KW-1062 120 mg was intramuscularly administered to five healthy adult volunteers. After 30 minutes, they presented 7.28 ig/m1 of peak blood concentration. Mean recovery rate in urine was 84.5% for 24 hours.When administered to three healthy adult volunteers every 12 hours for 5 days, no accumulation of the drug in blood was observed.Overall clinical efficacy rate of KW-1062 was 71.6% in the treatment of 95 cases with respiratory tract infections. 72.2% of 36 patients with chronic bronchitis or panbronchitis and 69.0% of 42 patients with pneumonia or bronchopneumonia responded well to the drug.Side effects were encountered with 11 cases (9.8%). The results obtained suggest that the drug is useful in the treatment of respiratory tract infections due to gram-negative bacilli.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
