Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 75 ml of dichloromethane was added 10 grams of soy lecithin (with tracer amounts of 3 -Hphosphatidlylcholine) and 200 mg of tobramycin sulfate in 5 ml of water. The solution was mixed by shaking and 4 ml were applied onto each side of 1"×1" foam bandage material and allowed to air dry. The bandage materials were placed onto a grid support as in Example 1 and wetted with 5 ml of water. The eluents for the first nine wettings were discarded. After ten repeated wettings the eluent was collected and passed over a Sephadex G-150 column. The material which was excluded by the column and included by the column bed was assayed for tobramycin using standard antimicrobial assays with E. Coli strain Y-1089. The material which was excluded was subjected to turbidity measurements and laser light scattering analysis. The sizes of the SDMCs were consistent with those previously observed between 0.15 m and 0.3 m and when assayed for tobramycin demonstrated that the antibiotic was indeed entrapped within the SDMCs which eluted from the foam bandage material. The included volume contained a small amount (less than 10% of the total tobramycin) which had either not been entrapped in SDMCs or had leaked out of SDMCs during transit from foam dressing or over the Sephadex column.
