Amphotericin B associated with triglyceride-rich nanoemulsion: stability studies and in vitro antifungal activity

Abstract: Recebido em 16/5/07; aceito em 27/9/07; publicado na web em 2/4/08 Amphotericin B (AB) is the standard drug for invasive fungal infection therapy. It has a broad spectrum of activity and it is the best antifungal available against most yeasts and molds. Its therapeutic use, however, is limited by significant side effects, leading to a low therapeutic index when it is used as the traditional formulation (Fungizone®). Due to self-association, AB can form pores in cholesterol-containing membranes. We propose a tr… Show more

“…The AMPH B-driven strong reduction of Δ gcs cells' stiffness (60%, Figure 3 ) may be due to a synergistic effect between the pores formed by this antifungal drug at cell surface and the lack of GlcCer in the cell membrane. As the binding of AMPH B to ergosterol is irreversible (Filippin et al, 2008 ), together with GlcCer absence in C. albicans cells, there is no way for the cell to repair the damage caused by antifungal action in the cell surface, becoming unstable and with a lower resistance (Leipelt et al, 2001 ).…”

“…47 A presença de colesterol como cossurfactante tem sido relatada em alguns estudos, com o objetivo de fornecer maior rigidez à monocamada de surfactantes e, assim, aumentar a estabilidade das emulsões. 14,48 Existe, ainda, a possibilidade de adicionar-se tensoativos aniôni-cos, como ácido deoxicólico ou ácido oleico, por exemplo, visando conferir maior carga negativa à interface e, consequentemente, maior repulsão eletrostática entre as gotículas. 8,9 A adição de lipídeos catiônicos, como estearilamina, oleilamina, DOTAP, DOTMA, DOPE, entre outros, contendo grupamentos amino em suas estruturas, visam a administração de ácidos nucleicos.…”

“…77 Entretanto, outras técnicas mais precisas têm sido descritas, como a centrifugação, que exige a validação do tempo (que pode ser teoricamente calculado) e da velocidade de centrifugação, de forma a garantir que somente os cristais livres precipitem, em totalidade, para serem posterioremente lavados, dissolvidos em solvente adequado e quantificados. 48,70,78 Alguns autores têm utilizado também a cromatografia em coluna Sephadex, visando a separação das frações contendo o fármaco livre e associado, para posterior quantificação por cromatografia de alta eficiência. 12,55 Existem ainda as técnicas que se baseiam na passagem do fár-maco livre através de membranas de tamanho de poro conhecido: a ultrafiltração/centrifugação, que é a mais utilizada, e a microdiálise.…”

“…Such systems were proven to appropriately deliver lipophilic drugs such as cyclosporine A, saquinavir, ritonavir and halofantrine (Charman et al, 1992;Holm et al, 2002). A soybean lecithin-based nanoemulsion enriched with triacylglycerols was used for efficient delivery of Amphotericin B (Filippin et al, 2008). An additional example represents solid lipid nanoparticles which were shown to not only deliver glucocorticoids, but also to enhance drug penetration into the skin (Schlupp et al, 2011).…”
