Echinocandin B is a cyclic hexapeptide echinocandin antibiotic isolated from Aspergillus nidulans var. echinulatus with specific anti-yeast activity. It inhibits beta-1,3-glucan synthesis and thus attacks the cell wall of fungi.

| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.

| Bialaphos Sodium Salt
Bialaphos Sodium Salt is a tripeptide antibiotic that is employed in the transformation experiments of many species of plants that make use of the bar gene for selection. It is more effective than glufosinate in corn. In wheat, bialaphos was the most reliable selection criteria used to identify bar transformed plants. |
| Plazomicin Sulfate
Plazomicin Sulfate is a derivative of Sisomicin and a novel aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner, with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, and can be used in studies related to pyelonephritis. |
