Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Structure

Nystatin is a polyene antifungal antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces noursei. The molecular formula is C47H75NO17, and the molecular weight is 926.13.

Structural formula:

Nystatin Cream USP is for dermatologic use.

Nystatin Cream USP for topical use, contains 100,000 USP nystatin units per gram. Inactive ingredients: emulsifying wax, glycerin, isopropyl myristate, lactic acid, purified water, sodium hydroxide, and sorbic acid.

Pharmacodynamics

There is limited information regarding Pharmacodynamics of Nystatin in the drug label.

Pharmacokinetics

Nystatin Cream USP is not absorbed from intact skin or mucous membrane.

Microbiology

Nystatin is an antibiotic which is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi, including Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. guilliermondi, C. pseudotropicalis, C. krusei, Torulopsisglabrata, Tricophytonrubrum, T. mentagrophytes.

Nystatin acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of susceptible species resulting in a change in membrane permeability and the subsequent leakage of intracellular components. On repeated subculturing with increasing levels of nystatin, Candida albicans does not develop resistance to nystatin. Generally, resistance to nystatin does not develop during therapy. However, other species of Candida (C. tropicalis, C. guilliermondi, C. krusei, and C. stellatoides) become quite resistant on treatment with nystatin and simultaneously become cross resistant to amphotericin as well. This resistance is lost when the antibiotic is removed.

Nystatin exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria, protozoa, or viruses.

There is limited information regarding Nonclinical Toxicology of Nystatin in the drug label.
