34+ ### Mechanism of Action
35+
36+ | Component | Target | Function |
37+ | ------------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
38+ | Echinocandin (micafungin) | β-glucan synthase | Disrupts fungal cell wall synthesis |
39+ | β-1,3-Glucanase | Extracellular matrix | Liquefies polysaccharide ECM |
40+ | Ga³⁺ + EDTA | Metal metabolism | Iron substitution & chelation |
41+
42+ This tri-modal mechanism produces a ** superlinear reduction** in residual viability:
43+
44+ \[
45+ \Phi_ {\text{TCL}} = \eta_ {\text{ech}} \cdot \eta_ {\text{enz}} \cdot \left( 1 - \frac{[ Fe^{3+}] _ {\text{biofilm}}}{[ Fe^{3+}] _ 0} \right)
46+ \]
47+
48+ Where the combined inhibition terms result in complete matrix collapse and ≥3-log biofilm reduction within 90 minutes.
