“…Theoretically, AmB could be located either in the oily core of emulsion droplets or at the interface. However, because AmB is not soluble either in soybean oil or in medium‐chain fatty acids,40 we assume that it is located in the phospholipid monolayer, as already suggested by Washington et al41…”

“…Amphotericin B (AmB), discovered in 1945 by Gold et al,1 remains the drug of choice for the treatment of systemic fungal infections 2. This huge active compound, which has a molecular weight of 924.11,3 presents a low solubility in water and other pharmaceutical adjuvant solutions3 that does not permit it to be easily put into a suitable vehicle for the body. Because of these characteristics, AmB has been used for 50 years in the same way, as a dispersed system in water4,5; for example, a buffered micellar solution (Fungizone™),4 or small unilamellar liposomes (Ambisome™), a colloidal dispersion (ABCD, Amphocil™, or Amphotec™), and lipid complex (ABLC or Abelcet™) in recent years 5.…”

“…Trata-se de um fármaco poliênico, anfipático, produzido naturalmente pelo actinomiceto Streptomyces nodosus. A molécula possui uma estrutura macrocíclica, com 37 carbonos fechados por lactonização (Ganis et al, 1971;Asher, Schurartzman, 1977) (Figura 1). A sua atividade pode ser fungistática ou fungicida, dependendo do microorganismo em questão, e da concentração de pico sérico.…”

“…É associada a efeitos colaterais, principalmente nefrotoxicidade, por possuir afinidade ao colesterol e outros componentes da célula mamífera (Brajtburg, Bolard, 1996). Devido a sua alta hidrofobicidade, a droga não solubiliza em meio aquoso (Hillery, 1997), se tornando então, pouco solúvel na grande maioria dos solventes, solubilizando somente em DMSO, vesículas de lectina, e esteróis de membranas naturais (Asher, Schurartzman, 1977).…”
