Research Area: Infection
Biological Activity:
Amphotericin B is a polyene, antifungal antibiotic produced from a strain of Streptomyces nodosus. (IC50=0.028–0.290 μg/ml) [1] It has been the most effective systemic antifungal agent. [2] For Histoplasma and Blastomyces infections the mean effective dose (ED50) of amphotericin B was 0.3 mg/kg, whereas the corresponding values for AME, respectively, were 2.4 and 2.8 mg/kg. For Cryptococcus infection the ED50 for amphotericin B was 0.2 mg/kg compared with 2.0 mg/kg for AME. The ED50 of amphotericin B for Candida infection was lower than 0.05 mg/kg and the value of AME was between 0.5 to 0.05 mg/kg. [3]
