ObjectiveTo assess the effects of cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitors (ketoconazole, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, fluoxetine, cimetidine and medetomidine) in various combinations on the pharmacokinetics of oral methadone in Greyhound dogs to determine the specific effects of the different inhibitors and if a clinically relevant interaction occurs.Study designNon-randomized, sequential design.AnimalsSix healthy Greyhound dogs (three male, three female).MethodsCanine CYP inhibitors (ketoconazole, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, fluoxetine, cimetidine and medetomidine) were administered in varying combinations prior to the administration of oral methadone. Plasma was obtained from each dog to enable the determination of methadone and CYP inhibitor drug concentrations using liquid chromatography with either mass spectrometry or ultraviolet detection.ResultsSignificant increases in the area under the curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentrations (CMAX) of methadone occurred in all groups administered chloramphenicol. The AUC (6 hours ng mL−1) and CMAX (6 ng mL−1) of methadone significantly increased to 541 hours ng mL−1 and 47.8 ng mL−1, respectively, when methadone was administered with chloramphenicol as a sole inhibitor. There were no significant effects of CYP inhibitors other than chloramphenicol on methadone pharmacokinetics, which suggests that chloramphenicol was primarily responsible for the pharmacokinetic interaction.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThis study demonstrated significant effects of chloramphenicol on the pharmacokinetics of oral methadone. Further studies should investigate the effects of chloramphenicol on methadone pharmacokinetics in multiple dog breeds and examine whether oral methadone would be an effective analgesic in dogs. In addition, the safety of chloramphenicol and its effects on the pharmacokinetics of parenteral methadone warrant assessment.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacokinetics and effects of methadone on behaviour and plasma concentrations of cortisol and vasopressin in healthy dogs.Study designRandomized, cross-over, experimental trial.AnimalsNine adult dogs (beagle and beagle cross breeds), four males and five females.MethodsMethadone hydrochloride, 0.4 mg kg?1, was administered intravenously (IV) and subcutaneously (SC) with a crossover design. Drug and hormone analyses in plasma were performed using Liquid Chromatography–Electrospray Ionization–Tandem Mass Spectrometry and radioimmunoassay respectively. Behavioural data were collected using a standardized protocol.ResultsAfter IV administration, the plasma concentration of methadone at 10 minutes was 82.1 ± 9.2 ng mL?1 (mean ± SD), the terminal half-life was 3.9 ± 1.0 hours, the volume of distribution 9.2 ± 3.3 L kg?1 and plasma clearance 27.9 ± 7.6 mL minute?1 kg?1. After SC administration, time to maximal plasma concentration was 1.26 ± 1.04 hours and maximal plasma concentration of methadone was 23.9 ± 14.4 ng mL?1, the terminal half-life was 10.7 ± 4.3 hours and bioavailability was 79 ± 22%. Concentrations of both cortisol and vasopressin were increased for an hour following IV methadone. The observed behavioural effects of methadone were decreased licking and swallowing and an increase in whining after SC administration. The latter finding is notable as it can be misinterpreted as pain when methadone is used as an analgesic.Conclusion and clinical relevanceWhen methadone was administered by the SC route, the half-life was longer, but the individual variation in plasma concentrations was greater compared with IV administration. Increased frequency of whining occurred after administration of methadone and may be a drug effect and not a sign of pain. Cortisol and vasopressin concentrations in plasma may not be suitable for evaluating analgesia after methadone treatment.