    Abstract:
    Distribution of 3H-dihydrostreptomycin ( DHS ) in the blood serum and organs of intact mice and mice with generalized tuberculosis was studied. The antibiotic was administered in the form of a liposomal preparation and solution. It was shown that the distribution pattern of DHS administered in the form of a liposomal preparation corresponded to that of liposomes, which were the drug carriers. The serum levels of DHS injected intravenously in the form of a liposomal drug in a dose of 1 mg per mouse in the intact animals were 19 and 17 times higher 1 and 3 hours after injection, respectively as compared to those provided by the solution. In animals with generalized tuberculosis, the respective figures were 5 and 1.9 times. The levels of DHS in the liver provided by the liposomes were 4-6 times higher at all the time intervals in both the groups of animals. The antibiotic levels in the spleen of intact and infected animals were 2.5-3 and 8-12 times higher, respectively. In the lungs of intact animals, the antibiotic levels were 2 times higher 1 hour after administration. In infected animals, the levels of the antibiotic in the lung tissue were 3 times higher in 1 and 3 hours. The DHS levels in the kidneys of infected and intact animals were similar after drug administration in the form of a solution and liposomal preparation. The extremely high difference in the DHS levels in the spleen tissues of the mice with generalized tuberculosis after drug administration in the form of a solution and liposomal preparation may be of a significant importance for sanation of the organ lymphoid system affected with tuberculosis.
