Membrane Transport Inhibition as Mode of Action of Polyene Antimycotics: Recent Data Supported by Old Ones
Recent studies demonstrate that the actual interactions of polyenes with membrane sterols are the basis for their antimycotic toxicity and not, as previously assumed, their potential to form pores. Therefore, sterols must play a vital role in membranes and this function is seriously disturbed once p...
