title: Design and antileishmanial activity of amphotericin B-loaded stable ionic amphiphile biovector formulations.
abstract: A new delivery system, Ionic Amphiphilic Biovector (ABV), comprised of anionic lipids (dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl glycerol) included in a cationic cross-linked polysaccharide matrix was used as a reservoir for amphotericin B (AmB). Two ABV formulations exhibited an in vitro and in vivo efficacy similar to commercial AmBisome against Leishmania donovani-infected mice. The higher stability of these ABV formulations indicates their potential for further development and applications.
