Informations sur le produit

Amphotericin B is a potent antifungal agent widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating serious fungal infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. This polyene macrolide antibiotic is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces nodosus and is primarily used in clinical settings to combat life-threatening infections such as cryptococcal meningitis and systemic candidiasis. Its unique mechanism of action involves binding to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, leading to increased permeability and cell death, making it a critical component in antifungal therapy.

In addition to its clinical applications, Amphotericin B is also utilized in research settings to study fungal biology and the development of resistance mechanisms. Its formulation can be adapted for various delivery methods, including liposomal preparations, which enhance its therapeutic index and reduce toxicity. Researchers and healthcare professionals value Amphotericin B not only for its efficacy but also for its versatility in addressing a range of fungal pathogens, making it an indispensable tool in both medical and scientific fields.
