OBJECTIVE: To determine the pharmacokinetics of itraconazole after IV or oral administration of a solution or capsules to horses and to examine disposition of itraconazole in the interstitial fluid (ISF), aqueous humor, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes after oral administration of the solution. ANIMALS: 6 healthy horses. PROCEDURE: Horses were administered itraconazole solution (5 mg/kg) by nasogastric tube, and samples of plasma, ISF, aqueous humor, and leukocytes were obtained. Horses were then administered itraconazole capsules (5 mg/kg), and plasma was obtained. Three horses were administered itraconazole (1.5 mg/kg, IV), and plasma samples were obtained. All samples were analyzed by use of high-performance liquid chromatography. Plasma protein binding was determined. Data were analyzed by compartmental and noncompartmental pharmacokinetic methods. RESULTS: Itraconazole reached higher mean +/- SD plasma concentrations after administration of the solution (0.41 +/- 0.13 microg/mL) versus the capsules (0.15 +/- 0.12 microg/mL). Bioavailability after administration of capsules relative to solution was 33.83 +/- 33.08%. Similar to other species, itraconazole has a high volume of distribution (6.3 +/- 0.94 L/kg) and a long half-life (11.3 +/- 2.84 hours). Itraconazole was not detected in the ISF, aqueous humor, or leukocytes. Plasma protein binding was 98.81 +/- 0.17%. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Itraconazole administered orally as a solution had higher, more consistent absorption than orally administered capsules and attained plasma concentrations that are inhibitory against fungi that infect horses. Administration of itraconazole solution (5 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h) is suggested for use in clinical trials to test the efficacy of itraconazole in horses.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine pharmacokinetics, safety, and penetration into interstitial fluid (ISF), polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs), and aqueous humor of doxycycline after oral administration of single and multiple doses in horses. ANIMALS: 6 adult horses. PROCEDURE: The effect of feeding on drug absorption was determined. Plasma samples were obtained after administration of single or multiple doses of doxycycline (20 mg/kg) via nasogastric tube. Additionally, ISF, PMNLs, and aqueous humor samples were obtained after the final administration. Horses were monitored for adverse reactions. RESULTS: Feeding decreased drug absorption. After multiple doses, mean +/- SD time to maximum concentration was 1.63 +/- 1.36 hours, maximum concentration was 1.74 +/- 0.3 microg/mL, and elimination half-life was 12.07 +/- 3.17 hours. Plasma protein binding was 81.76 +/- 2.43%. The ISF concentrations correlated with the calculated percentage of non-protein-bound drug. Maximum concentration was 17.27 +/- 8.98 times as great in PMNLs, compared with plasma. Drug was detected in aqueous humor at 7.5% to 10% of plasma concentrations. One horse developed signs of acute colitis and required euthanasia. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that doxycycline administered at a dosage of 20 mg/kg, PO, every 24 hours will result in drug concentrations adequate for killing intracellular bacteria and bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration < or = 0.25 microg/mL. For bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.5 to 1.0 microg/mL, a dosage of 20 mg/kg, PO, every 12 hours may be required; extreme caution should be exercised with the higher dosage until more safety data are available.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of etodolac following oral and intravenous administration to six horses. Additionally, in vitro cyclooxygenase (COX) selectivity assays were performed using equine whole blood. Using a randomized two-way crossover design, horses were administered etodolac (20 mg/kg) orally or intravenously, with a minimum 3-week washout period. Plasma samples were collected after administration for analysis using high pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Following intravenous administration, etodolac had a mean plasma half-life (t(1/2)) of 2.67 h, volume of distribution (Vd) of 0.29 L/kg and clearance (Cl) of 234.87 mL/h kg. Following oral administration, the average maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)) was 32.57 mug/mL with a t(1/2) of 3.02 h. Bioavailability was approximately 77.02%. Results of in vitro COX selectivity assays showed that etodolac was only slightly selective for COX-2 with a COX-1/COX-2 selectivity ratio effective concentration (EC)50 of 4.32 and for EC80 of 4.77. This study showed that etodolac is well absorbed in the horse after oral administration, and may offer a useful alternative for anti-inflammatory treatment of various conditions in the horse.  相似文献

Enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin were administered to six healthy dogs in separate crossover experiments as a single oral dose (5 mg/kg) and as a constant rate IV infusion (1.24 and 0.12 mg/h.kg, respectively) following a loading dose (4.47 and 2 mg/kg, respectively) to achieve a steady-state concentration of approximately 1 microg/mL for 8 h. Interstitial fluid (ISF) was collected with an in vivo ultrafiltration device at the same time period as plasma to measure protein unbound drug concentrations at the tissue site and assess the dynamics of drug distribution. Plasma and ISF were analyzed for enrofloxacin, its active metabolite ciprofloxacin, and for marbofloxacin by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Lipophilicity and protein binding of enrofloxacin were higher than for marbofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Compared to enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin had a longer half-life, higher Cmax, and larger AUC(0-infinity) in plasma and ISF after oral administration. Establishing steady state allowed an assessment of the dynamics of drug concentrations between plasma and ISF. The ISF and plasma-unbound concentrations were similar during the steady-state period despite differences in lipophilicity and pharmacokinetic parameters of the drugs.  相似文献

Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic agent with proven efficacy in increasing insulin sensitivity in humans with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, a syndrome of insulin resistance sharing similarities with equine metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of pioglitazone in adult horses following multiple oral dose administration. Pioglitazone hydrochloride (1 mg/kg) was administered orally for 11 doses at 24-h intervals, and plasma samples were collected. Initially, a pilot study was performed using one horse; and thereafter the drug was administered to six horses. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using noncompartmental modeling. The maximum plasma concentration was 509.1 ± 413.5 ng/mL achieved at 1.88 ± 1.39 h following oral administration of the first dose, and 448.1 ± 303.5 ng/mL achieved at 2.83 ± 1.81 h (mean ± SD) following the eleventh dose. Apparent elimination half-life was 9.94 ± 4.57 and 9.63 ± 5.33 h after the first and eleventh dose, respectively. This study showed that in healthy horses, pioglitazone administered at a daily oral dose of 1 mg/kg results in plasma concentrations and total drug exposure approximating, but slightly below, those considered therapeutic in humans.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to establish the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and its metabolite ciprofloxacin in the plasma and interstitial fluid (ISF) following subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of enrofloxacin. Ultrafiltration probes were placed in the s.c. tissue, gluteal musculature, and pleural space of five calves. Each calf received 12.5 mg/kg of enrofloxacin. Plasma and ISF samples were collected for 48 h after drug administration and analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography. Plasma protein binding of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was measured using a microcentrifugation system. Tissue probes were well tolerated and reliably produced fluid from each site. The mean +/- SD plasma half-life was 6.8 +/- 1.2 and 7.3 +/- 1 h for enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, respectively. The combined (ciprofloxacin + enrofloxacin) peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was 1.52 microg/mL, and the combined area under the curve (AUC) was 25.33 microg/mL. The plasma free drug concentrations were 54% and 81% for enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, respectively, and free drug concentration in the tissue fluid was higher than in plasma. We concluded that Cmax/MIC and AUC/MIC ratios for free drug concentrations in plasma and ISF would meet suggested ratios for a targeted MIC of 0.06 microg/mL.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine pharmacokinetic parameters for meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, in horses. ANIMALS: 8 healthy horses. PROCEDURE: In the first phase of the study, horses were administered meloxicam once in accordance with a 2 x 2 crossover design (IV or PO drug administration; horses fed or not fed). The second phase used a multiple-dose regimen (daily oral administration of meloxicam for 14 days), with meloxicam administered at the recommended dosage (0.6 mg/kg). Plasma and urine concentrations of meloxicam were measured by use of validated methods with a limit of quantification of 10 ng/mL for plasma and 20 ng/mL for urine. RESULTS: Plasma clearance was low (mean +/- SD; 34 +/- 0.5 mL/kg/h), steady-state volume of distribution was limited (0.12 +/- 0.018 L/kg), and terminal half-life was 8.54 +/- 3.02 hours. After oral administration, bioavailability was nearly total regardless of feeding status (98 +/- 12% in fed horses and 85 +/- 19% in nonfed horses). During once-daily administration for 14 days, we did not detect drug accumulation in the plasma. Meloxicam was eliminated via the urine with a urine-to-plasma concentration that ranged from 13 to 18. Concentrations were detected for a relatively short period (3 days) after administration of the final daily dose. