Research work is going on AmphotericinB with concepts from Nanotechnology for early identification or AIDS

Well, provide a reference and stick it in the article! I fail to understand how an antifungal could be of any use in detecting viral particles, but I hope you can enlighten us. JFW | T@lk 13:41, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] amphotericin-b CAPSULES

NON-TOXIC form of amphotericin-b

[edit] New delivery system

This was added:

Researchers (Wasan KM et al.) at the University of British Columbia (Canada) discovered new drug delivery system for Amphotericin B (AMB), bypassing notable renal toxicity associated with currently available intravenous AMB formulation. A clinical study of the drug delivery system, involving 50-100 patients, is planned for later this year. Newer oral AMB preparation will provide more effective, less toxic and cheaper alternative to intravenous AMB, as per press release submitted on 5-March-2006.

This needs rewriting. What is the delivery system? Why is it different from AmBisome? What benefits are expected? Why do we need to mention a system that hasn't even finished its trials? JFW | T@lk 22:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
