Natamet Eye Drop is an antibiotic derived from Streptomyces natalensis
Natamet Eye Drop belongs to a class of medicines called tetraene polyene antibiotic. Natamet Eye Drop binds to the fungal cell wall, alters the permeability of the cell wall and causes depletion of the cellular contents; thereby reducing growth and proliferation of fungi
The mechanism of action of Natamet Eye Drop is through binding of the molecule to the sterol moiety of the fungal cell membrane. Since bacterial cell wall doesn't contain sterol moiety, it doesn't affect bacteria.
