| Abstract: | Pharmacokinetics of kanamycin was studied after its targeted delivery to the liver in autological erythrocyte ghosts on 25 noninbred dogs with experimental acute cholecystitis in comparison to the routine intravenous administration of the antibiotic in solution. Kanamycin concentrations in the tissues of the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and lungs as well as in bile and blood serum were determined by the agar diffusion method 24, 48 and 72 hours after the last administration. It was found that the targeted delivery of kanamycin in blood shadows made it possible to provide high concentrations of the antibiotic for prolonged periods in the liver and biliary ducts and to more efficiently arrest the clinical manifestations of acute cholecystitis as well as normalize the laboratory indices. The data showed that using blood shadows as a reliable system for targeted delivery of antibiotics to the liver was advisable in purulent inflammatory affections of the biliary ducts. |
