title: [Interaction between an antifungal heptaene, amphotericin B and cholesterol in vitro, as detected by circular dichroism and absorption. Influence of temperature].
abstract: The polyene antibiotic "Amphotericin B" can interact with sterols, cholesterol or ergosterol in aqueous and hydroalcoholic media and a correlative striking spectral change appears between 300 and 420 nm in the CD and absorption spectra. Using these spectroscopic methods we have determined that the influence of temperature between 4 and 80 degrees C is very important. The higher the temperature the most rapid is the modification of the spectra. Thus, the "Amphotericin B"-sterol complex is more easily formed when heating. We have not found any reversibility at 80 degrees C.
