Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including: http://www.drugs.com/monograph/amphotericin-b.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphotericin_B#cite_note-45 http://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB00681

Amphotericin B used to treat progressive, potentially life-threatening fungal infections, such as oral thrush, vaginal candidiasis and esophageal candidiasis in patients with normal neutrophil counts. Also, Amphotericin B is often used in otherwise-untreatable protozoan infections such as visceral leishmaniasis and primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. As with other polyene antifungals, amphotericin B binds with ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membranes, forming a transmembrane channel that leads to monovalent ion (K+, Na+, H+ and Cl−) leakage, which is the primary effect leading to fungal cell death. When administered concurrently, the following drugs may interact with amphotericin B: Antineoplastic agents, Corticosteroids and Corticotropin (ACTH); Digitalis glycosides; Flucytosine; Imidazoles (e.g., ketoconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole, fluconazole, etc.); Zidovudine; Skeletal muscle relaxants (tubocurarine); Rifabutin; Leukocyte transfusions. The adverse reactions most commonly observed are: fever; malaise; weight loss; hypotension; tachypnea; anorexia; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; dyspepsia; cramping epigastric pain; normochromic, normocytic anemia; pain at the injection site with or without phlebitis or thrombophlebitis; generalized pain, including muscle and joint pains; headache; decreased renal function and renal function abnormalities.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Amphotericin B remains the standard of treatment for certain CNS infections, such as cryptococcal meningitis

Originator

Curator's Comment: Amphotericin B was originally extracted from Streptomyces nodosus in 1955 at the Squibb Institute for Medical Research. The first synthesis of the Amphotericin B was achieved in 1988 at the University of Pennsylvania. Today X-gen Pharms (formerly Pharma Tek) develop conventional Amphotericin B for Injection (approved since 1992).

AMPHOTERICIN B

Approved Use

Amphotericin B for Injection USP should be administered primarily to patients with progressive, potentially life-threatening fungal infections. This potent drug should not be used to treat noninvasive fungal infections, such as oral thrush, vaginal candidiasis and esophageal candidiasis in patients with normal neutrophil counts. Amphotericin B for Injection USP is specifically intended to treat potentially life-threatening fungal infections: aspergillosis, cryptococcosis (torulosis), North American blastomycosis, systemic candidiasis, coccidioido-mycosis, histoplasmosis, zygomycosis including mucormycosis due to susceptible species of the genera Absidia, Mucor and Rhizopus, and infections due to related susceptible species of Conidiobolus and Basidiobolus, and sporotrichosis. Amphotericin B may be useful in the treatment of American mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, but it is not the drug of choice as primary therapy.

AMPHOTERICIN B
Created by admin on Mon Mar 31 17:36:42 GMT 2025 , Edited by admin on Mon Mar 31 17:36:42 GMT 2025
PRIMARY Description: A yellow to orange powder; odourless or almost odourless. Solubility: Practically insoluble in water, ethanol (~750 g/l) TS, toluene R and ether R; soluble in 200 parts of dimethylformamide R and in 20 parts of dimethyl sulfoxide R, slightly soluble in methanol R. Category: Antifungal drug. Storage: Amphotericin B should be kept in a tightly closed container, protected from light, and stored at a temperature between 2 and 8 ?C. Labelling: The designation Amphotericin B for parenteral use indicates that the substance complies with the altered and additional requirements for Amphotericin B and may be used for parenteral administration. Additional information: Even in the absence of light, Amphotericin B is gradually degraded on exposure to a humid atmosphere, the decomposition being faster at higher temperatures. In diluted solutions it is sensitive to light and is inactivated at low pH values. Definition: Amphotericin B contains not less than 750 μg per mg, calculated with reference to the dried substance.
