Abstract:
The optimization of the therapy of lung tuberculosis and asthma bronchiale was supported since 1955 by clinical-pharmacological investigations. The prerequisites therefore--using highly specific methods of distribution and quantification in biological material till to the synthesis of 3H-INH and 3H-RMP were introduced step by step. The investigations--in most cases estimations of the nonbiotransformated part of antituberculotic drugs and theophylline had following purposes: security of the necessary dose especially in the case of INH (hereditary INH-polymorphismus), proof of a sufficient permeation of INH and RMP in the tuberculous kidney, control of the usefulness or uselessness of the INH-depot-preparations, relations between the concentration in the serum and dose respectively of the appearance of side effects, estimation of bioavailability and pharmacokinetic parameters during the development of an useful retard-preparation of theophylline.
