The aim of this Sharp Tools/Blades study was to improve the treatment of Candida albicans biofilms through the use of nystatin solid dispersions developed using maltodextrins as a hyperosmotic copyright.Characterization studies by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, dissolution studies, and particle size analysis were performed to evaluate changes in nystatin crystallinity.Antifungal activity and anti-biofilm efficacy were assessed by microbiological techniques.

The results for nystatin solid dispersions showed that the enhancement of antifungal activity may be related to the high proportions of maltodextrins.Anti-biofilm assays showed a significant reduction (more than 80%) on biofilm formation with SD-N:MD [1:6] compared to the Candlelight Lantern Ornament nystatin reference suspension.The elaboration process and physicochemical properties of SD-N:MD [1:6] could be a promising strategy for treatment of Candida biofilms.
