Amphotericin B is a pretty neat drug. I've been reading about it recently and it remains an almost perfectly effective drug for treatment of fungal infections due to the fact that evolving a resistance to it necessarily makes pathogens vulnerable to the immune system. Why aren't there more drugs like this?

I love chemistry and biology in itself, I always was an A student but I'm not sure if it's the right thing for me. I find the subject very interesting but I'm still not sure if It's something I wan't to do for the rest of my life.

Amphoterrible is its name in hospitals because of how aggressively it punches holes in cell membranes, including the patient's.

If this was a diy LSD topic, I would be so in it. Any info on LSD and how reproduce it in its pure form ?
