Water-Soluble Nystatin and Derivative.

ABSTRACT: Fungal infections are increasingly causing more morbidity and mortality, especially for immunocompromised people. In recent years, there is growing evidence that new medicine-resistant fungal strains are posing added challenges in the clinic. Nystatin is a known antifungal from the polyene family. Due to Nystatin limited solubility and high toxicity, it is used mainly to treat oral and dermal fungal infections. In search for new Nystatin derivatives and formulations, we obtained amide derivatives and a deoxycholate formulation that were not described previously for this compound. Furthermore, we tested the potency of the derivatives and formulation by the USP(81) method and minimum inhibitory concentration of Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Additionally, the in vitro
