Nystatin A1 is the one of the first member of important class of a macrocyclic polyene and poly-ol antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces noursei in 1950. Nystatin A1 binds to ergosterol, a major component of the fungal cell membrane. When present in sufficient concentrations, it forms pores in the membrane that lead to K+ leakage, acidification, and death of the fungus. Nystatin A1 is major component of Nystatin an important antifungal antibiotic, which for over half a century has been broadly used in medicine for the treatment of topical fungal infections caused by a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens comprising yeast-like and filamentous species.
