    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of antibiotics like tobramycin is crucial for therapeutic drug monitoring.
    • Existing methods for tobramycin assay may have limitations in sensitivity or practicality.
    • Enzyme immunoassays (EIA) offer a sensitive and specific approach for drug level determination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for tobramycin (TOB) quantification.
    • To assess the pharmacokinetic profile of tobramycin following intramuscular administration in healthy volunteers.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a competitive EIA utilizing a styrene-maleate co-polymer solid phase and glutaraldehyde for antibody immobilization.
    • Validation of the EIA for tobramycin assay performance.
    • Pharmacokinetic study involving intramuscular administration of 60-mg or 90-mg tobramycin doses to six healthy male volunteers.
    • Analysis of plasma samples to determine tobramycin concentrations over time.

    Main Results:

    • The developed EIA demonstrated high efficacy and reliability for tobramycin measurement.
    • Pharmacokinetic data revealed the absorption, distribution, and elimination patterns of tobramycin after intramuscular injection.
    • The assay's performance indicates its suitability for clinical and research applications in therapeutic drug monitoring.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel EIA provides an effective and robust method for tobramycin quantification.
    • The pharmacokinetic data generated contribute to understanding tobramycin's behavior in vivo.
    • This EIA has the potential to improve the management of tobramycin therapy through accurate and accessible drug level monitoring.
