Comparative study on the efficacy of AmBisome and Fungizone in a mouse model of pulmonary aspergillosis
2006
Results: AmBisome at a dose of ‡1 mg/kg significantly prolonged the survival time of infected mice compared with the control group. At the maximum tolerated dose, 10 mg/kg AmBisome exhibited greater efficacy than 1 mg/kg Fungizone in terms of increasing survival and reducing the fungal burden. The pulmonary AMB concentration of 10 mg/kg AmBisome was higher than that of 1 mg/kg Fungizone. Tissue distribution analysis showed that AmBisome was localized at the infection site in the lung, and this might explain the potent in vivo efficacy in this infection model.