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacokinetics of carprofen after a single intravenous (IV) dose and multiple oral doses administered to pigs undergoing electroporation of the pancreas.Study designProspective experimental study.AnimalsA group of eight female pigs weighing 31.74 ± 2.24 kg (mean ± standard deviation).MethodsCarprofen 4 mg kg?1 was administered IV after placement of a central venous catheter during general anaesthesia with isoflurane. Blood samples were collected 30 seconds before and 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after carprofen administration. Subsequently, the same dose of carprofen was administered orally, daily, for 6 consecutive days and blood collected at 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144 and 168 hours after initial carprofen administration. Plasma was analysed using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. Standard pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by compartmental analysis of plasma concentration–time curves. Data are presented as mean ± standard error.ResultsThe initial plasma concentration of IV carprofen was estimated at 54.57 ± 3.92 μg mL?1 and decreased to 8.26 ± 1.07 μg mL?1 24 hours later. The plasma elimination curve showed a bi-exponential decline: a rapid distribution phase with a distribution half-life of 0.21 ± 0.03 hours and a slower elimination phase with an elimination half-life of 17.31 ± 3.78 hours. The calculated pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: the area under the plasma concentration–time curve was 357.3 ± 16.73 μg mL?1 hour, volume of distribution was 0.28 ± 0.07 L kg?1 and plasma clearance rate was 0.19 ± 0.009 mL minute?1 kg?1. The plasma concentration of carprofen, administered orally from days 2 to 7, varied from 9.03 ± 1.87 to 11.49 ± 2.15 μg mL?1.Conclusions and clinical relevanceCarprofen can be regarded as a long-acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in pigs.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess the pharmacokinetics of hydromorphone administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC) to dogs.Study designRandomized experimental trial.AnimalsSeven healthy male neutered Beagles aged 12.13 ± 1.2 months and weighing 11.72 ± 1.10 kg.MethodsThe study was a randomized Latin square block design. Dogs were randomly assigned to receive hydromorphone hydrochloride 0.1 mg kg−1 or 0.5 mg kg−1 IV (n = 4 dogs) or 0.1 mg kg−1 (n = 6) or 0.5 mg kg−1 (n = 5) SC on separate occasions with a minimum 14-day washout between experiments. Blood was sampled via a vascular access port at serial intervals after drug administration. Serum was analyzed by mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined with computer software.ResultsSerum concentrations of hydromorphone decreased quickly after both routes of administration of either dose. The serum half-life, clearance, and volume of distribution after IV hydromorphone at 0.1 mg kg−1 were 0.57 hours (geometric mean), 106.28 mL minute−1 kg−1, and 5.35 L kg−1, and at 0.5 mg kg−1 were 1.00 hour, 60.30 mL minute−1 kg−1, and 5.23 L kg−1, respectively. The serum half-life after SC hydromorphone at 0.1 mg kg−1 and 0.5 mg kg−1 was 0.66 hours and 1.11 hours, respectively.Conclusions and clinical relevanceHydromorphone has a short half-life, suggesting that frequent dosing intervals are needed. Based on pharmacokinetic parameters calculated in this study, 0.1 mg kg−1 IV or SC q 2 hours or a constant rate infusion of hydromorphone at 0.03 mg kg−1 hour−1 are suggested for future studies to assess the analgesic effect of hydromorphone.  相似文献

This study reports the pharmacokinetics of oral amitriptyline and its active metabolite nortriptyline in Greyhound dogs. Five healthy Greyhound dogs were enrolled in a randomized crossover design. A single oral dose of amitriptyline hydrochloride (actual mean dose 8.1 per kg) was administered to fasted or fed dogs. Blood samples were collected at predetermined times from 0 to 24 h after administration, and plasma drug concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analyses were performed. Two dogs in the fasted group vomited following amitriptyline administration and were excluded from analysis. The range of amitriptyline CMAX for the remaining fasted dogs (n = 3) was 22.8–64.5 ng/mL compared to 30.6–127 ng/mL for the fed dogs (n = 5). The range of the amitriptyline AUCINF for the three fasted dogs was 167–720 h·ng/mL compared to 287–1146 h·ng/mL for fed dogs. The relative bioavailability of amitriptyline in fasted dogs compared to fed dogs was 69–91% (n = 3). The exposure of the active metabolite nortriptyline was correlated to amitriptyline exposure (R2 = 0.84). Due to pharmacokinetic variability and the small number of dogs completing this study, further studies are needed assessing the impact of feeding on oral amitriptyline pharmacokinetics. Amitriptyline may be more likely to cause vomiting in fasted dogs.  相似文献

