It belongs to the echinocandin class and functions as a potent inhibitor of β-(1,3)-D-glucan synthase, an enzyme essential for fungal cell wall synthesis. By disrupting cell wall formation, it exhibits strong activity against Candida and Aspergillus species. Pneumocandin B₀ is a naturally occurring cyclic lipopeptide antifungal compound produced by fungal fermentation (notably Glarea lozoyensis).