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results of this study support once-daily administration of meloxicam regardless of the feeding status of a horse and suggest a period of at least 3 days before urine concentrations of meloxicam reach concentrations that could be used in drug control programs.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine following intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m.) administration in horses. Six horses received i.v. or i.m. buprenorphine (0.005 mg/kg) in a randomized, crossover design. Plasma samples were collected at predetermined times and horses were monitored for adverse reactions. Buprenorphine concentrations were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Following i.v. administration, clearance was 7.97±5.16 mL/kg/min, and half-life (T(1/2)) was 3.58 h (harmonic mean). Volume of distribution was 3.01±1.69 L/kg. Following i.m. administration, maximum concentration (C(max)) was 1.74±0.09 ng/mL, which was significantly lower than the highest measured concentration (4.34±1.22 ng/mL) after i.v. administration (P<0.001). Time to C(max) was 0.9±0.69 h and T(1/2) was 4.24 h. Bioavailability was variable (51-88%). Several horses showed signs of excitement. Gut sounds were decreased 10±2.19 and 8.67±1.63 h in the i.v. and i.m. group, respectively. Buprenorphine has a moderate T(1/2) in the horse and was detected at concentrations expected to be therapeutic in other species after i.v. and i.m. administration of 0.005 mg/kg. Signs of excitement and gastrointestinal stasis may be noted.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetic properties of cefpodoxime, and its prodrug, cefpodoxime proxetil, were evaluated in two separate studies, one following intravenous (i.v.) administration of cefpodoxime sodium and the second after oral (p.o.) administration of cefpodoxime proxetil to healthy dogs. After cefpodoxime administration, serial blood samples were collected and plasma concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A single i.v. administration of cefpodoxime sodium at a dose of 10 mg cefpodoxime/kg body weight resulted in a cefpodoxime average maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 91 (+/-17.7) microg/mL, measured at 0.5 h after drug administration, an average half-life (t1/2) of 4.67 (+/-0.680) h, an average AUC(0-infinity) of 454 (+/-83.1) h.microg/mL, an average V(d(ss)) of 151 (+/-27) mL/kg, an average Cl(B) of 22.7 (+/-4.2) mL/h/kg and an average MRT(0-infinity) of 5.97 (+/-0.573) h. When dose normalized to 10 mg cefpodoxime/kg body weight, cefpodoxime proxetil administered orally resulted in Cmax of 17.8 +/- 11.4 microg/mL for the tablet formulation and 20.1 +/- 6.20 microg/mL for the suspension formulation and an average AUC(0-LOQ) of 156 (+/-76.1) h.microg/mL for the tablet formulation and 162 (+/-48.6) h.microg/mL for the suspension formulation. Relative bioavailability of the two oral formulations was 1.04 (suspension compared with tablet), whereas the absolute bioavailability of both oral formulations was estimated to be approximately 35-36% in the cross-study comparison with the i.v. pharmacokinetics. Combined with previous studies, these results suggest that a single daily oral dose of 5-10 mg cefpodoxime/kg body weight as cefpodoxime proxetil maintains plasma concentrations effective for treatment of specified skin infections in dogs.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of clenbuterol (CLB) following a single intravenous (i.v.) and oral (p.o.) administration twice daily for 7 days were investigated in thoroughbred horses. The plasma concentrations of CLB following i.v. administration declined mono-exponentially with a median elimination half-life ( t 1/2k) of 9.2 h, area under the time–concentration curve ( AUC ) of 12.4 ng·h/mL, and a zero-time concentration of 1.04 ng/mL. Volume of distribution ( V d) was 1616.0 mL/kg and plasma clearance ( Cl ) was 120.0 mL/h/kg. The terminal portion of the plasma curve following multiple p.o. administrations also declined mono-exponentially with a median elimination half-life ( t 1/2k) of 12.9 h, a Cl of 94.0 mL/h/kg and V d of 1574.7 mL/kg. Following the last p.o. administration the baseline plasma concentration was 537.5 ± 268.4 and increased to 1302.6 ± 925.0 pg/mL at 0.25 h, and declined to 18.9 ± 7.4 pg/mL at 96 h. CLB was still quantifiable in urine at 288 h following the last administration (210.0 ± 110 pg/mL). The difference between plasma and urinary concentrations of CLB was 100-fold irrespective of the route of administration. This 100-fold urine/plasma difference should be considered when the presence of CLB in urine is reported by equine forensic laboratories.  相似文献

