Abstract

Amphotericin B (AmB) is an effective and commonly used antifungal agent. However, nephrotoxicity and poor solubility limits its usage. The proposed polymerized cyclodextrin (pCD) system therefore is an attractive method for AmB delivery, as it retains the antifungal activity of AmB while decreasing toxicity, and confining drug release to the local environment. This system could potentially be used for both prevention and treatment of established fungal infections, as AmB is toxic to fungus whether associated or released from pCD.