ObjectiveThe objective was to examine the effects of inhibiting cytochrome P450 (CYP) on the pharmacokinetics of oral methadone in dogs.Study designProspective non-randomized experimental trial.AnimalsSix healthy Greyhounds (three male and three female).MethodsThe study was divided into two phases. Oral methadone (mean = 2.1 mg kg?1 PO) was administered as whole tablets in Phase 1. In Phase 2 oral methadone (2.1 mg kg?1 PO) was administered concurrently with ketoconazole (13.0 mg kg?1 PO q 24 hours), chloramphenicol (48.7 mg kg?1 PO q 12 hours), fluoxetine (1.3 mg kg?1 PO q 24 hours), and trimethoprim (6.5 mg kg?1 PO q 24 hours). Blood was obtained for analysis of methadone plasma concentrations by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (Tmax), and the area under the curve from time 0 to the last measurable time point above the limit of quantification of the analytical assay (AUC0–LAST) were compared statistically.ResultsThe Cmax of methadone was significantly different (p = 0.016) for Phase 1 (5.5 ng mL?1) and Phase 2 (171.9 ng mL?1). The AUC0–LAST was also significantly different (p = 0.004) for Phase 1 (13.1 hour ng mL?1) and Phase 2 (3075.2 hour ng mL?1).Conclusion and clinical relevanceConcurrent administration of CYP inhibitors with methadone significantly increased the area under the curve and plasma concentrations of methadone after oral administration to dogs. Further studies are needed assessing more clinically relevant combinations of methadone and CYP inhibitors.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the behavioral effects and pharmacokinetics of methadone in healthy Greyhounds.Study designProspective experimental study.AnimalsThree male and three female healthy Greyhounds.MethodsMethadone hydrochloride, 0.5 mg kg−1 IV (equivalent to 0.45 mg kg−1 methadone base), was administered as an IV bolus. Trained observers subjectively assessed the behavioral effects of methadone. Blood samples were obtained at predetermined time points and plasma methadone concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic variables were estimated with computer software.ResultsMethadone was well tolerated by the dogs with panting and defecation observed as adverse effects. Mild sedation was present, but no vomiting, excitement, or dysphoria was observed. The elimination half-life, volume of distribution, and plasma clearance were 1.53 ± 0.18 hours, 7.79 ± 1.87 L kg−1, and 56.04 ± 9.36 mL minute−1 kg−1, respectively.Conclusions and clinical relevanceMethadone was well tolerated by Greyhounds. The volume of distribution was larger than expected, with resultant lower plasma concentrations than expected. Higher doses may need to be administered to Greyhounds in comparison with non-Greyhound dogs in order to achieve similar plasma drug concentrations. A dosage of 1–1.5 mg kg−1 every 3–4 hours is suggested for future studies of analgesic efficacy of methadone in Greyhounds.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacokinetics of orally and intravenously (IV) administered meloxicam in semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus).Study designA crossover design with an 11 day washout period.AnimalsA total of eight young male reindeer, aged 1.5–2.5 years and weighing 74.3 ± 6.3 kg, mean ± standard deviation.MethodsThe reindeer were administered meloxicam (0.5 mg kg–1 IV or orally). Blood samples were repeatedly collected from the jugular vein for up to 72 hours post administration. Plasma samples were analysed for meloxicam concentrations with ultraperformance liquid chromatography combined with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Noncompartmental analysis for determination of pharmacokinetic variables was performed.ResultsThe pharmacokinetic values, median (range), were determined. Elimination half-life (t½) with the IV route (n = 4) was 15.2 (13.2–16.8) hours, the volume of distribution at steady state was 133 (113–151) mL kg?1 and clearance was 3.98 (2.63–5.29) mL hour–1 kg–1. After oral administration (n = 7), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was detected at 6 hours, t½ was 19.3 (16.7–20.5) hours, Cmax 1.82 (1.17–2.78) μg mL–1 and bioavailability (n = 3) 49 (46–73)%. No evident adverse effects were detected after either administration route.Conclusions and clinical relevanceA single dose of meloxicam (0.5 mg kg–1 IV or orally) has the potential to maintain the therapeutic concentration determined in other species for up to 3 days in reindeer plasma.