Beschreibung

General description

This product is a saline suspension with approximately 2.5% pimaricin γ-irradiated.

Pimaricin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces natalensis from soil near Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.¹ Pimaricin has antimicrobial activity similar to that of nystatin. In addition, it is active against Trichomonas vaginalis. Pimaricin is used in the treatment of candidiasis, trichomoniasis, fungal keratitis and aspergillosis. It has also been used as a food additive in some countries. In some studies, it has been shown to decrease the amount of mold upon which the Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (house-dust mite) is dependent.²

Application

Pimaricin is an amphoteric antibiotic from Streptomyces natalensis or S. chattanoogensis. It is used for a variety of fungal infections, mainly topically. It is used as an ergosterol and cholesterol binding agent to study lipid bilayer dynamics, especially in fungal cells. It is used to study pimaricin biosynthesis and as a fungicide in agar media.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ein antifungales Polyenmakrolid, welches hauptsächlich am Zellmembran aktiv ist.
