Product Description
Amphotericin B methyl ester is the polyene antibiotic Amphotericin B (A634250) methyl ester derivative. The compound that binds to cholesterol and has strong antifungal properties is called amphotericin B methyl ester. Amphotericin B methyl ester effectively suppresses HIV-1 replication and interferes with the formation of HIV-1 particles.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Amphotericin B methyl ester prevents the formation of HIV-1 particles while having no discernible impact on the plasma membrane binding, lipid raft association, or multimerization of Gag[1].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Hepatotoxicity
Mild and transient elevations in liver enzymes occur in up to 20% of patients receiving amphotericin. Clinically apparent hepatotoxicity is rare, but several convincing cases have been published. The liver injury arises as early as 4 to 14 days after starting therapy, typically with a hepatocellular or mixed pattern of enzyme elevation. Most patients have no symptoms or jaundice. Recovery occurs promptly upon stopping therapy. In addition, isolated but dramatic instances of hyperbilirubinemia arising within days of starting amphotericin have been reported with elevations largely in the direct (conjugated) bilirubin fraction. These patients become visually jaundiced but have no constitutional symptoms, minimal if any elevations in serum ALT or alkaline phosphatase levels, and no evidence of frank hepatic injury. Finally, rare instances of acute cholestatic hepatitis with jaundice have been reported in patients receiving amphotericin, but these patients have generally been critically ill and exposed to multiple potentially hepatotoxic agents, so that the attribution to amphotericin has been weak.
Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury).

Additional Infomation
Amphotericin B methyl ester is the methyl ester of amphotericin B. It has a role as an antifungal agent, an antiinfective agent and a metabolite. It is a macrolide, a monosaccharide derivative and a methyl ester. It is functionally related to an amphotericin B.
Amphotericin B is an antifungal agent with a broad spectrum of activity against many fungal species. Amphotericin B commonly causes mild to moderate serum aminotransferase elevations and can cause hyperbilirubinemia, but acute, clinically apparent drug induced liver injury from amphotericin B therapy is exceedingly rare.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
