NCIt definition : A polyene amphoteric macrolide antibiotic with antifungal properties. Natamycin exerts
its antifungal effects by binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane thereby increasing
membrane permeability. This leads to a leakage and loss of essential cellular constituents.
Following ocular application, natamycin is retained in the conjunctival fornices and
attains effective concentrations within the corneal stroma where it exerts its effect.;
