Micafungin (trade name Mycamine) is an echinocandin antifungal drug used to treat and prevent invasive fungal infections including candidemia, abscesses and esophageal candidiasis. It inhibits the production of beta-1,3-glucan, an essential component of fungal cell walls. Micafungin is administered intravenously. It received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on March 16, 2005, and gained approval in the European Union on April 25, 2008.
The application discloses application of micafungin in preparation of a medicine for inhibiting fungi, and application of combination of micafungin and trifloxystrobin in preparation of the medicine for inhibiting fungi, especially for inhibiting Magnaporthe grisea. It is found by the application that micafungin has an inhibiting effect on Magnaporthe grisea. The combination of micafungin and trifloxystrobin has a synergistic effect, can overcome the drug resistance of Magnaporthe grisea with trifloxystrobin resistance, and improve the antibacterial effect on Magnaporthe grisea. It is found by the application that micafungin has a broad-spectrum antifungal effect, and has an inhibiting effect on other fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Vibrio cholerae and Aspergillus niger in addition to Magnaporthe grisea.
