Biological activities

Amphotericin B is an important fungal drug. Amphotericin B remains the drug of choice for treating most systemic mycoses caused by opportunistic fungi.[1] The MIC of amphotericin B for the C. tropicalis isolate, C. glabrata and the C. krusei isolate are 0.39, 0.2 and 0.78 µg/mL, respectively. [2] Amphotericin B is susceptible to C. pseudotropicalis 311, C. albicans 315, C. neoformans 316, C. parapsilosis 356, C. glabrata 359 and C. glabrata B57149b with IC50 of 7.2, 2.2, 1.0, 6.0, 1.9 and 4.6 µM, respectively. [3] In a neutropenic mouse model, amphotericin B produces prolonged dose-dependent suppression of growth after serum levels have fallen below the MIC. [4]

Protocols

Amphotericin B solution is prepared by dissolving the stabilized deoxycholate suspension in DMSO to yield a stock solution concentration of 5,000 µg/mL. [2]
