Amphotericin B, solublized is a solubilized form of the polyene antifungal or antimycotic, amphotericin B. Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal or antimycotic compound derived from Streptomyces nodosus.
Standard powder amphotericin B is nearly insoluble in water and requires the addition of sodium deoxycholate to maximize solubility.
Mechanism of Action
Amphotericin B associates with membrane sterols in mammalian and fungal cell membranes. Amphotericin B forms a pore in these membranes leading to essential ion leakage and ultimately, cell death.
CAS Number: 1397-89-3 (Amphotericin B)
Molecular Formula: C47H73NO17 (Amphotericin B)
Molecular Weight: 924.08 (Amphotericin B)
Solubility: 0.05% in H2O: hazy yellow solution
Source: Streptomyces nodosus
Assay: (As Is): ≥240 µg/mg
Impurities
Mycoplasma: None detected
Endotoxin: ≤40 EU/mg
Spectrum
Amphotericin B is active against mammalian and fungal (molds and yeasts) cells. Amphotericin B is not toxic to bacteria due to their lack of sterols.
The following represents MIC susceptibility data for amphotericin B against common fungal pathogens:
• Candida albicans - 0.001 - 321 μg/mL
• Candida krusei - 0.001 - 16 μg/mL
• Coccidioides immitis - 0.0625 - 2 μg/mL
• Cryptococcus neoformans - 0.2 - 39 μg/mL
• Fusarium oxysporum - 0.75 - 125 μg/mL
Microbiology Applications
Amphotericin B is used as an antimycotic selective agent in several routinely used selective media formulations to inhibit the growth of background fungal growth.
Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications
Amphotericin B can be used in eukaryotic cell culture to control or prevent fungal contamination. Amphotericin B can be toxic to cell lines at high concentrations and should not be used at concentrations greater than 2.50 µg/mL.
