In vivo distribution and therapeutic efficacy of a novel amphotericin B poly-aggregated formulation

Abstract

Although the efficacy in the candidiasis treatment was decreased as a consequence of amphotericin B aggregation, it can be compensated by the possibility of increasing the doses with lower nephrotoxicity. Moreover, due to its lower toxicity while maintaining its effectiveness, the poly-aggregated formulations (P-AMB and MP-AMB) have a better therapeutic index than the conventional formulation (D-AMB).
