title: [Study of general toxic and organotropic properties of ampicillin combined with sulbactam].
abstract: The effect of sulacillin, a combination of sulbactam and ampicillin (1:2), on the functions of the liver and kidneys, peripheral blood count, cardiovascular and central nervous systems was studied in acute and chronic experiments on animals of various species. The allergenic and local irritating properties of the combination were also studied. It was shown that the combination was low toxic and the interaction of sulbactam and ampicillin by the lethal effect was additive. When the combination was administered intravenously to mice, its LD50 amounted to 6 g/kg. In chronic experiments on rats parenterally given the combination in doses equivalent to the therapeutic ones there were no changes in the examined systems and organs. When used in the doses exceeding the therapeutic ones, sulacillin used during long periods induced a transitory elevation of blood levels of transaminases and alkaline phosphatases, an increase in the relative weight of the liver and kidneys, elongation the typhlon and an increase in glycogen levels in the hepatocytes without morphological changes. The combination had no significant effect of sulacillin and the painful injections alleviated by local anesthesia were recorded. The allergenic properties of the combination were moderate and did not differ from those of ampicillin. The data indicate that the combined sulacillin preparation greatly resembles its foreign analogue.
