Hemolytic activity of AmB and AmB–PGA nanoparticles. The extent of damage caused to red blood cells by the AmB formulation was measured as percent lysis of total erythrocytes used in the individual sample.

Notes: (A) Hemolysis caused by the AmB–PGA formulation after 1 hour of incubation with human red blood cells. (B) Hemolysis after a 24-hour incubation period. AmB-D, AmB-L and pure AmB used in preparation of the complex were used as controls. Data are pooled from three different experiments. Each datum point is a mean ± standard deviation.

Abbreviations: AmB, amphotericin B; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide; PGA, polyglutamic acid; AmB-D, Fungizone®; AmB-L, Ambisome®.
