概覽

​兩性黴素B (Amphotericin B)​ 是一種強效的全身性多烯類大環內酯抗黴菌藥物,專門用於治療進行性、有致命危險的黴菌感染(如芽生菌病、組織漿菌病、隱球菌病、球黴菌病)。

由於其口服生物利用度極差,必須經由腸胃外途徑(通常為靜脈注射 IV)給藥。傳統劑型 ​去氧膽酸兩性黴素B (amphotericin B deoxycholate)​ 以引起顯著的​腎毒性​而聞名,這限制了它的使用並需要密集的監測。

較新的​脂質體配方​(例如微脂體兩性黴素B、兩性黴素B脂質複合體)將藥物包裹在脂質載體中。這些配方的腎毒性顯著較低,允許使用更高的累積劑量,且能更好地穿透組織(如肺、肝和脾),但價格相當昂貴。

​臨床要點:​ 雖然對許多雙相型真菌高度有效,但犬貓的麴菌症 (aspergillosis) 對兩性黴素B的治療反應通常不佳。

作用機制

Amphotericin B is fungistatic or fungicidal depending on the concentration.

It works by binding to sterols—primarily ergosterol—in the fungal cell membrane. This binding creates transmembrane pores → alters membrane permeability → allows intracellular ​potassium (K+)​, magnesium, and other vital cellular constituents to leak out → leading to fungal cell death.

​Toxicity Mechanism:​ Mammalian cell membranes contain cholesterol. While amphotericin B has a higher affinity for ergosterol, it still binds to mammalian cholesterol to some degree. This cross-reactivity, particularly in renal epithelial cells, is the primary mechanism behind its dose-limiting nephrotoxicity. It also induces renal vasoconstriction, leading to a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to amphotericin B (unless the infection is life-threatening and no alternatives exist)

不良反應

  • Nephrotoxicity (very common, dose-dependent)
  • Anorexia and vomiting
  • Hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia
  • Distal renal tubular acidosis
  • Phlebitis at injection site
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Non-regenerative anemia
  • Fever (can be mitigated with NSAIDs or low-dose steroids)
  • Tachycardia, tachypnea, lethargy, restlessness (horses)
  • Calcinosis cutis (dogs)

注意事項

​Black Box Warning Equivalent:​ Amphotericin B is highly nephrotoxic. Renal function must be aggressively monitored during therapy.

  • Use with extreme caution in patients with pre-existing renal disease.
  • Cats are more sensitive to nephrotoxic effects; reduced dosages are often recommended.
  • Ensure adequate hydration prior to administration. Sodium loading (e.g., normal saline administration before and after dosing) may help avert renal insufficiency by preventing tubuloglomerular feedback-induced vasoconstriction.
  • Pregnancy: Weigh risks vs. benefits. FDA Category B (human); Papich Class A (veterinary).

藥物相互作用

Corticosteroids

May exacerbate the potassium-losing effects of amphotericin B.

Digoxin

Amphotericin B-induced hypokalemia may exacerbate digoxin toxicity.

FlucytosineMinor

In vitro synergy against Cryptococcus and Candida, but may also increase flucytosine toxicity.

Nephrotoxic Drugs (Aminoglycosides, Polymyxin B, Cisplatin, Cyclosporine, etc.)

Additive renal toxicity; avoid concurrent or sequential use if possible.

Potassium-Depleting Drugs (Thiazide or Loop Diuretics)

Increased risk of severe hypokalemia.

Saline Solutions or Preservative-containing Solutions

Reconstituting amphotericin B deoxycholate with these solutions may cause precipitation.

Skeletal Muscle Relaxants (Tubocurarine)

Amphotericin B-induced hypokalemia may enhance curariform effects.

FluorouracilMajor

Amphotericin may increase the toxic effects of fluorouracil.

DoxorubicinMajor

Amphotericin may increase the toxic effects of doxorubicin.

MethotrexateMajor

Amphotericin may increase the toxic effects of methotrexate.

Nephrotoxic drugsMajor

Concurrent use significantly increases the risk of severe nephrotoxicity.

監測

  • BUN and serum creatinine (before each dose or every other day during dose escalation, then at least weekly)
  • Serum electrolytes including sodium, potassium, and magnesium (weekly)
  • Liver function tests (weekly)
  • CBC and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) (weekly)
  • Urinalysis (weekly)
  • Total plasma protein (TPP) (at least weekly)
  • Body weight

藥物動力學

半衰期

Initial: 24-48 hours; Terminal: ~15 days (extrapolated/general mammalian data)

吸收

Poorly absorbed from the GI tract; must be given parenterally (IV) for systemic infections.

分佈

Penetrates well into most tissues but poorly into pancreas, muscle, bone, aqueous humor, and pleural/pericardial/synovial/peritoneal fluids unless inflamed. CSF levels are ~3% of serum levels. Highly protein bound (90-95%). Lipid forms have higher penetration into lungs, liver, and spleen.

代謝

Metabolic pathways are not fully known.

排除

Exhibits biphasic elimination. Approximately 2-5% of the drug is recovered in the urine in unchanged (biologically active) form. Can be detected in urine up to 7 weeks after therapy stops.

過量

Acute intravenous overdose reports are rare. Because of the severe toxicity of the drug, dosage calculations and solution preparation procedures must be double-checked.

If an accidental overdose occurs, renal toxicity is the primary concern. Toxicity may be minimized by aggressively administering intravenous fluids and mannitol to maintain GFR and promote diuresis.

儲存與穩定性

Store un-reconstituted vials in the refrigerator (2-8°C), protected from light and moisture. Reconstitute with sterile water for injection (no preservatives). After reconstitution, stable for 24 hours at room temperature and 1 week refrigerated if protected from light. When diluted in D5W (pH >4.3) for IV use, protect from light during administration (though studies show potency remains largely unaffected for 8-24 hours of light exposure).

飼主須知
