We have studied clinically on 9,3"-diacetylmidecamycin (MOM), a new macrolide antibiotic derived from midecamycin. The following results were obtained. 1) Serum concentration. To the the same child weighing 15 kg and aged 4 years, the MOM dry syrup was administered orally at single doses of 150 mg (10 mg/kg) and 300 mg (20 mg/kg) and then the MDM fine granules at a single dose of 300 mg (20 mg/kg). At dosages of 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg of MOM dry syrup and 20 mg/kg of MDM fine granules, the serum concentrations were 0.5 microgram/ml, 0.8 microgram/ml and not detectable (N.D.) respectively, at 45 minutes after administration; 0.4, 0.6 and N.D. at 1 hour; 0.12; 0.2 and N.D, at 2 hours; N.D., less than 0.1, N.D. at 4 hours; N.D. in all the cases at 6 hours. 2) Clinical results. MOM dry syrup was administered to 25 children. The efficacy rate was 68.75% except for 1 dropout case and the elimination rate of 11 isolated strains of group A Streptococcus was 9.09% in 16 cases of scarlet fever and 1 of acute pharyngitis caused by group A Streptococcus. With 6 cases of pertussis were eradicated. The clinical response to 1 with acute bronchitis and 1 with Mycoplasma pneumonia were good and poor respectively. 3) Side effect. No clinical side effect and abnormal laboratory findings were observed in any of the 25 cases administered MOM dry syrup.
