Figure 3. Efficacy and toxicity of AmB ureas in mice.
Quantification of the fungal burden in the kidneys of C. albicans infected neutropenic mice 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after a single IP injection of AmB, AmBMU or AmBAU at dosages of a. 1 mg/kg b. 4 mg/kg or c. 16 mg/kg. P-values are relative to AmB at each indicated time point, *, p≤0.05, **, p≤0.001, ***, p≤0.0001, d. Dose response toxicity assessed via determination of lethality upon single IV injection of AmB, AmBMU and AmBAU to healthy mice at doses of ranging from 0.5 to 64 mg/kg (5 mice per dosage). Mice were monitored for survival up to one day.
