Abstract

Liposomal cephalexin was used m the dry period treatment of bovine mastitis due to Staphylococcus aureus. Liposomes were prepared by stable plurilamellar vesicle(SPLV) process. The shape and size of SPLVs were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The entrapping efficiency and stability of SPLVs were determined by high performance liquid chromatography or liquid scintillation counting. The size of SPLVs ranged from 0.1 to $4.01{\mu}m$ in diameter, with an entrapping efficiency of cephalexin of 25.8 %. The formulation of liposomal cephalexin was used for treatment were SPLV-entrapped cephalexin and free cephalexin with total cephalexin concentration of 250mg per quarters. All quarters were infused intramammarily at the end of lactation period by liposomal cephalexin, free cephalexin, or blank liposome with free cephalexin. The number of quarters cured by liposomal cephalexin(14/15 quarters, 93 %) was significantly higher than that by free cephalexin(7/15 quarters, 46%). or by blank liposome with free cephalexin(8/15 quarters, 53 % ) (p<0.05).

Stable plurilamellar vesicle(SPLV) 제작법을 이용한 liposomal cephalexin으로 젖소의 Staphylococcus aureus성 유방염에 대해 건유기 치료를 시도하였다. SPLV의 모양과 크기를 transmission electron microscopy로 관찰하였으며 SPLV의 포획율 및 안정성은 high performance liquid chromatography 및 liquid scintillation counting으로 조사한 바 SPLV의 크기는 대개 직경 $0.1{\sim}4.0{\mu}m$였고, cephalexin 포획율은 $25.8{\pm}3.1$ $(mean{\pm}SE)$였으며 $4^{\circ}C$ 보관시 0, 24, 48, 72 및 96 시간후의 유리농도백분율은 각각 1.1, 3.9, 6.5, 7.5 및 8.4%였다. S aureus에 감염된 45분방에 대하여 15분방씩 3군으로 나누어 각 분방당 250mg의 liposomal cephalexin(LC군), 250mg free cephalexin(FC)군 및 blank liposome을 첨가한 250mg cephalexin(BLC)군을 건유시 분방내 주입한 후 분만당일에 균분리 및 동정을 실시한 바 LC군, FC군 및 BLC군에서 각각 1, 8 및 7분방에서 상기와 동일한 균이 분리되어 LC군이 타군에 비해 유의한 치료효과를 나타내었다.
