Therapeutic efficacies of isoniazid and rifampin encapsulated in lung-specific stealth liposomes against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection induced in mice

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy

Abstract

One recent promising development in the modification of drug formulations to improve chemotherapy is the use of a liposome-mediated drug delivery system. The efficacies of isoniazid and rifampin encapsulated in lung-specific stealth liposomes were evaluated by injecting liposomal drugs and free drugs into tuberculous mice twice a week for 6 weeks. Liposome-encapsulated drugs at and below therapeutic concentrations were more effective than free drugs against tuberculosis, as evaluated on the basis of CFUs detected, organomegaly, and histopathology. Furthermore, liposomal drugs had marginal hepatotoxicities as determined from the levels of total bilirubin and hepatic enzymes in serum. The elimination of mycobacteria from the liver and spleen was also higher with liposomal drugs than with free drugs. The encapsulation of antitubercular drugs in lung-specific stealth liposomes seems to be a promising therapeutic approach for the chemotherapy of tuberculosis.