Doxycycline concentrations, following two types of oral administration to horses, in pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (PELF) were examined and compared to plasma concentrations. The oral bioavailability was estimated from plasma concentrations achieved after an intravenous study in two horses. Doxycycline (10 mg/kg) was administered either intragastric or as topdressing to nonfasted horses. Blood samples were collected for drug analysis, before and 11 times after administration during 24 h. PELF samples were collected by a tampon device four times after drug administration and analysed for doxycycline concentrations. Another two horses received doxycycline intravenously at a dose of 3 mg/kg and plasma was taken 14 times during a 24- h period. The oral bioavailability of doxycycline was calculated to 17% after intragastric administration and 6% after topdressing administration in nonfasted horses. The degree of penetration of doxycycline into PELF, as described by AUC(PELF) /AUC(plasma) ratios, was 0.87 after intragastric administration. The results indicate that clinically relevant doxycycline concentrations are possible to maintain in PELF after intragastric administration. Furthermore, if bioavailability could be enhanced for per os administration, doxycycline might be a valuable drug for the treatment of lower airway infections in horses.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of cephalexin, a first generation cephalosporin, were investigated in dogs using two formulations marketed for humans, but also often employed by practitioners for pet therapy. Cephalexin was administered to five dogs intravenously and intramuscularly as a sodium salt and by the oral route as a monohydrate. The dosage was always 20 mg/kg of active ingredient. A microbiological assay with Sarcina lutea as the test organism was adopted to measure cephalexin concentrations in serum. The mean residence time (MRT) median values after intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.) and oral administration (p.o.) were 86 min, 200 min, and 279 min, respectively. After i.m. and oral dosing the peak serum concentrations (24.2 +/- 1.8 micrograms/mL and 20.3 +/- 1.7 micrograms/mL, respectively) were attained at 90 min in all dogs and bioavailabilities were 63 +/- 10% and 57 +/- 5%, respectively. The time course of the cephalexin serum concentrations after oral administration was best described by a model incorporating saturable absorption kinetics of the Michaelis-Menten type: thus in the gastrointestinal tract of dogs a carrier mediated transport for cephalexin similar to that reported in humans, may exist. The predicted average serum concentrations of cephalexin after repeated i.m. and oral administration indicated that, in order to maintain the therapeutic concentrations, the 20 mg/kg b.w. dosage should be administered every 6-8 h.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist ketanserin in healthy adult horses, and to develop a computational model that could be used to optimize dosing. Plasma concentrations of ketanserin were determined using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry after single and multiple intravenous administration in the horse. A two-compartment linear pharmacokinetic model described the plasma concentration-time profile of ketanserin after single and multiple doses in healthy horses; the terminal half-life was 11.5 h; steady-state volume of distribution was 10.5 L/kg; AUC was 115 ng · h/mL; and clearance was 0.87 L/h/kg. Model simulations followed by the examination in three healthy horses suggest 0.3 mg/kg q.8 h exhibited linear PK and produced consistent systemic blood concentrations of ketanserin above 3 ng/mL.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of ampicillin and amoxicillin following intravenous administration at a dose rate of 15 and 10 mg/kg respectively were studied in four healthy adult horses. Pharmacokinetics of pivampicillin and amoxicillin were studied after oral administration to four healthy adult horses. Pivampicillin, a prodrug of ampicillin, was administered orally to starved and fed horses at a dose rate of 19.9 mg/kg, which is equivalent on a molecular basis to 15 mg/kg ampicillin. Amoxicillin was administered orally to starved horses only, at a dose rate of 20 mg/kg. Ampicillin and amoxicillin concentrations in plasma, synovial fluid and urine were determined. Mean biological half-life of intravenously administered ampicillin and amoxicillin was 1.72 and 1.43 h respectively, whilst the distribution volume (Vss) appeared to be 0.180 and 0.192 1/kg. Orally administered pivampicillin and amoxicillin were rapidly absorbed. A maximum concentration in plasma of 3.80 micrograms/ml was reached 2 h after administration of pivampicillin to starved horses; in fed horses a maximum concentration of 5.12 micrograms/ml was reached 1 h after administration. After oral administration of amoxicillin a maximum concentration of 2.03 micrograms/ml was reached after 1 h. The (absolute) bioavailability of pivampicillin administered orally was 30.9% in starved horses and 35.9% in fed horses. The bioavailability of amoxicillin administered orally was 5.3% in starved horses.  相似文献

