Abstract

First, the SA-TDZA-Lips were prepared by reverse-phase evaporation method. Then, the drug release behaviour was evaluated by dynamic membrane dialysis in vitro and the preliminary safety was evaluated by haemolysis method. Finally, with tedizolid phosphate injection (TDZA-Inj) and tedizolid phosphate loaded liposomes (TDZA-Lips) as the control groups, the pharmacokinetic characteristic and tissues distribution of SA-TDZA-Lips were evaluated after intravenous injection. As a result, the stearylamine modified tedizolid phosphate liposomal delivery system was constructed successfully and the particle size was 194.9 ± 2.93 nm. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) was 53.52 ± 2.18%. The in vitro release of SA-TDZA-Lips was in accordance with Weibull equation. And there was no haemolysis happened, which indicated good preliminary safety for injection. The results of pharmacokinetics showed that the t1/2β increased by 0.74 times and 0.51 times higher than that of TDZA-Inj group and TDZA-Lips group, respectively. The MRT of SA-TDZA-Lips was 1.30 and 1.09 times higher than that of TDZA-Inj group and TDZA-Lips group, respectively. The AUC was 2.40 times and 0.23 times higher than that of TDZA-Inj group and TDZA-Lips group, respectively. The tissue distribution results showed that the relative uptake rate (Re) of TDZA in the lung was 1.527, which indicated the targeting. In conclusion, the SA-TDZA-Lips prepared in this study had several advantages like positive charge, strong cell affinity, prolonged circulation time in vivo, sustained release effect, and increased drug concentration in lungs. All advantages above provided significant clinical value of application for the treatment of bacterial pneumonia with tedizolid phosphate.
