title: [Interaction of rifampicin with hepatocyte organoids in rats and its intracellular distribution].
abstract: Interaction of rifampicin with isolated subcellular fractions of the rat liver (binding and dissociation of the complexes) and intracellular distribution of the antibiotic were studied in the presence of the main organoids taken in the ratio close to the natural volume ratio of the hepatocyte cell components. The nuclei and mitochondria were most active during drug binding. The microsomes were less important. Rifampicin formed mobile complexes with organoids and was easily released from the subcellular fractions recovering its activity on washing. The intracellular distribution was the following: 37.7 per cent of rifampicin in the active form was accumulated in cytosol and the remaining amount was reversibly bound in the fractions of the nuclei, mitochondria and microsomes. The characteristic features of the cell pharmacokinetics of rifampicin, i.e. significant concentration in cytosol, possible deposition in the subcellular structures and at the same time the capacity for recovery of the activity might define the antimicrobial potential of this antibiotic in respect to the intracellular microorganisms.
