Activity of a new liposomal formulation of amphotericin B against two strains of Leishmania infantum in a murine model.

Abstract:

:The efficacy of a new liposomal formulation of amphotericin B was compared to that of amphotericin B deoxycholate (Fungizone) in a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis induced by Leishmania infantum. Median effective doses (ED50) were determined with two different strains: strain 1 was obtained from an untreated patient, and strain 2 was obtained from a patient who had received 12.5 g of amphotericin B over 3 years. BALB/c mice were infected intravenously on day 0 with promastigotes and then treated on days 14, 16, and 18 (strain 1) or on days 21, 23, and 25 (strain 2) with the liposomal formulation of amphotericin B (five doses were tested for each strain: 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 0.8, and 3 mg/kg of body weight) or with conventional amphotericin B (four doses were tested for each strain: 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.8 mg/kg). Mice in the control group received normal saline solution. The liposomal amphotericin B formulation was about three times more active than the conventional drug against both strains. ED50 of the liposomal formulation were 0.054 (strain 1) and 0.194 (strain 2) mg/kg. ED50 of conventional amphotericin B were 0.171 (strain 1) and 0.406 (strain 2) mg/kg. Determination of drug tissular levels, 3 days after the last drug administration, showed a drug accumulation in hepatic and splenic tissues much higher after administration of liposomal amphotericin B than after conventional amphotericin B. A lack of toxicity was noted in all groups treated with the liposomal formulation.
