Levorin, with the CAS number 11014-70-3, is an antifungal agent primarily used in the treatment of fungal infections. It is a polyene macrolide antibiotic, structurally related to nystatin and amphotericin B, and is known for its ability to bind to ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This binding disrupts the membrane integrity, leading to cell death. Levorin is particularly effective against a range of fungi, including Candida species. It is typically administered topically or orally, depending on the type and severity of the infection. The substance is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which can affect its bioavailability and absorption. Levorin's efficacy and safety profile make it a valuable option in antifungal therapy, although potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal disturbances and allergic reactions, should be monitored. As with all medications, its use should be guided by a healthcare professional, considering the specific clinical context and patient factors.
