title: Antioxidant-mediated increases in the antifungal activities of amphotericin B and its methyl ester derivative.
abstract: Although antioxidants enhanced the antifungal properties of both amphotericin B and its methyl ester derivative, the effect was significantly more pronounced with amphotericin B. This disparity is explained on the basis of differences observed in the dynamics of drug action.
