Amphotericin B methyl ester (also known as metamphocin), a more soluble and less toxic formulation of amphotericin B, is a new antifungal polyene antibiotic, which was studied to treat ocular mycoses and was proposed to treat Candida endophthalmitis. The suggested mechanism of its action includes the binding of this drug with the ergosterol-containing membranes.

Sample Use Guides

8 patients with keratomycosis and 2 patients with fungal endophthalmitis: drop-like intravenous injections
Route of Administration: Intravenous
The in vitro susceptibility of amphotericin B methyl ester (AME) was determined for C. albicans isolates recovered from endophthalmitis (N=10) and for C. albicans ATCC reference strain 90028 using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute M27-A2 (NCCLS/CLSI) broth dilution method. All isolates were obtained from samples of vitreous humor of patients with suspected endophthalmitis within the last 5 years at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (Miami, FL). The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of AME was (0.125-1 μg/mL). The MIC(90) was equal (1 μg/mL). The minimal fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) of AME was (0.125-2 μg/mL).
