[The evaluation of bioavailability and pharmacokinetic parameters of a new antimicrobial preparation trichomikocid]
Abstract:
Antimicrobial preparations are not effective enough for the normalisation of vaginal microflora, regeneration of it's mucosal layer and thus there are still conditions Amaintained for recidives or reinfection of the disease. In addition, there is a limited arsenal of combinations of trichomikocidal preparations. It is very important problem of modern medicine and pharmacology to create new drugs, especially of natural origin, to treat urogenital trichomonias and trichomona-fungal infections. The purpose of the trial was to study biopenetration and pharmacokinetic parameters of preparation trichomikocid suppositories for vaginal and rectal use. In vitro and in vivo investigations have shown that the level of biological penetration is higher during the use of trichomikocid suppositories for vaginal and rectal use (95% and 96%) than during the oral use (75%). Correlations between the data of in vivo and in vitro investigations has been found.
Insights
New vaginal suppositories show superior biopenetration for treating urogenital infections. This study highlights improved drug delivery for trichomoniasis and fungal infections, offering a promising alternative to oral treatments.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacology and Microbiology
- Drug Delivery Systems
- Gynecological Infections
Background:
- Current antimicrobial treatments are insufficient for normalizing vaginal microflora and regenerating mucosal layers, leading to recurrent infections.
- Limited therapeutic options exist for combined trichomonal and fungal infections.
- Development of novel, natural-origin drugs is crucial for treating urogenital trichomoniasis and mixed infections.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the biopenetration and pharmacokinetic properties of novel trichomikocid suppositories.
- To compare the efficacy of vaginal and rectal administration routes versus oral administration.
Main Methods:
- In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to assess drug penetration.
- Biopenetration levels were measured for vaginal, rectal, and oral administration routes.
Main Results:
- Trichomikocid suppositories demonstrated high biopenetration rates: 95% for vaginal and 96% for rectal use.
- Oral administration showed a significantly lower biopenetration rate of 75%.
- A strong correlation was observed between in vivo and in vitro investigation data.
Conclusions:
- Vaginal and rectal administration of trichomikocid suppositories offers superior biopenetration compared to oral routes.
- These findings support the development of suppositories as an effective drug delivery system for urogenital infections.
- The study validates the predictive accuracy of in vitro models for in vivo drug penetration.
