Description

Amphotericin B is a polyene anti-fungal antibiotic from Streptomyces nodosus that non-specifically induces loss of low molecular weight substances from cells. It binds to sterols and disrupts osmotic integrity of fungal membranes, forming pores which leads to the leakage of essential ions, causing cell death.

Applications

• Amphotericin B is used to control contamination from fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

• Treatment of serious, life-threatening fungal infections. Not to be used for treatment of minor fungal infections.

USE

Cell culture antibiotic. For research use only. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. / One of the main uses of amphotericin B is treating a wide range of systemic fungal infections. Due to its extensive side effects, it is often reserved for severe infections in critically ill, or immunocompromised patients. It is considered first line therapy for invasive mucormycosis infections, cryptococcal meningitis, and certain aspergillus and candidal infections.
