Abstract
Azithromycin (CAS 83905-01-5), a new azalide antibiotic, reached high concentrations in alveolar macrophages obtained from patients. Uptake of [14C] azithromycin by macrophages resulted in an intracellular/extracellular concentration ratio of approximately 634 after 90 min incubation. Electron microscopic autoradiography provided visual evidence for the marked uptake and localization of [3H] azithromycin in human neutrophils and monocytes isolated from healthy volunteers. Quantitative analysis of the autoradiographs showed the distribution of azithromycin over the various compartments of the phagocytic cells.
