Abstract

An anti-fungal complex formed of a polyene anti-fungal agent, such as amphotericin B, and cyclodextrin, preferably γ-cyclodextrin, is provided. The complex which includes amphoterin B has improved water solutility and stability over prior art amphotericin B anti-fungal agents. A method for forming the complex is also provided wherein anti-fungal agent, such as amphoterin B, is dissolved in an aqueous solution of cyclodextrin of pH ranging from about 9 to about 12 and the resulting solution is maintained at a pH ranging from about 6 to about 8 to form the subject complex. The solution can be lyophilized as desired to achieve higher solubility.
