Nikkomycin Z（Cat No.:I015021）is a potent antifungal agent derived from Streptomyces species, primarily used in the treatment of fungal infections. It inhibits the synthesis of chitin, a key component of fungal cell walls, by targeting chitin synthase. This disruption weakens the fungal cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. Nikkomycin Z is especially effective against Candida species and certain other pathogenic fungi. It has gained interest in clinical and pharmaceutical research for its potential in treating fungal infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
