Phenylbutazone given during the perisurgical period has been reported to increase the intensity and duration of thiamylal anaesthesia in horses. A possible mechanism of competitive plasma protein binding has been suggested. The purpose of the present study was to experimentally reproduce the phenomenon of increased intensity and/or duration of thiamylal anaesthesia and to determine if there is competitive displacement of plasma protein bound thiamylal by phenylbutazone. Six ponies each received one of three treatments, 11 mg/kg intravenous (i.v.) thiamylal; 8.8 mg/kg i.v. phenylbutazone; and 11 mg/kg i.v. thiamylal with 8.8 mg/kg i.v. phenylbutazone given 9 min later. Thirteen blood samples were collected from 0 time through 600 min following drug administration and plasma drug concentrations quantified by high performance liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetics of thiamylal and phenylbutazone were best described by three- and two-compartment models, respectively. There were no significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters for thiamylal in the presence of phenylbutazone. However, there were differences in phenylbutazone pharmacokinetics when preceded by thiamylal administration. Unbound phenylbutazone concentrations were increased at 171, 231 and 351 min when given with thiamylal, accompanied by decreases in per cent bound phenylbutazone (P < 0.05). There were also significant (P < 0.05) changes in per cent plasma protein binding of thiamylal and phenylbutazone between 120 and 360 min, when in combination. No changes in intensity or duration of anaesthesia were observed.  相似文献

The direct effects of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on equine polymorphonuclear (PMN) and mononuclear (MN) leucocyte movement were investigated using two in vitro assay systems. The Boyden chamber microfilter technique measures both chemokinetic and chemotactic locomotion, and the agarose microdroplet assay measures solely chemokinesis. Zymosan-activated plasma (ZAP) and the synthetic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) were used as standard chemoattractants for PMN and MN leucocytes, respectively. The actions of six concentrations of each NSAID, indomethacin (50 microM-10 mM), phenylbutazone (10 microM-1 mM), oxyphenbutazone (2.5 microM-500 microM) and flunixin (0.1 microM-50 microM), in suppressing cell movement induced by ZAP and FMLP were investigated. All four drugs exerted inhibitory effects on induced movement of both cell types in the Boyden chamber assay, usually in a concentration-dependent manner, although oxyphenbutazone action on PMN cells occurred only at the highest concentration tested. Significant inhibition of PMN and MN cell locomotion was produced by indomethacin, flunixin and oxyphenbutazone, and inhibition of PMN movement by phenylbutazone occurred in the agarose microdroplet assay. Flunixin was the most potent of the four drugs investigated in both assay systems. The findings may be of importance to the use of phenylbutazone and flunixin as NSAIDs in equine medicine, since the concentrations used were similar to concentrations of both drugs and the phenylbutazone metabolite oxyphenbutazone previously reported to occur in equine plasma and inflammatory exudate.  相似文献

The in vivo metabolism and pharmacokinetics of flunixin meglumine and phenylbutazone have been extensively characterized; however, there are no published reports describing the in vitro metabolism, specifically the enzymes responsible for the biotransformation of these compounds in horses. Due to their widespread use and, therefore, increased potential for drug–drug interactions and widespread differences in drug disposition, this study aims to build on the limited current knowledge regarding P450‐mediated metabolism in horses. Drugs were incubated with equine liver microsomes and a panel of recombinant equine P450s. Incubation of phenylbutazone in microsomes generated oxyphenbutazone and gamma‐hydroxy phenylbutazone. Microsomal incubations with flunixin meglumine generated 5‐OH flunixin, with a kinetic profile suggestive of substrate inhibition. In recombinant P450 assays, equine CYP3A97 was the only enzyme capable of generating oxyphenbutazone while several members of the equine CYP3A family and CYP1A1 were capable of catalyzing the biotransformation of flunixin to 5‐OH flunixin. Flunixin meglumine metabolism by CYP1A1 and CYP3A93 showed a profile characteristic of biphasic kinetics, suggesting two substrate binding sites. The current study identifies specific enzymes responsible for the metabolism of two NSAIDs in horses and provides the basis for future study of drug–drug interactions and identification of reasons for varying pharmacokinetics between horses.  相似文献

Lambs infected with Ostertagia circumcincta larvae and uninfected controls were either doses with 5 g copper oxide wire particles (COWP) or remained undosed. The change in abomasal pH was monitored from duodenal digesta and that in liver copper concentration from initial liver biopsy samples and liver obtained at necropsy after 22 days. Infection increased the pH of digesta from 2.5 to 4.5. The change in liver copper content in sheep not treated with COWP was +6.1 mg (12.6 per cent) and -6.8 mg (13.8 per cent) in control and infected sheep, respectively. Significantly greater amounts of COWP were recovered from the abomasa of infected than from control animals (3.6 +/- 0.23 and 1.6 +/- 0.55 g, respectively) and hepatic uptake of copper from COWP was 0.7 and 1.8 per cent of the dose, respectively. There were significant relationships between the pH of duodenal contents and COWP retained, soluble copper concentration in duodenal digesta and hepatic uptake of copper. It was concluded that, through causing an increase in pH in abomasal and duodenal digesta, gastrointestinal nematodes interfere with copper metabolism.  相似文献