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo describe the pharmacokinetics of pregabalin in normal dogs after a single oral dose.Study designProspective experiment.AnimalsSix adult Labrador/Greyhound dogs (four females and two males) aged 2.6 (2.6–5.6) years old (median and range) weighing 33.4 (26.8–42.1) kg.MethodsAfter jugular vein catheterization, the dogs received a single oral dose of pregabalin (～4 mg kg?1). Blood samples were collected at: 0 (before drug administration), 15 and 30 minutes and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours after drug administration. Plasma pregabalin concentration was measured by HPLC. Noncompartmental analysis was used to estimate pharmacokinetic variables.ResultsNo adverse effects were observed. The median (range) pharmacokinetic parameters were: Area under the curve from time 0 to 36 hours = 81.8 (56.5–92.1) μg hour mL?1; absorption half-life = 0.38 (0.25–1.11) hours; elimination half-life = 6.90 (6.21–7.40) hours; time over 2.8 μg mL?1 (the presumed minimal effective concentration) = 11.11 (6.97–14.47) hours; maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) = 7.15 (4.6–7.9) μg mL?1; time for Cmax to occur = 1.5 (1.0–4.0) hours. Assuming an 8-hour dosing interval, predicted minimal, average, and maximal steady state plasma concentrations were 6.5 (4.8–8.1), 8.8 (7.3–10.9), and 13.0 (8.8–15.2) μg mL?1. The corresponding values assuming a 12-hour interval were 3.8 (2.4–4.8), 6.8 (4.9–7.9), and 10.1 (6.6–11.6) μg mL?1.Conclusions and clinical relevancePregabalin 4 mg kg?1 PO produces plasma concentrations within the extrapolated therapeutic range from humans for sufficient time to suggest that a twice daily dosing regime would be adequate. Further study of the drug's safety and efficacy for the treatment of neuropathic pain and seizures in dogs is warranted.  相似文献

Objective To evaluate disposition of a single dose of butorphanol in goats after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration and to relate behavioral changes after butorphanol administration with plasma concentrations. Design Randomized experimental study. Animals Six healthy 3‐year‐old neutered goats (one male and five female) weighing 46.5 ± 10.5 kg (mean ± D). Methods Goats were given IV and IM butorphanol (0.1 mg kg?1) using a randomized cross‐over design with a 1‐week interval between treatments. Heparinized blood samples were collected at fixed intervals for subsequent determination of plasma butorphanol concentrations using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pharmacokinetic values (volume of distribution at steady state [VdSS], systemic clearance [ClTB], extrapolated peak plasma concentration [C0] or estimated peak plasma concentration [CMAX], time to estimated peak plasma concentration [TMAX], distribution and elimination half‐lives [t1/2], and bioavailability) were calculated. Behavior was subjectively scored. A two‐tailed paired t‐test was used to compare the elimination half‐lives after IV and IM administration. Behavioral scores are reported as median (range). A Friedman Rank Sums test adjusted for ties was used to analyze the behavioral scores. A logit model was used to determine the effect of time and concentration on behavior. A value of p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results Volume of distribution at steady state after IV administration of butorphanol was 1.27 ± 0.73 L kg?1, and ClTB was 0.0096 ± 0.0024 L kg?1 minute?1. Extrapolated C0 of butorphanol after IV administration was 146.5 ± 49.8 ng mL?1. Estimated CMAX after IM administration of butorphanol was 54.98 ± 14.60 ng mL?1, and TMAX was 16.2 ± 5.2 minutes; bioavailability was 82 ± 41%. Elimination half‐life of butorphanol was 1.87 ± 1.49 and 2.75 ± 1.93 hours for IV and IM administration, respectively. Goats became hyperactive after butorphanol administration within the first 5 minutes after administration. Behavioral scores for goats were significantly different from baseline at 15 minutes after IV administration and at 15 and 30 minutes after IM administration. Both time and plasma butorphanol concentration were predictors of behavior. Behavioral scores of all goats had returned to baseline by 120 minutes after IV administration and by 240 minutes after IM administration. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance The dose of butorphanol (0.1 mg kg?1, IV or IM) being used clinically to treat postoperative pain in goats has an elimination half‐life of 1.87 and 2.75 hours, respectively. Nonpainful goats become transiently excited after IV and IM administration of butorphanol. Clinical trials to validate the efficacy of butorphanol as an analgesic in goats are needed.