Chemotherapeutic anti-cancer drugs induce cell death by the process of apoptosis. Efflux of potassium ions (K(+)) is necessary for cell volume reduction during apoptosis and increased inward pumping of K(+) thus counteracts apoptosis. Potassium flux modulation could therefore interact with apoptosis
Previously, we have shown that liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmpB) composed of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerd (DMPG) was less nephrotoxic but equally as effective as Fungizone, which consists of amphotericin (AmpB) and deoxycholate. We have also observed that
