    1) Tissue concentrations of cefamandole (CMD) one hour after the end of2g/30-60minutes drip infusion were7.3-13μg/g in uterus, ovary and oviduct.These concentrations were higher than MICs of 70-100% of causative organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter and Citrobacter, isolated from the infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
    2) CMD was administered to14patients with moderate infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology at a daily dose of 4 g for 5-7 days. The overall clinical efficacy obtained was as follows; excellent in7cases (50%), good in3cases (21%) and poor in4cases (29%).
    3) Antimicrobial activity of CMD against causative organisms resembled that of CEZ.
    4) No adverse effects and abnormal laboratory findings were observed.
    From the above, we considered that CMD was an effective and safe antibiotic against infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

    Japan White rabbits were treated with aclacinomycin A, a new anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, at a dose of 6.25 or 25.0 mg/kg by single intravenous, or 12.5 or 50.0 mg/kg by single oral administration, respectively. Beagle dogs were treated at a dose of 3.0 or 6.0 mg/kg by singleintravenous injection. In rabbits in higher dose groups, RBC and WBC counts as well as lymphocyte ratio in peripheral blood decreased on day 1. Nucleated cell counts and erythroid elements in bone marrow decreasedt.o raise M/E ratio (Myeloid/Erythroidr atio) on day 3. In a dog given at 6.0 mg/kg, WBC and platelet counts, lymphocyte and neutrocyte per cents in peripheral blood and also nucleated cells. particularly erythroid elements in bone marrow remarkably decreased on day 3 accompanied with an increase in M/E ratio. These changes were almost completely recovered by day 14 in both animals. No abnormalities were found in lower dose groups. Male Wistar rats, treated with the drugat a dose of 1.5 mg/kg by daily intraperitoneal injection for 30 days, showed slight decreases in peripheral WBC and RBC counts and M/E ratio in bone marrow. No change was observed in rats treated at 0, 75mg/kg and less for 30 days.

    Aclacinomycin A, a new anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, was given to rabbits by single instillation or single intracutaneous injection and to guinea pigs by single subcutaneous or intramuscular injection to examine the irritative effect.
    Slight dilatation of blood vessel and swelling in the conjunctiva and nictitating membrane were observed in the eyes of rabbits given 1% solution.Edema in the bulbar conjunctiva, iris and cornea was histologically noted.Washing of the eyes after drug instillation prevented these damages.Subcutaneous and intracutaneous injections of 1% solution (0.2 ml) gave hyperemia, swelling and necrosis at injection site.Cellular infiltration, fibrosis and necrosis were histologically detected.
    Intramuscular injection of1% solution (0.2ml) also provided induration and swelling at injection site.Histologically cellular infiltration and necrosis were observed. These irritative effects were much slighter in administration of 0.1%solutiom. No change was observed with 0.01% solution.

    Aclacinomycin is an antitumor anthracycline antibiotic isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces galilaeus MA144-M1.In this study, the effects of heat, light and pH on the aqueous solution of aclacinomycin hydrochloride (ACM-HC1) were investigated.The following, results were found:
    (1) The kinetic studies revealed that the thermal inactivation of ACM-HC1 solution (pH 4.5) was based on the apparent first-order reaction and that ARRHENIUS equation was confirmed to be established between the rate constants and temperatures.When ACM-HC1 solution was stored at 20, 10 and 5°C, the estimated term of ACM-HC1 solution at the time when the initial activity (100%) reduced to 90% residual concentration was 1.5, 6 and 12 months, respectively.
    (2) It was clarified by pH-log k profile that ACM-HC1 solution was most stable near at pH 4.5.
    (3) The higher the buffer concentration was used, the faster the degradation rate, but there was no difference between the residual activity ratios at the various concentrations of ACM-HC1 solution.
    (4) The inactivation of ACM-HC1 solution under sunlight occurred in a type of zero-order reaction so that the faster inactivation rates were obtained at the more diluted concentrations of ACMHCI.
    (5) The major degradation products of ACM-HC1 solution were 1-deoxypyrromycin (DP), MA144 Si (Si) and bisanhydroaklavinone (F1).DP and S1 were mainly found at pH below4.0and Fl at pH above5.0.The degradation under sunlight gave Ll (N-monodemethyl ACM) accompanied by the degradation of aglycone moiety in part.

    Clinical trials with KW-1062, a new aminoglycoside antibiotic, were carried out on the basis of the pre-clinical studies.
    Absorption and excretion of KW-1062 were studied in the healthy adults after single and multiple intramuscular administration. The blood concentration at single administration of 120 and 180mg of KW-1062 reached the peak of 7 and 12μ/ml respectively 30 minutes after administration.The half life was constantly about 2 hours. The 10-hour urinary recovery rate was 55.6% and 60.8% at each of the above doses.No accumulation of KW-1062 in plasma was observed with multiple administration of 180 mg twice a day for 5 days.No adverse reactions (on blood, renal function and hearing) were observed.From these results, the dose of 360mg/day proved to be as safe as that of 240mg/day.
    KW-1062 was administered to 155 patients at daily dose of 240mg and 360mg for 1-11 days. The cases collected and analyzed consisted of 105 patients with complicated U.T.I., 10 with acute and uncomplicated pyelonephritis, 16 with infection of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury and others.Of 105 patients with complicated U.T.I., 65 were administered KW-1062 at 360 mg daily, and 40 at 240mg.KW-1062 was found to be effective in 52.5% of the 240mg/day group, in 40% of the 360mg/day group of complicated U.T.I., when evaluated on the basis of the criteria by the U.T.I.study group, and in 90% of patients with acute and uncomplicated pyelonephritis.
    Of 155 patients subjected to KW-1062 treatment, only one experienced tinnitus and nausea, and 17 had abnormal values in their laboratory findings.
