavuconazole, an antifungal agent used for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis.

Metabolism

Isavuconazonium sulfate (Cresemba) is the water-soluble prodrug of isavuconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal triazoles with activity against yeasts, molds, and dimorphic fungi and available as intravenous solution and as capsules for oral administration. Isavuconazonium sulfate is metabolized mainly by serum butylcholinesterase to isavuconazole. Isavuconazole is metabolized to inactive metabolites in the liver via CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 isoenzymes and uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyl transferase[1].
