ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To measure the concentrations of levofloxacin in aqueous humor after a single eye dripping of drug and calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters.METHODS:32 rabbits were divided into 8 groups.The rabbit eyeballs were enucleated to make a collection of aqueous humor at 0.125,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0,2.0,3.0 and 4.0 hours after dripping.All measurements were performed with HPLC.RESULTS:In aqueous humor,Tmax:0.940h,Cmax:0.592?g/ml,T1/2(Ka):0.479h,T1/2 (Ke)0.919h.By using 3p87 pharmacokinetic program,the concentration-time curves were fitted as one-compartment op_en model.CONCLUSION:All the concentrations of levofloxacin at different times after dripping in aqueous humor exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration for 90%(MIC90)of most bacterial pathogens.These results show that levofloxacin lactate eye-drops may be an effective antimicrobial agent for the treatment and prevention of intraocular infections as well as other ocular infections.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the percutaneous permeability of methoxypsoralen liposomal gel METHODS:The preparations were applied on the rat skin in vitro and in vivo with common gel and Mingbailing tincture as control,and the drug concentrations in the receiver,skin,blood and other organs were determined by RP-HPLC RESULTS:In vitro experiment,liposomal gel showed the lowest percutaneous permeation rate and the highest retention in skin In vivo studies illuminated that the skin depositions of drug encapsulated in liposome was(4 37?0 91) and (3 36?0 58) times those of the common gel and tincture respectively CONCLUSION:Methoxypsoralen liposomal gel showed an evident targeting effect on skin
