- W2052392332 abstract "Amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice for the treatment of systemic fungal infections, but its use is hampered by its severe side-effects. A better understanding of its mechanisms of action is needed to develop new AmB formulations with an optimal selectivity between fungal and mammalian cells. Interactions between AmB and cells depend on the concentration of the drug. Stimulatory effects, modulation of the activity of immunocompetent cells and inhibition of yeast adherence are early events that precede the actual cellular toxicity. If membrane permeability alterations are considered to be the first toxic step, cell death results not only from osmotic imbalances, but also from additional mechanisms, such as lipid peroxidation, inhibition of membrane enzymes and blockade of endocytosis. The selectivity between fungal and mammalian cells takes its origin from the difference in the nature of the membrane sterol: ergosterol in fungi, cholesterol in mammalian cells. Transmembrane pores result from different mechanisms according to the sterol: ergosterol-AmB complexes are formed from monomelic AmB in solution, which is the only form present in aqueous medium at low AmB concentrations, whereas pores in the cholesterol containing membrane result from the adsorption onto the membrane surface of aqueous self-associated AmB, that appears in medium when AmB concentration increases. The liposomes seem to sequester AmB in a manner which makes it unavailable for mammalian cells, but maintains its access to fungal cells. The transfer of AmB by progressive diffusion of free AmB through the aqueous phase could explain the enhancement of the therapeutic index of the drug by liposomes, since the induction of pore formation needs a higher threshold of drug for host cell than for fungal cell membranes. The closed structure of the vehicle is not required to enhance the selectivity of the drug: esters of sucrose or high concentration of sodium deoxycholate afford a protective effect as well. Macrophages, after phagocytosis of liposomal AmB, may be considered as a reservoir of AmB, from which the drug is progressively released. Finally, the strong binding of AmB to the delivery system reduces the amount of drug bound to serum components and thus the endocytosis of AmB through the LDL receptor, resulting in lower toxicity." @default.
