Ocular penetration of cefazolin in humans and rabbits after subconjunctival injection.

چکیده
We determined the clinical potential of cefazolin by assaying aqueous samples for levels of aqueous penetration of cefazolin in humans and rabbits after subconjunctival injection. Cefazolin is a broad spectrum antiotic that appears to penetrate aqueous humor in bactericidal concentrations after subconjunctival injection and may serve as a useful alternative in patients sensitive to other antibiotics.

Intraocular levels of cefamandole compared with cefazolin after subconjunctival injection in rabbits.
We compared the intraocular pharmacokinetics of cefazolin with those of cefamandole, a recently marketed cephalosporin with enhanced activity against gram-negative bacilli. Following subconjunctival injection of 12.5 mg into infected eyes (S. aureus endophthalmitis) of pigmented rabbits, both drugs reached peak concentrations greater than 100 microgram/gm in cornea, sclera, and choroid-retina. ...
متن کاملThe difficulty of determining the route of intraocular penetration of gentamicin after subconjunctival injection in the rabbit.
In small animals such as the rabbit the ratio of eye size to body size is much larger than it is in humans. Accordingly, periocular injection of antibodies in this animal model results in significantly higher serum concentrations than does a comparable does in a human. To assess the effect of the systemic drug component on ocular penetration, we compared the levels of gentamicin in ocular tissu...

متن کاملPenetration of cefazolin, cephaloridine, and cefamandole into interstitial fluid in rabbits.
We compared the penetration of three cephalosporins into interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid was obtained in rabbits from Silastic tissue cages. Cefazolin, cephaloridine, and cefamandole were administered by the intramuscular route (30 mg/kg per injection). Peak blood levels and interstitial concentrations were studied after a single injection. Interstitial levels were also compared in a thr...
متن کاملIntraocular penetration of periocular ketorolac and efficacy in experimental uveitis.
PURPOSE To determine in rabbits whether periocular injection of ketorolac tromethamine effectively delivers the drug to the eye and, if so, whether this is efficacious in the treatment of experimental uveitis. METHODS Ketorolac was administered by anterior subconjunctival injection, posterior periocular injection, intramuscular injection, or topical eye drops. The aqueous and vitreous were as...
