Abstract
Liposomal amphotericin B is a lipid formulation of the antifungal drug amphotericin B with some distinguishing characteristics in its pharmacological behavior that entail some clinical differences of great interest. The significant improvement in the systemic and renal tolerability is one of them. This fact is related to the great stability of the liposome, promoted by its negative charge, the presence of cholesterol and the remarkable thermo-stability of the remaining lipids that compose it. In this situation, amphotericin B seems to be released from the liposome not spontaneously but when the liposome binds to the ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane. For this reason, there is almost no free amphotericin B in plasma or tissues, although it seems that its availability is greater when there is fungal infection. As a consequence, when the pharmacokinetic behavior is studied, the concentration and availability of liposomal amphotericin B are very high, and its volume of distribution is reduced in comparison with the other formulations.
期刊介绍:
Revista Iberoamericana de Micología (Ibero-American Journal of Mycology) is the official journal of the Asociación Española de Micología, Asociación Venezolana de Micología and Asociación Argentina de Micología (The Spanish, Venezuelan, and Argentinian Mycology Associations). The Journal gives priority to publishing articles on studies associated with fungi and their pathogenic action on humans and animals, as well as any scientific studies on any aspect of mycology. The Journal also publishes, in Spanish and in English, original articles, reviews, mycology forums, editorials, special articles, notes, and letters to the editor, that have previously gone through a scientific peer review process.
