Abstract
The author discusses research on analogs of the antifungal drug amphotericin B that retain effectiveness with reduced host toxicities, referencing a study by S. A. Davis published in the journal in 2015. Topics covered include the drug's mode of action, as well as the effect of modified antifungal drug on ergosterol and human cholesterol.
