Σύνδεση Πρωτεϊνών

Highly (>99%) protein bound in vitro, independent of plasma concentrations over the range of 10 to 100 &micro;g/mL. The primary binding protein is albumin; however, micafungin, at therapeutically relevant concentrations, does not competitively displace bilirubin binding to albumin. Micafungin also binds to a lesser extent to a<sub>1</sub>-acid-glycoprotein.
