The in vitro activity of a new water-soluble polyene, SPA-S-843, was evaluated against 116 strains of Candida, Cryptococcus, and Saccharomyces spp. and compared with that of amphotericin B. SPA-S-843 demonstrated better inhibitory activity against all of the yeasts examined and better fungicidal activity against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, and Candida tropicalis than did amphotericin B.
