Possible local application of a new dosage form of bleomycetin (bleomycin) with the prolonged action was studied in experimental in vivo models. When the ion exchange textile polymer with the immobilized bleomycetin was implanted subcutaneously to tumor-bearing mice, there was observed marked inhibition of the growth of the following tumors: lung carcinomatosis (LLC), melanoma B-16 and lympholeukemia (NK/Ly). The implants proved to be less toxic by comparison to bleomycetin solutions. The new bleomycetin dosage form is useful as a new delivery system increasing the antibiotic selective action.