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare, versus a control, the sensory, sympathetic and motor blockade of lidocaine 1% and 2% administered epidurally in bitches undergoing ovariohysterectomy.Study designRandomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial.AnimalsA total of 24 mixed-breed intact female dogs.MethodsAll dogs were administered dexmedetomidine, tramadol and meloxicam prior to general anesthesia with midazolam–propofol and isoflurane. Animals were randomly assigned for an epidural injection of lidocaine 1% (0.4 mL kg−1; group L1), lidocaine 2% (0.4 mL kg−1; group L2) or no injection (group CONTROL). Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (fR), end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pe′CO2), and invasive systolic (SAP), mean (MAP) and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressures were recorded every 5 minutes. Increases in physiological variables were treated with fentanyl (3 μg kg−1) intravenously (IV). Phenylephrine (1 μg kg−1) was administered IV when MAP was <60 mmHg. Postoperative pain [Glasgow Composite Pain Score – Short Form (GCPS–SF)] and return of normal ambulation were recorded at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours after extubation.ResultsThere were no differences over time or among groups for HR, fR, Pe′CO2 and SAP. MAP and DAP were lower in epidural groups than in CONTROL (p = 0.0146 and 0.0047, respectively). There was no difference in the use of phenylephrine boluses. More fentanyl was administered in CONTROL than in L1 and L2 (p = 0.011). GCPS–SF was lower for L2 than for CONTROL, and lower in L1 than in both other groups (p = 0.001). Time to ambulation was 2 (1–2) hours in L1 and 3 (2–4) hours in L2 (p = 0.004).Conclusions and clinical relevanceEpidural administration of lidocaine (0.4 mL kg−1) reduced fentanyl requirements and lowered MAP and DAP. Time to ambulation decreased and postoperative pain scores were improved by use of 1% lidocaine compared with 2% lidocaine.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of oral amitriptyline in horses. Oral amitriptyline (1 mg/kg) was administered to six horses. Blood samples were collected from jugular and lateral thoracic vein at predetermined times from 0 to 24 hr after administration. Plasma concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed using noncompartmental methods. Pharmacodynamic parameters including heart rate, respiration rate, and intestinal motility were evaluated, and electrocardiographic examinations were performed in all subjects. The mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of amitriptyline was 30.7 ng/ml, time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) 1–2 hr, elimination half-life (t1/2) 17.2 hr, area under plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) 487.4 ng ml−1 hr−1, apparent clearance (Cl/F) 2.6 L hr−1 kg−1, and apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) 60.1 L/kg. Jugular vein sampling overestimated the amount of amitriptyline absorbed and should not be used to study uptake following oral administration. Heart rate and intestinal motility showed significant variation (p < .05). Electrocardiography did not provide conclusive results. Further studies are required to discern if multiple dose treatment would take the drug to steady state as expected, consequently increasing plasma concentrations.  相似文献

ObjectiveFlupirtine (FLU) is a non-opioid analgesic with no antipyretic or anti-inflammatory effects which is used in the treatment of pain in humans. There is a substantial body of evidence on the efficacy of FLU in humans but this is inadequate for the recommendation of its off-label use in veterinary clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of FLU after intravenous (IV), oral immediate release (POIR), oral prolonged release (POPR) and rectal (RC) administrations in healthy dogs.Study designFour-treatment, single-dose, four-phase, unpaired, cross-over design (4 × 4 Latin-square).AnimalsSix adult Labrador dogs.MethodsAnimals in groups 1, 2 and 4 received a single dose of 5 mg kg−1 FLU administered by IV, POIR and RC routes. Group 3 received a single dose of 200 mg subject−1 via the POPR route. The wash-out periods were 1 week. Blood samples (1 mL) were collected at assigned times for 48 hours and plasma FLU concentrations were analysed by a validated HPLC method.ResultsAdverse effects including salivation, tremors and vomiting were noted in the IV group and resolved spontaneously within 10 minutes. These effects did not occur in the other groups. The FLU plasma concentrations were detectable in all of the treatment groups for 36 hours following administration. The pharmacokinetic profiles after extravascular administrations showed similar trends. The bioavailability values after POIR, POPR and RC were 41.93%, 36.78% and 29.43%, respectively. There were no significant differences in pharmacokinetic profiles between the POIR and POPR formulations. A 5 mg kg−1 POIR dose or a 200 mg subject−1 POPR dose gave plasma concentrations similar to those reported in humans after clinical dosing.Conclusion and clinical relevanceThis study provides pharmacokinetic data that can be used to design further studies to investigate FLU in dogs.