Caspofungin is composed of a cyclic hexapeptide with an N-terminus acylated by a carboxylic acid chain. The chemical structure contains a 3-hydroxy-proline residue, 3,4-dihydroxy-homotyrosine residue, 3-hydroxy-ornithine residue, 4-hydroxy-5-ethylenediamino-ornithine residue, 4-hydroxy-proline residue, and a threonine residue. It is a derivative of pneumoncandin B0 <ref>https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Caspofungin#section=Top</ref>. | Caspofungin is composed of a cyclic hexapeptide with an N-terminus acylated by a carboxylic acid chain.