Experiments to determine the residual plasma concentrations of phenylbutazone and its metabolites found in horses racing on a 'no-race day medication' or 24-h rule were carried out. One dosing schedule (oral-i.v.) consisted of 8.8 mg/kg (4 g/1000 lbs) orally for 3 days, followed by 4.4 mg/kg (2 g/1000 lbs) intravenously on day 4. A second schedule consisted of 4.4 mg/kg i.v. for 4 days. The experiments were carried out in Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses at pasture, half-bred horses at pasture, and in Thoroughbred horses in training. After administering the i.v. schedule for 4 days to Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses at pasture, the mean plasma concentrations of phenylbutazone increased from 0.77 microgram/ml on day 2 to 2.5 micrograms/ml on day 5. The shape of the frequency distribution of these populations was log-normal. These data are consistent with one horse in 1,000 yielding a plasma level of 8.07 micrograms/ml on day 5. After administration of the oral-i.v. schedule to Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses at pasture, the mean plasma concentrations of phenylbutazone were 3.4 micrograms/ml on day 2 and 3.5 micrograms/ml on day 5. The range on day 5 was from 1.4 to 8.98 micrograms/ml and the frequency distribution was log-normal. These data are consistent with one horse in 1000 having a plasma level of 15.8 micrograms/ml on day 5. In a final experiment, the oral dosing schedule was administered to 62 Thoroughbred horses in training. Plasma concentrations on day 5 in these horses averaged 5.3 micrograms/ml. The range was from 1.3 to 13.6 micrograms/ml and the frequency distribution was log-normal. Statistical projection of these values suggests that following this oral dosing schedule in racing horses about one horse in 1000 will yield a plasma level of 23.5 micrograms/ml of phenylbutazone 24 h after the last dose.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics and physicochemical characteristics of orbifloxacin in the horse. Six healthy adult horses were administered oral and intravenous orbifloxacin at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg. Plasma samples were collected and analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Plasma protein binding and lipophilicity were determined in vitro . Following i.v. administration, orbifloxacin had a terminal half-life ( t 1/2) of 5.08 h and a volume of distribution (Vd(ss)) of 1.58 L/kg. Following oral administration, the average maximum plasma concentration ( C max) was 1.25  μ g/mL with a t 1/2 of 3.42 h. Systemic bioavailability was 68.35%. Plasma protein binding was 20.64%. The octanol:water partition coefficient (pH 7.4) was 0.2 ± 0.11. No adverse reactions were noted during this study. Dosage regimens were determined from the pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic parameters established for fluoroquinolone antibiotics. For susceptible bacteria, an oral dose of approximately 5 mg/kg once daily will produce plasma concentrations within the suggested range. This dose is suggested for further studies on the clinical efficacy of orbifloxacin for treatment of susceptible bacterial infections in the horse.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether previous administration of metoclopramide affects cephalexin pharmacokinetics after its oral administration in dogs as well as whether these changes impair its predicted clinical efficacy. Six healthy beagle dogs were included in this study. Oral 25 mg/kg cephalexin monohydrate and intravenous 0.5 mg/kg metoclopramide HCl single doses were administered. Each dog received cephalexin or cephalexin following metoclopramide, with a 2-week washout period. Plasma concentrations of cephalexin were determined by microbiological assay. Cephalexin peak plasma concentration and area under the curve from 0 to infinity significantly increased from 18.77+/-2.8 microg/mL and 82.65+/-10.4 microg.h/mL to 21.88+/-0.8 microg/mL and 113.10+/-20.9 microg.h/mL, respectively, after pretreatment with metoclopramide. No differences between treatments were found for other pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices calculated for highly susceptible staphylococci were similar for both experiences. Metoclopramide pretreatment may have increased cephalexin absorption by affecting its delivery to the intestine, and/or enhancing intestinal transporter PEPT1 function. Neither difference in the efficacy of cephalexin nor an increase in toxicity is expected as a result of this modification. Consequently, no dose adjustment is required in cephalexin-treated patients pretreated with metoclopramide.