Antileishmanial activity of nano-amphotericin B deoxycholate.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of a nano form of amphotericin B deoxycholate with that of conventional amphotericin B deoxycholate for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. METHODS We have formulated nanoparticles (10-20 nM) from amphotericin B deoxycholate (1-2 microM) by applying high-pressure (150 argon) milling homogenization and have tested their e...
متن کاملComparison of antifungal activity of amphotericin B deoxycholate suspension with that of amphotericin B cholesteryl sulfate colloidal dispersion.
Complexing amphotericin B (AmB) with lipids or entrapping it in liposomes may increase its efficacy by reducing toxicity and affecting distribution. However, depending on the lipids involved, interference with antifungal activity has been shown. We compared the in vitro activity of AmB colloidal dispersion by cholesteryl sulfate (ABCD) to the standard AmB deoxycholate suspension (ABDS) against ...
متن کاملIn vitro activities of amphotericin B deoxycholate and liposomal amphotericin B against 604 clinical yeast isolates
We determined the in vitro antifungal activity of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) against 604 clinical yeast isolates. Amphotericin B deoxycholate (D-AmB) was tested in parallel against all the isolates. Susceptibility testing was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M27-A3 method. Overall, L-AmB was highly active against the isolates (mean MIC, 0.42 µg...
متن کاملInfluence of amphotericin B deoxycholate or amphotericin B colloidal dispersion on renal tubule epithelium in rat.
Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB) or Amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD) are used in clinics for the treatment of systemic fungal infections. The goal of our study was to compare the nephrotoxicity of these drugs in rat kidney. The effects of AmB and ABCD on the ultrastructure of the epithelium of renal tubules were studied and evaluated using morphometric and statistical methods. Two gr...
متن کاملComparative efficacies of amphotericin B lipid complex and amphotericin B deoxycholate suspension against murine blastomycosis.
Amphotericin B as a lipid complex and as a deoxycholate suspension (Fungizone) was tested against murine blastomycosis. All doses of each form prolonged survival (P less than 0.05 to 0.001). Fungizone was more effective than lipid complex at doses of 0.8 mg/kg of body weight. However, lipid complex at 12.8 mg/kg was not toxic and superior in efficacy (P less than 0.001) to 2.0 mg of Fungizone p...
