Beschreibung

Amphotericin A is a polyene antifungal drug that binds to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane and disrupts membrane permeability. It is used clinically to treat systemic fungal infections, including cryptococcal meningitis, cryptococcal pneumonia, and candidiasis. Amphotericin A has been shown to inhibit growth factor-mediated protein synthesis in mammalian cells. Amphotericin A has been shown to be effective against a mutant strain of Coccidioides immitis that is resistant to rifampin, but not against other strains of this fungus. It also inhibits the methylation of DNA by a nitrogen atom transferase enzyme in Cryptococcus neoformans.