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo describe the pharmacokinetics and adverse effects of intravenous (IV) and sublingual (SL) buprenorphine in horses, and to determine the effect of sampling site on plasma concentrations after SL administration.Study designRandomized crossover experiment; prospective study.AnimalsEleven healthy adult horses between 6 and 20 years of age and weighing 487–592 kg.MethodsIn the first phase; buprenorphine was administered as a single IV or SL dose (0.006 mg kg?1) and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for each route of administration using a noncompartmental model. In the second phase; the jugular and lateral thoracic veins were catheterized for simultaneous venous blood sampling, following a dose of 0.006 mg kg?1 SL buprenorphine. For both phases, plasma buprenorphine concentrations were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. At each sampling period, horses were assessed for behavioral excitement and gastrointestinal motility.ResultsFollowing IV administration, buprenorphine mean ± SD half-life was 5.79 ± 1.09 hours. Systemic clearance (Cl) following IV administration was 6.13 ± 0.86 mL kg?1 minute?1 and volume of distribution at steady-state was 3.16 ± 0.65 L kg?1. Following IV administration, horses showed signs of excitement. Gastrointestinal sounds were decreased following both routes of administration; however, none of the horses exhibited signs of colic. There was a significant discrepancy between plasma buprenorphine concentrations measured in the jugular vein versus the lateral thoracic vein following phase 2, thus pharmacokinetic parameters following SL buprenorphine are not reported.Conclusions and clinical relevanceBuprenorphine has a long plasma half-life and results in plasma concentrations that are consistent with analgesia in other species for up to 4 hours following IV administration of this dose in horses. While buprenorphine is absorbed into the circulation following SL administration, jugular venous sampling gave a false measurement of the quantity absorbed and should not be used to study the uptake from SL administration.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydromorphone in horses after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration.Study designRandomized, masked, crossover design.AnimalsA total of six adult horses weighing [mean ± standard deviation (SD))] 447 ± 61 kg.MethodsHorses were administered three treatments with a 7 day washout. Treatments were hydromorphone 0.04 mg kg⁻1 IV with saline administered IM (H-IV), hydromorphone 0.04 mg kg⁻1 IM with saline IV (H-IM), or saline IV and IM (P). Blood was collected for hydromorphone plasma concentration at multiple time points for 24 hours after treatments. Pharmacodynamic data were collected for 24 hours after treatments. Variables included thermal nociceptive threshold, heart rate (HR), respiratory frequency (fR), rectal temperature, and fecal weight. Data were analyzed using mixed-effects linear models. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThe mean ± SD hydromorphone terminal half-life (t1/2), clearance and volume of distribution of H-IV were 19 ± 8 minutes, 79 ± 12.9 mL minute⁻1 kg⁻1 and 1125 ± 309 mL kg⁻1. The t1/2 was 26.7 ± 9.25 minutes for H-IM. Area under the curve was 518 ± 87.5 and 1128 ± 810 minute ng mL⁻1 for H-IV and H-IM, respectively. The IM bioavailability was 217%. The overall thermal thresholds for both H-IV and H-IM were significantly greater than P (p < 0.0001 for both) and baseline (p = 0.006). There was no difference in thermal threshold between H-IV and H-IM. No difference was found in physical examination variables among groups or in comparison to baseline. Fecal weight was significantly less than P for H-IV and H-IM (p = 0.02).Conclusions and clinical relevanceIM hydromorphone has high bioavailability and provides a similar degree of antinociception to IV administration.IM hydromorphone in horses provides a similar degree and duration of antinociception to IV administration.