  • Objective Amphotericin B (AmB) was a polyene antifungal agent. Because of its lowest resistance rate and broad antibiotic spectrum, AmB was considered as a "gold standard" for the treatment of deep fungal infections. However, the occurrence of toxicity and serious side effects, especially renal toxicity, greatly limited the application of AmB in clinical antifungal therapy. Due to the lack of antifungal with high efficiency and low toxicity, the combination of antifungal agents with different mechanisms of action was a promising research direction. The advantage of the combinations was the course of treatment shortened, drug side effects reduced, the antibacterial spectrum expanded, and drug resistance avoided. The research progress in the combined use of AmB with different types of antifungal compounds were introduced in this article.

Abstract: Objective Amphotericin B (AmB) was a polyene antifungal agent. Because of its lowest resistance rate and broad antibiotic spectrum, AmB was considered as a "gold standard" for the treatment of deep fungal infections. However, the occurrence of toxicity and serious side effects, especially renal toxicity, greatly limited the application of AmB in clinical antifungal therapy. Due to the lack of antifungal with high efficiency and low toxicity, the combination of antifungal agents with different mechanisms of action was a promising research direction. The advantage of the combinations was the course of treatment shortened, drug side effects reduced, the antibacterial spectrum expanded, and drug resistance avoided. The research progress in the combined use of AmB with different types of antifungal compounds were introduced in this article.
