Ntc Eye Drop is an antifungal medication. It works by killing the fungi that cause eye infections by destroying their cell membrane.
Is Ntc Eye Drop associated with an increased risk of cancer?
Ntc Eye Drop has been found to be free from any known effects that may contribute to the development of cancers.
What is the origin of Ntc Eye Drop?
Ntc Eye Drop is derived from a species of Streptomyces, specifically Streptomyces natalensis.
How does Ntc Eye Drop function in treating fungal infections?
As a tetraene polyene antibiotic, Ntc Eye Drop works by binding to the sterol component of the fungal cell membrane. This binding action alters the permeability of the cell wall and leads to the depletion of cellular contents within the fungus. Consequently, this results in reduced growth and proliferation of fungi.
Why does Ntc Eye Drop not affect bacterial infections?
The mechanism of action of Ntc Eye Drop involves binding specifically to the sterol moiety present in fungal cell membranes but absent in bacterial cell walls. Therefore, it effectively targets and treats fungal infections without impacting bacteria.
