The pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of two amphotericin B dosage forms were compared in rats. A novel lipid-based colloidal delivery system for amphotericin B (Amphotericin B Colloidal Dispersion [ABCD]) which reduces the toxicity of amphotericin B in animals was compared with a conventional micellar formulation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received a single intravenous injection of 1.0 mg of ABCD, 5.0 mg of ABCD, or 1.0 mg of micellar amphotericin B per kg. Plasma and tissue samples were obtained at 0.5 to 96 h after dosing and analyzed for amphotericin B by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Animals receiving ABCD demonstrated reduced peak levels in plasma, a three- to sevenfold reduction in amphotericin B delivery to the kidneys (the major target organ for toxicity), and prolonged residence time compared with those receiving the micellar formulation. In contrast, amphotericin B concentrations in the liver were two- to threefold higher with ABCD than with the micellar formulation: nearly 100% of the amphotericin B administered as ABCD was recovered from the liver 30 min after dosing. These results suggest that the colloidal particles of ABCD are taken up by the liver, which then acts as a reservoir of amphotericin B.
