The aqueous and hydroalcoholic solutions of the heptenic macrolide amphotericin B display strong and variable signals in CD [circular dichroism] and absorption spectroscopies in the range of the .pi.* .rarw. .pi. transition. An interpretation of the spectroscopic changes is proposed based on the equilibrium between 2 forms of the intermolecular organization: the aggregated one (A) with strong excitonic interaction and the nonaggregative one (B) whose spectra are like those of linear conjugated polyenes in true solution with a well-developed vibrational structure. The intermediate spectra are fitted by linear combination of the A- and B-form spectra. A 2-level organization of the aggregates is proposed for the A-form: a close packing of few molecules, which is the origin of the absorption maxima hypsochromic shift; and interaction between the preceding small units inside the aggregates, which is spectroscopically expressed by the intense CD couplet.
