Abstract |
The nanoparticulate formulation of lipomer doxycycline hydrochloride (lipomer DH) has been synthesized for the treatment of Brucellosis to increase efficacy of the drug. The present study was undertaken to determine the intravenous safety of blank lipomer and Lipomer DH in terms of maximum tolerated dose in rats. It was observed that blank lipomer and lipomer DH were safe when administered intravenously at doses 2000 mg/kg Bw and 18 mg/kg bw respectively.