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo quantify the peripheral selectivity of vatinoxan (L-659,066, MK-467) in dogs by comparing the concentrations of vatinoxan, dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine in plasma and central nervous system (CNS) tissue after intravenous (IV) coadministration of vatinoxan and medetomidine.Study designExperimental, observational study.AnimalsA group of six healthy, purpose-bred Beagle dogs (four females and two males) aged 6.5 ± 0.1 years (mean ± standard deviation).MethodsAll dogs were administered a combination of medetomidine (40 μg kg−1) and vatinoxan (800 μg kg−1) as IV bolus. After 20 minutes, the dogs were euthanized with an IV overdose of pentobarbital (140 mg kg−1) and both venous plasma and CNS tissues (brain, cervical and lumbar spinal cord) were harvested. Concentrations of dexmedetomidine, levomedetomidine and vatinoxan in all samples were quantified by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and data were analyzed with nonparametric tests with post hoc corrections where appropriate.ResultsAll dogs became deeply sedated after the treatment. The CNS-to-plasma ratio of vatinoxan concentration was approximately 1:50, whereas the concentrations of dexmedetomidine and levomedetomidine in the CNS were three- to seven-fold of those in plasma.Conclusions and clinical relevanceWith the doses studied, these results confirm the peripheral selectivity of vatinoxan in dogs, when coadministered IV with medetomidine. Thus, it is likely that vatinoxan preferentially antagonizes α2-adrenoceptors outside the CNS.  相似文献

ObjectiveNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX) in tissues and used as therapeutic agents in different species. Grapiprant, a member of the piprant class of compounds, antagonizes prostaglandin receptors. It is a highly selective EP4 prostaglandin E2 receptor inhibitor, thereby limiting the potential for adverse effects caused by wider COX inhibition. The objectives of this study were to determine if the approved canine dose would result in measurable concentrations in horses, and to validate a chromatographic method of analysis for grapiprant in urine and plasma.Study designExperimental study.AnimalsA total of six healthy, adult mixed-breed mares weighing 502 ± 66 (397–600) kg and aged 14.8 ± 5.3 (6–21) years.MethodsMares were administered one dose of 2 mg kg–1 grapiprant via nasogastric tube. Blood and urine samples were collected prior to and up to 48 hours after drug administration. Drug concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.ResultsGrapiprant plasma concentrations ranged from 71 to 149 ng mL–1 with the mean peak concentration (106 ng mL–1) occurring at 30 minutes. Concentrations were below the lower limit of quantification (50 ng mL–1) in four of six horses at 1 hour and in all six horses by 2 hours after drug administration. Grapiprant urine concentrations ranged from 40 to 4077 ng mL–1 and were still detectable at 48 hours after administration.Conclusions and clinical relevanceCurrently, there are no published studies looking at the pharmacodynamics of grapiprant in horses. The effective concentration needed to control pain in dogs ranges 114–164 ng mL–1. Oral administration of grapiprant (2 mg kg–1) in horses did not achieve those concentrations. The dose was well tolerated; therefore, studies with larger doses could be conducted.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the effects of intramuscular (IM) administration of medetomidine and xylazine on intraocular pressure (IOP) and pupil size in normal dogs.Study designProspective, randomized, experimental, crossover trial.AnimalsFive healthy, purpose-bred Beagle dogs.MethodsEach dog was administered 11 IM injections of, respectively: physiological saline; medetomidine at doses of 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg kg−1, and xylazine at doses of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 mg kg−1. Injections were administered at least 1 week apart. IOP and pupil size were measured at baseline (before treatment) and at 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 24 hours post-injection.ResultsA significant decrease in IOP was observed at 6 hours after 80 μg kg−1 medetomidine compared with values at 0.25 and 0.50 hours, although there were no significant changes in IOP from baseline. In dogs treated with 8.0 mg kg−1 xylazine, significant reductions in IOP were observed at 4 and 5 hours compared with that at 0.25 hours after administration. In dogs treated with 5, 10, 20 and 40 μg kg−1 medetomidine and 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg kg−1 xylazine, there were no significant changes in IOP. Pupil size did not change significantly after any of the medetomidine or xylazine treatments compared with the baseline value.Conclusions and clinical relevanceLow or moderate doses of medetomidine or xylazine did not induce significant changes in IOP or pupil size. In contrast, high doses of medetomidine or xylazine induced significant changes up to 8 hours after treatment, but values remained within the normal canine physiological range. The results of this study suggest a lack of significant change in IOP and pupil size in healthy dogs administered low or moderate doses of xylazine or medetomidine.