【 摘 要 】

References(15)Cited-By(1)Erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, permeates through liquid membranes without a carrier. The contribution of local resistances to the overall permeation resistance is conceived from the permeation mechanism.According to measured distribution equilibria of erythromycin between aqueous and oil phases and previously reported dissociation equilibrium of erythromycin in the aqueous phase, the distribution coefficient of free erythromycin is constant for each oil phase and independent of proton concentration.In a supported liquid membrane, a high degree of concentration is attained in the case of a 1-decanol membrane. Not only the membrane phase but also the two aqueous phases contribute to overall resistance. For the heptane membrane, the controlling step is predicted to be in the membrane phase.An emulsion liquid membrane also concentrates erythromycin in the stripping phase, however, it gives a low degree of concentration which is ascribed to undesirable reduction of the overall permeation coefficient. For a m-xylene membrane, the controlling resistance is in the membrane and stripping phases, and for the heptane membrane, it is in the membrane phase.
