is a multidrug-resistant yeast that has seen a worrying increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. Give7/n this, new therapeutic options, such as controlled-release nanomaterials, may be promising in combating the infection. Therefore, this study aimed to develop amphotericin B (AmB) and micafungin (MICA)-loaded nanoemulsions (NEMA) and evaluated against biofilms of . Nanoemulsions (NEs) were characterized and determined minimum inhibitory concentration MIC, checkerboard and anti-biofilm. NEMA presented a size of 53.7 and 81.4 nm for DLS and NTA, respectively, with good stability and spherical morphology. MICAmB incorporated efficiency was 88.4 and 99.3%, respectively. The release results show that AmB and MICA obtained a release of 100 and 63.4%, respectively. MICAmB and NEMA showed MIC90 values of 0.015 and 0.031 ug/mL, respectively and synergism. NEMA showed greater metabolic inhibition and morphological changes in mature biofilms. This drugs combination and co-encapsulation proved to be a promising therapy against biofilms.
是一种具有多重耐药性的酵母，在 COVID-19 大流行期间其数量令人担忧地增加。鉴于此，新的治疗选择，如控释纳米材料，可能在对抗感染方面具有广阔的前景。因此，本研究旨在开发两性霉素 B（AmB）和米卡芬净（MICA）负载的纳米乳剂（NEMA），并对其进行评估，以对抗 的生物膜。对纳米乳剂（NEs）进行了表征，并测定了最低抑菌浓度（MIC）、棋盘法和抗生物膜活性。DLS 和 NTA 分别测定 NEMA 的粒径为 53.7 和 81.4nm，具有良好的稳定性和球形形态。AmB 的包封效率分别为 88.4%和 99.3%。释放结果表明，AmB 和 MICA 的释放量分别达到 100%和 63.4%。MICAmB 和 NEMA 的 MIC90 值分别为 0.015 和 0.031μg/mL，表现出协同作用。NEMA 对成熟生物膜表现出更大的代谢抑制和形态变化。这种药物联合和共包封被证明是一种有前途的治疗 生物膜的方法。
