Abstract
In recent years, new formulations of the original amphotericin B preparation (Fungizone) have been devised in order to overcome toxicity problems that frequently occur. These preparations represent an improved method of drug delivery, with an increased therapeutic index and a decrease in toxicity to mammalian cell membranes. The new formulations have different physico-chemical characteristics and differ in pharmacokinetic parameters. Their effects must be compared with conventional amphotericin B to ascertain potential roles in future antifungal therapy.Entities:
