Published: March 2005

A liposomal preparation with maximally possible content of incorporated geliomycin was obtained. Its cytotoxicity was studied in a culture of human embryonal diploid fibroblasts. Antiviral activity was studied on a model of cytomegaloviral infection in vitro by the capacity to plaque formation. Liposomal geliomycin was 10-fold less toxic for human cells than the solution of the antibiotic in DMSO and exhibited antiviral activity towards cytomegaloviral infection at a concentration of 0.042 microg/ml.