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine pharmacokinetics of azathioprine (AZA) and clinical, hematologic, and serologic effects of i.v. and oral administration of AZA in horses. ANIMALS: 6 horses. PROCEDURE: In study phase 1, a single dose of AZA was administered i.v. (1.5 mg/kg) or orally (3.0 mg/kg) to 6 horses, with at least 1 week between treatments. Blood samples were collected for AZA and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) analysis 1 hour before and at predetermined time points up to 4 hours after AZA administration. In study phase 2, AZA was administered orally (3 mg/kg) every 24 hours for 30 days and then every 48 hours for 30 days. Throughout study phase 2, blood samples were collected for CBC determination and serum biochemical analysis. RESULTS: Plasma concentrations of AZA and its metabolite, 6-MP decreased rapidly from plasma following i.v. administration of AZA, consistent with the short mean elimination half-life of 1.8 minutes. Oral bioavailability of AZA was low, ranging from 1% to 7%. No horses had abnormalities on CBC determination or serum biochemical analysis, other than 1 horse that was lymphopenic on day 5 and 26 of daily treatment. This horse developed facial alopecia from which 1 colony of a Trichophyton sp was cultured; alopecia resolved within 1 month after the study ended. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Overall, no adverse effects were observed with long-term oral administration of AZA to horses, although 1 horse did have possible evidence of immunosuppression with chronic treatment. Further investigation of the clinical efficacy of AZA in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in horses is warranted.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of enrofloxacin in pigs and compare to the tissue interstitial fluid (ISF). Six healthy, young pigs were administered 7.5 mg/kg enrofloxacin subcutaneously (SC). Blood and ISF samples were collected from preplaced intravenous catheters and ultrafiltration sampling probes placed in three different tissue sites (intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intrapleural). Enrofloxacin concentrations were measured using high-pressure liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, PK parameters were analyzed using a one-compartment model, and protein binding was determined using a microcentrifugation system. Concentrations of the active metabolite ciprofloxacin were negligible. The mean ± SD enrofloxacin plasma half-life, volume of distribution, clearance, and peak concentration were 26.6 ± 6.2 h (harmonic mean), 6.4 ± 1.2 L/kg, 0.18 ± 0.08 L/kg/h, and 1.1 ± 0.3 μg/mL, respectively. The half-life of enrofloxacin from the tissues was 23.6 h, and the maximum concentration was 1.26 μg/mL. Tissue penetration, as measured by a ratio of area-under-the-curve (AUC), was 139% (± 69%). Plasma protein binding was 31.1% and 37.13% for high and low concentrations, respectively. This study demonstrated that the concentration of biologically active enrofloxacin in tissues exceeds the concentration predicted by the unbound fraction of enrofloxacin in pig plasma. At a dose of 7.5 mg/kg SC, the high tissue concentrations and long half-life produce an AUC/MIC ratio sufficient for the pathogens that cause respiratory infections in pigs.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics and the effects on inhibition of histamine-induced cutaneous wheal formation of the histamine H1-antagonist fexofenadine were studied in horse. The effect of ivermectin pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine was also examined. After intravenous infusion of fexofenadine at 0.7 mg/kg bw the mean terminal half-life was 2.4 h (range: 2.0-2.7 h), the apparent volume of distribution 0.8 L/kg (0.5-0.9 L/kg), and the total body clearance 0.8 L/h/kg (0.6-1.2 L/h/kg). After oral administration of fexofenadine at 10 mg/kg bw bioavailability was 2.6% (1.9-2.9%). Ivermectin pretreatment (0.2 mg/kg, p.o.) 12 h before oral fexofenadine decreased the bioavailability to 1.5% (1.4-2.1%). In addition, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve decreased 27%. Ivermectin did not affect the pharmacokinetics of i.v. administered fexofenadine. Ivermectin may influence fexofenadine absorption by interfering in intestinal efflux and influx pumps, such as P-glycoprotein and the organic anion transport polypeptide family. Oral and i.v. fexofenadine significantly decreased histamine-induced wheal formation, with a maximal duration of 6 h. A pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic link model indicated that fexofenadine in horse has antihistaminic effects at low plasma concentrations (EC50 = 16 ng/mL). However, oral treatments of horses with fexofenadine may not be suitable due to the low bioavailability.  相似文献
