NanoDisk containing super aggregated amphotericin B: a high therapeutic index antifungal formulation with enhanced potency.

Objectives: NanoDisk-amphotericin B (ND-AMB) is a protein-phospholipid bioparticle containing a "super aggregate" form of antifungal AMB. While lipid-based formulations of AMB, including liposomal AMB (L-AMB), are safer than the deoxycholate (DOC) solubilized form (DOC-AMB), the potency of lipid-based formulations is attenuated. We have developed an AMB-based therapy that is both well tolerated and fully efficacious.
