| Abstract: | The effect of various concentrations of ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and lomefloxacin on the morphokinetic parameters of the cellular elements of the lung tissue of intact animals (mice, guinea pigs and dogs) was studied under the conditions of the tissue culture. It was shown that in a concentration of 100 micrograms/ml and the exposure time of 24 hours the drugs had no effect on the mobility and structure of the lung tissue cellular elements. When the drugs were used in a concentration of 100 micrograms/ml the mobility rate of the lymphocytes and macrophages proved to by markedly retarded by the end of the 24th hour. In a concentration of 1000 micrograms/ml the drugs killed the cell culture. There were detected no specific differences in the effect of the fluoroquinolones on the cellular elements of the lung tissue of the intact animals. |
