Nystatin-induced lipid vesicles permeabilization is strongly dependent on sterol structure
The selectivity of the antibiotic nystatin towards ergosterol compared to cholesterol is believed to be a crucial factor in its specificity for fungi. In order to define the structural features of sterols that control this effect, nystatin interaction ...

Nystatin changes the properties of transporters for arginine and sugars An in vitro study
In ergosterol-containing energized yeast plasma membrane vesicles nystatin (5–10 μg/mg total lipid) caused a massive efflux of pre-accumulated arginine while the membrane potential (the principal driving force; −110 mV) decreased by only 10–30 mV ...