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo describe the pharmacokinetics of detomidine and yohimbine when administered in combination.Study designRandomized crossover design.AnimalsNine healthy adult horses aged 9 ± 4 years and weighing of 561 ± 56 kg.MethodsThree dose regimens were employed in the current study. 1) 0.03 mg kg?1 detomidine IV (D), 2) 0.2 mg kg?1 yohimbine IV (Y) and 3) 0.03 mg kg?1 detomidine IV followed 15 minutes later by 0.2 mg kg?1 yohimbine IV (DY). Each horse received all three dose regimens with a minimum of 1 week in between subsequent regimens. Blood samples were obtained and plasma analyzed for detomidine and yohimbine concentrations by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Data were analyzed using both non-compartmental and compartmental analysis.ResultsThe maximum measured detomidine concentrations were 76.0 and 129.9 ng mL?1 for the D and DY treatments, respectively. Systemic clearance and volume of distribution of detomidine were not significantly different for either treatment. There was a significant increase in the maximum measured yohimbine plasma concentrations from Y (173.9 ng mL?1) to DY (289.8 ng mL?1). Both the Cl and Vd for yohimbine were significantly less (6.8 mL minute?1 kg?1 (Cl) and 1.7 L kg?1 (Vd)) for the DY as compared to the Y treatments (13.9 mL minute?1 kg?1 (Cl) and 2.7 L kg?1 (Vd)). Plasma concentrations were below the limit of quantitation (0.05 and 0.5 ng mL?1) by 18 hours for both detomidine and yohimbine.Conclusion and clinical relevanceThe Cl and Vd of yohimbine were affected by prior administration of detomidine. The elimination half life of yohimbine remained unaffected when administered subsequent to detomidine. However, the increased plasma concentrations in the presence of detomidine has the potential to cause untoward effects and therefore further studies to assess the physiologic effects of this combination of drugs are warranted.  相似文献

Morphine is considered the prototypical opiate analgesic. Despite the common use of morphine in dogs, ideal dosing strategies have not been formulated due to the difficulty in assessing its analgesic effects. The purpose of this study was to: 1) evaluate a noninvasive mechanical threshold device (von Frey device) to measure antinociceptive responses (pharmacodynamics) of opiates in dogs and 2) evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of intravenous (IV) morphine in dogs. Six healthy Beagle dogs were used. The von Frey threshold (vFT) response was evaluated hourly for 8 hours in each dog to examine the effect of repeated testing (controls). PK and PD (vFT) measurements were then made following a 1 mg kg–1 IV bolus of morphine sulfate. A two way blinded crossover consisted of an 8 hour IV constant rate infusion of saline or morphine with hourly PD measurements. The individual CRI was based on individual PK data and adjusted every 2 hours to attain targeted plasma concentrations of morphine of 10, 20, 30, and 40 ng mL–1. Blood samples were taken hourly in all phases, except the controls. No significant (p > 0.05) intraindividual changes in vFT occurred in the controls over 8 hours. The morphine bolus produced increased vFT at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post injection (p < 0.05). The EMAX and EC50 following the IV bolus were 213 ± 104% (increase from baseline) and 13.9 ± 5.8 ng mL–1, respectively. The CRI produced increased vFT at plasma concentrations >30 ng mL–1, when compared to saline controls (p < 0.05). Targeted plasma concentrations were inconsistent at higher infusion rates, suggesting the PK of morphine may change during CRI. The actual mean ± SD CRI plasma concentrations (ng ml–1) were 10.8 ± 3.0, 22.7 ± 7.4, 32.4 ± 13.9, 35.7 ± 16.9. Morphine dosing protocols should be re‐evaluated, as sufficient analgesia may not be obtained from published dosages. Intravenous boluses may be more predictable than CRI.  相似文献
