Fosmanogepix is an experimental antifungal drug being developed by Amplyx Pharmaceuticals (now currently by Pfizer and Basilea^[1]^[2]) It is being investigated for its potential to treat various fungal infections including aspergillosis, candidaemia, and coccidioidomycosis.^[3]

Fosmanogepix is a prodrug and is converted into the active drug form, manogepix in vivo.^[4] Manogepix targets the enzyme GWT1 (Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored Wall protein Transfer 1^[5]), an enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthesis pathway.^[6] Inhibiting this enzyme prevents the fungi from properly modifying certain (so called GPI-anchored) proteins essential to the fungal life cycle. This mechanism of action is totally novel; therefore, if approved, fosmanogepix would become a first-in-class medication.^[6]^[7]

In 2023, the drug was given a compassionate use authorization for four patients with Fusarium solani meningitis.^[8]
