Function and Application
Amphotericin B is an antifungal medication that fights infections caused by fungus.
Amphotericin B is used to treat serious, life-threatening fungal infections. It is not for use in treating a minor fungal infection such as a yeast infection of the mouth, esophagus, or vagina.
Amphotericin B may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces nodosus, with antifungal activity. Amphotericin B binds to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, thereby causing depolarization of the membrane and altering cell membrane permeability. This leads to leakage of important intracellular components, cell rupture, and eventually cell death. This agent may also induce oxidative damage in fungal cells and has been reported to stimulate host immune cells.
Indications
Used for visceral or systemic infections caused by Cryptococcus, Coccidioides, Histoplasma capsularis, Blastomyces, Sporothrix, Candida, Mucor, Aspergillus, etc.
