title: [Transfer of latamoxef into human burn blister fluid and its pharmacokinetic analysis].
abstract: Latamoxef (LMOX) (50 mg/kg) was administrated intravenously to burned patients over 1 hour period. Burn blister fluid and serum were taken during 8 hours after injection, and concentrations of LMOX in burn blister fluid and serum were determined by bioassay using E. coli as a test organism. The serum concentrations of LMOX were 170.8 +/- 30.6 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 227.0 +/- 19.8 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 90.3 +/- 21.4 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, 52.9 +/- 14.6 micrograms/ml at 3 hours, 38.7 +/- 13.3 micrograms/ml at 4 hours, 25.1 +/- 8.1 micrograms/ml at 5 hours, 20.5 +/- 8.1 micrograms/ml at 6 hours, 13.0 +/- 5.5 micrograms/ml (mean +/- S.D., n = 5) at 8 hours after the injection. The LMOX concentrations in burn blister fluid were 36.9 +/- 32.8 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 77.5 +/- 42.2 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 85.4 +/- 19.6 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, 76.4 +/- 18.5 micrograms/ml at 3 hours, 63.5 +/- 17.8 micrograms/ml at 4 hours, 54.9 +/- 17.1 micrograms/ml at 5 hours, 34.8 +/- 10.3 micrograms/ml at 6 hours, 25.2 +/- 4.8 micrograms/ml (mean +/- S.D., n = 7) at 8 hours after the injection. The data obtained were analysed pharmacokinetically. The serum levels were analysed by two-compartment model, and the LMOX levels in burn blister fluid were analysed by the model, in which blister was considered as a small part of the peripheral compartment. In results, Tmax and Cmax of LMOX levels in burn blister fluid were calculated as 1.81 hours and 90.6 micrograms/ml, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
