The therapeutic effectiveness of rifampicin as a free form and a component of multilamellar phosphatidylcholine cholesterol liposomes was studied on a model of generalized tuberculosis in BALB/c mice. Rifampicin as a liposomal form was found to have no advantages over its free form. Possible mechanisms of the phenomenon and prospects for using liposomes in the chemotherapy of tuberculosis are discussed.
