Background

Ibrexafungerp, also known as SCY-078 or MK-3118, is a novel enfumafungin derivative oral triterpene antifungal approved for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), also known as a vaginal yeast infection.1,9 It was developed out of a need to treat fungal infections that may have become resistant to echinocandins or azole antifungals.1 Ibrexafungerp is orally bioavailable compared to the echinocandins caspofungin, micafungin, and anidulafungin; which can only be administered parenterally.1,2 Similar to echinocandins, ibrexafungerp targets the fungal β-1,3-glucan synthase, which is not present in humans, limiting the chance of renal or hepatic toxicity.6,9

Ibrexafungerp was granted FDA approval on 1 June 2021.9

Pharmacodynamics

Ibrexafungerp is an enfumafungin derivative oral triterpene antifungal approved for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis.1,9 It has a moderate duration of action, as it is taken twice daily, and a wide therapeutic index as patients took more than the recommended dose in clinical trials without severe adverse effects.9 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of fetal toxicity.9

Mechanism of action

β-1,3-glucan synthase is composed of a catalytic subunit, FKS1 or FKS2, and a GTP-binding regulatory subunit, Rho1.5,6 This synthase is involved in the synthesis of β-1,3-glucan, a fungal cell wall component.6

Ibrexafungerp acts similarly to the echinocandin antifungals, by inhibiting the synthesis of β-1,3-glucan synthase.1,9 While echinocandins bind to the FKS1 domain of β-1,3-glucan synthase, enfumafungin and its derivatives bind at an alternate site which allows them to maintain their activity against fungal infections that are resistant to echinocandins.3,4

Ibrexafungerp has been shown in animal studies to distribute well to vaginal tissue, making it a favourable treatment for vulvovaginal candidiasis.4

Absorption

Ibrexafungerp given at a dose of 300 mg twice daily reaches a Cmax of 435 ng/mL, with a Tmax of 4-6 hours, and an AUC0-24 of 6832 h*ng/mL.7,9

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution at steady state is approximately 600 L.9

Protein binding

Ibrexafungerp is 99.5-99.8% protein bound in plasma, mainly to albumin.1,9

Metabolism

Ibrexafungerp is hydroxylated by CYP3A4 before glucuronide or sulfate conjugation of the hydroxyl group before elimination.8,9

Route of elimination

90% of a radiolabelled oral dose of ibrexafungerp is recovered in the feces, with 51% as the unchanged parent drug.9 1% of a radiolabelled oral dose is recovered in the urine.9

Half-life

The elimination half life of ibrexafungerp is approximately 20 hours.7,9

Clearance

Clearance values of 53.6 L/h and 56.1 L/h have been reported.7

Toxicity

Data regarding overdoses of ibrexafungerp are not readily available, however patients did take higher than recommended doses in clinical trials without significant adverse effects.9 Patients experiencing an overdose of ibrexafungerp may experience and increased risk and severity of adverse effects. Patients should be treated with symptomatic and supportive measures.9

Acts as a central regulator in the cell wall integrity signaling pathway, which is regulated by the cell cycle and in response to various types of cell wall stress. Integrates signals from different cell surface sensors, and activates a set of effectors, regulating processes including beta-glucan synthesis at the site of wall remodeling, gene expression related to cell wall biogenesis, organization of the actin cytoskeleton, and protein- and secretory vesicle-targeting to the growth site. Activates the protein kinase C (PKC1) MAP kinase cascade, the beta-1,3-glucan synthase (FKS1), the formin BNI1, the exocyst component SEC3 and the transcription factor SKN7.
