The mechanism of the hemolytic activity of polyene antibiotics.
The kinetics of the filipin-, amphotericin B- and nystatin-induced hemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. Filipin-induced hemolysis is of the damage type. It is an all-or-none process, partly inhibited by Ca2+ or Ba2+ but not by Mg2+, Na+ or SO42-. The hemolytic activity of filipin is explained by the formation of large aggregates within the erythrocyte membrane in the form of large...
متن کاملPolyene Antifungal Antibiotics
ZYGMUNT, WALTER A. (Mead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, Ind.). Intracellular loss of potassium in Candida albicans after exposure to polyene antifungal antibiotics. Appl. Microbiol. 14:953-956. 1966.-Eleven antifungal antibiotics, representing three broad macrolide classes, were studied in Candida albicans for their effect on growth and on the fate of intracellular K+. Marked differences ...
متن کاملThe polyene macrolide antibiotics.
The mode of action of the polyene antibiotics is reviewed together with the effect of genetic and environmental factors on sensitive organisms. The future prospects of polyenes in the treatment of systemic mycoses are considered.
متن کاملProtection against neurotoxicity by an autophagic mechanism
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) on a 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced cellular model of Parkinson's disease (PD) and to illustrate the potential mechanism of autophagy in this process. For this purpose, rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells were treated with MPP+ (1 mM) for 24 h following pretreatment with NBP (0.1 mM). Cell meta...
متن کاملPotentiation of antiviral activity of acyclovir by polyene macrolide antibiotics.
The potentiation of the antiviral activity of acyclovir [9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine] by polyene macrolide antibiotics has been studied as a function of the macrolide structure. The 12 polyenes chosen for this study represented the major structural groups of these antibiotics and induced in mammalian cells repairable membrane alterations or irreversible cell damage. The potentiating acti...