The effects of a trickle challenge with the equivalent of 10,000 infective Ostertagia ostertagi larvae per day on appetite, digestibility, rate of passage of digesta and liveweight gain were investigated in 12 calves assigned to infected, pair-fed control and ad libitum-fed control groups. Digestibility of cellulose, nitrogen, organic matter and dry matter was determined using insoluble acid detergent fibre as a marker on two occasions during the study: (i) Between days 31 and 38, when abomasal dysfunction was greatest; and (ii) between days 52 and 58, beginning approximately one week after anthelmintic treatment (day 46). Rate of passage of digesta was measured using chromium mordanted hay, fed to each calf after each digestibility study period. Voluntary feed intake of the infected group was significantly reduced from day 37 with the greatest depression (77 per cent) occurring just before anthelmintic treatment. The drop in appetite was responsible for nearly 73 per cent of the difference in liveweight gain between the infected and ad libitum fed control groups. The apparent digestibility coefficient of nitrogen was significantly depressed (22 per cent) in the infected group though was restored to control levels by anthelmintic treatment. The rate of passage of digesta was significantly reduced in both pair-fed control (50 per cent) and infected (74 per cent) groups. Anthelmintic treatment increased the latter though only to pair-fed control group levels. It is suggested that the marked hypergastrinaemia seen in the infected calves may have been in part responsible for the decreased rate of passage of digesta and in turn for the drop in appetite.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential modulation of equine neutrophil oxidative burst by a series of classical NSAIDs which was subsequently monitored by the luminol or lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL) technique. A significant dose-dependent inhibition of the luminol CL was observed with the majority of investigated drugs. This inhibition was very significant for phenylbutazone and Indomethacin; while for aspirin, a higher concentration is required. The action of Ketoprofen was significant during the first 5 min and only when the concentration was above 1 mM. Indomethacin and acetylsalicylic acid result in an inhibition dose-dependent of luminol CL. On the other hand, the phenylbutazone showed an inhibiting effect when used either luminol or lucigenin though luminol is slightly better. When the ketoprofen is considered, an inhibiting effect of luminal CL was observed but less significant than the other NSAIDs investigated. The flunixin meglumine enhances strongly the CL.  相似文献

The relationship between the optimum concentration of mitogen which induces lymphocyte blastogenic response and the receptor occupancy by mitogen was investigated. The receptor occupancies which induced maximal blastogenic activity in equine, bovine and canine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were 31.1 per cent, 26.5 per cent and 38.4 per cent with phytohaemagglutinin-P, and 48.2 per cent, 17.9 per cent and 24.5 per cent with concanavalin A, respectively. The data clearly show that each animal species had its own optimum concentration of mitogen for stimulation of PBL. Optimum concentration for blastogenesis and number of binding sites of each mitogen had a good correlation with each other for all three species.  相似文献

The production of propionate has been measured in the large colon of two ponies fitted with cannulas and fed on a standard diet of hay or hay and wheat bran. A continuous infusion of 14C-labelled sodium propionate was made into a cannula in the right ventral colon and samples of ingesta were obtained from another cannula near the end of the right dorsal colon. A simultaneous intravenous infusion of [2-3H]-labelled glucose was made to measure total glucose entry. Colonic propionate production on the hay diet was 146 (range 110-176) mg/h per kg body weight and, on the hay and bran, 195 (range 130-273) mg/h per kg body weight. Mean total glucose production for the two diets was 120 (range 98-143) and 92 (range 79-116) mg/h per kg body weight, respectively. The results obtained indicate that 50% of the glucose was synthesized from propionate produced in the colon in ponies on the hay diet and 61% in ponies on the hay and bran diet.  相似文献

A clinical dose rate (4.4 mg/kg bodyweight) of phenylbutazone was administered intravenously and orally to six Welsh mountain ponies to provide data on the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of the drug. In three, three-year-old ponies, clearance of the drug from plasma after intravenous administration was almost twice as rapid as in three ponies aged eight to 10 years. After oral administration, plasma phenylbutazone levels were greater in the older ponies, the area under the plasma concentration time curve being almost twice as high. This did not result from more efficient absorption but from slower plasma clearance. The fractional absorption of phenylbutazone was similar in young and older ponies, 0.78 and 0.75, respectively. The 24 hour urinary excretion of phenylbutazone and its hydroxylated metabolites, oxyphenbutazone and gamma-hydroxyphenylbutazone, accounted for approximately 25 per cent of the administered intravenous dose in both young and older ponies. The possible fate(s) of the remaining 75 per cent were considered.  相似文献

