In vitro antifungal activities of amphotericin B and liposome-encapsulated amphotericin B [PDF]
The in vitro activities of liposome-encapsulated amphotericin B and free amphotericin B against Candida albicans 336 were comparable. Amphotericin B concentrations 12-fold and greater than 50-fold higher were required to kill the same organism when cholesterol and ergosterol were incorporated into the liposomes. The addition of cholesterol to liposomes
