[The diffusion of cefazedone into heart muscle, prostatic and skin tissue and into bile].
The diffusion of cefazedone into human heart muscle, prostatic and skin tissue as well as bile fluid was investigated. 40 to 80 min after a single injection of 100 mg/kg (n = 14) the concentration in the heart muscle was between 10.8 and 85.5 micrograms/g. The respective serum levels were between 117 and 168.1 micrograms/ml. The single i.v. injection of 2 g cefazedone resulted within 30 min in a mean concentration of 34.63 +/- 9.75 micrograms/g in the prostatic tissue and in serum levels of 139.07 +/- 39.68 micrograms/ml (n = 14). In 5 patients additional values were estimated after 60 min. At this time the antibiotic concentrations were 24.92 +/- 1.31 micrograms/g in the tissue, with simultaneous serum levels of 87.25 +/- 20.86 micrograms/ml. 1 h after a 500 mg i.v. dose, concentrations in bile taken from T-tube were between 71.4 and 210 micrograms/ml. After 2 h there was a mean level of 83.2 micrograms/ml which was significantly above the serum concentrations at the same time (1 h = 35.25 +/- 7.17; and 2 h = 20.5 micrograms/ml). The bile concentration of 2 patients taken 5 h after cefazedone injection was 4.95 and 11.6 micrograms/ml. The cefazedone concentrations in the skin were estimated mainly in biopsies from granulating leg ulcer tissues. The mean concentrations in 4 cases were 120 +/- 28.7 micrograms/g 3 h after i.v. injection of 2 g cefazedone. The simultaneous serum levels were between 14.85 and 68.2 micrograms/ml, in one patient with extreme venous stasis the tissue concentration was only 8.1 micrograms/g. Cefazedone should be regarded as an antibiotic with excellent penetration into tissues.
