| Abstract | The present studies were designed to develop a formulation of amphotericin B in a lipid-based preparation as a microemulsion and to compare its toxicity with the commercial formulation Fungizone®. The final product developed is a lyophilized amphotericin B, oil and surfactant blend for reconstitution in water to yield a microemulsion containing 5 mg/ml of the drug. Pseudoternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify areas of existence of microemulsion composed of Peceol® (glyceryl monooleate) as oil phase and Mys 40® (polyethylene glycol 40 stearate) and Solutol HS 15® (polyethylene glycol 15 hydroxy stearate) as surfactants. Amphotericin B was co-evaporated with oil - surfactant mixture to produce a microemulsion pre-concentrate. The co-evaporate was diluted in water, filtered for sterilization and lyophilized to obtain the final product. The lyophilized as well as the reconstituted products were separately studied for stability and the latter was also characterized for various physicochemical aspects including droplet size of the dispersed phase, osmolarity and aggregation state of drug. The dispersion showed no evidence of precipitation of drug for 48 h, and resisted destabilization due to freeze–thaw cycles or centrifugation. The dispersed phase globules measured a mean size of 84 nm and uv–spectrophotometric studies indicated the presence of self-aggregated amphotericin B. The present formulation showed a 92% decrease in haemolysis of human RBC in vitro when compared with the commercially available Fungizone®. The LD$_{50}$ in mice was estimated to be 3.4 mg/kg. The results indicate that the formulation holds promise for development as a safer and efficacious alternative for amphotericin B therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
