Mode of action of AmB. AmB molecules interact with ergosterol, forming AmB transmembrane pores. There is an intense efflux of ions through these pores that eventually leads to proton influx, causing cell death. Moreover, there is a production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to AmB-mediated oxidative stress when the drug crosses the cell membrane.