Synovitis in horses is frequently treated by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2). Constitutively expressed COX-1 is involved in physiologic functions such as maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity, whereas COX-2 is up-regulated at sites of inflammation. Thus, COX-2 inhibitors reduce inflammation with reduced gastrointestinal side effects as compared to non-selective COX inhibitors. The objective of the present study was to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of the preferential COX-2 inhibitor etodolac with the non-selective COX inhibitor phenylbutazone in horses with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced synovitis. Three groups of horses (n=6) received no treatment, phenylbutazone (4.4 mg/kg, IV, q12h), or etodolac (23 mg/kg, IV, q12h), respectively, 2-h following injection of LPS into one middle carpal joint. Synovial fluid was analyzed for white blood cell (WBC) count, and TXB2 and PGE2 levels. Phenylbutazone and etodolac significantly reduced WBC count 6 and 24-h following injection of LPS compared to untreated horses. In addition, both drugs significantly reduced PGE2 levels (P<0.05) 6-h following LPS injection, whereas the probable COX-1 prostanoid TXB2 was significantly reduced by phenylbutazone (P<0.05), but not etodolac. Etodolac may serve as a more selective anti-inflammatory agent than phenylbutazone for treatment of equine synovitis.  相似文献

The disposition of phenylbutazone (4.4 mg/kg), administered intravenously to six Welsh Mountain ponies, was described by a two-compartment open model. Pharmacokinetic parameters were not significantly different after morning dosing in comparison with afternoon dosing. When phenylbutazone (4.4 mg/kg) was administered orally to the same ponies, marked variations in time to peak concentrations were produced with different feeding schedules. When access to hay was permitted before and after dosing, the mean time to peak concentration was 13.2 +/- 1.2 h and double peaks in the plasma concentration-time curve were common. Double peaks were also encountered when phenylbutazone was given to ponies deprived of food prior to, and allowed access to hay after, dosing. In this circumstance, mean times to peak concentration were much shorter (3.8 +/- 1.3 h after morning dosing and 5.3 +/- 1.5 h followed afternoon dosing). Absorption was more regular and double peaks were less apparent when food was withheld both before and after dosing. In order to explain these findings, it is tentatively postulated that, whereas some of the administered dose of phenylbutazone may be absorbed quickly, some may become adsorbed on to the feed and subsequently released by fermentative digestion in the large intestine and/or caecum. The consequences of delayed absorption in fed animals for toxicity and clinical efficacy, and for the use of phenylbutazone in equestrian sports, are considered. Delayed absorption in ponies given access to hay was not accompanied by a significant reduction in total absorption. Bioavailability was estimated to be approximately 69% in fed and 78% in unfed ponies. Estimates of bioavailability gave similar values for morning (72%) and afternoon (71%) dosing.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on recombinant equine interleukin (IL)-1beta-stimulated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP 1, MMP 3, MMP 13) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP 1) in vitro. SAMPLE POPULATION: Cultured equine chondrocytes. PROCEDURE: Stationary monolayers of first-passage chondrocytes were exposed to graduated concentrations of PGE2 with or without a subsaturating dose (50 pg/ml) of recombinant equine IL-1beta (reIL-1beta) to induce expression of MMP 1, MMP 3, MMP 13, and TIMP 1, followed by RNA isolation and northern blotting. In subsequent experiments, gene expression was similarly quantified from mRNA isolated from cultures pretreated with phenylbutazone to quench endogenous PGE2 synthesis, followed by exposure to reIL-1beta and exogenous PGE2 (5 mg/ml) with appropriate controls. RESULTS: Exogenous PGE2 (10 mg/ml) significantly reduced reIL-1beta-induced expression of MMP 1, MMP 3, MMP 13, and TIMP 1. Abrogation of cytokine induction with this dose of PGE2 was comparable to that for dexamethasone (10(-5) M) control. Similarly, pretreatment with phenylbutazone, followed by exposure to relL-1beta and PGE2 (5 mg/ml), was associated with a reduced expression of the genes of interest, an effect that was significant for MMP 1, MMP 13, and TIMP 1. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The MMP and TIMP 1 are important mediators in the pathophysiologic events in osteoarthritis. The potential for physiologically relevant regulation of expression of these genes by PGE2 is a consideration in the use of drugs that inhibit prostanoid synthesis in the treatment of equine arthropathies.  相似文献

Pharmacokinetics of sodium amoxicillin in horses   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The pharmacokinetics of sodium amoxicillin were investigated after intravenous and intramuscular administration of a single dose of 15 mg kg-1 body-weight to five horses. A rapid distribution phase was noted after intravenous administration (t1/2 alpha about 20 minutes). The t1/2 beta values obtained after the intravenous and the intramuscular administration were significantly different (P less than 0.05). The bioavailability obtained was about 67 per cent. Plasma protein binding, evaluated in vitro, showed that the percentage of bound fraction was 37 to 38 per cent. It was concluded that sodium amoxicillin administration at 15 mg kg-1 four times a day should be effective in the treatment of several systemic infections in the horse.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of cefuroxime sodium, 20 and 40 mg kg(-1), were studied after i.v. and intramuscular injections in goats. Following single i.v. injections the serum concentration time curves of cefuroxime sodium were best fitted to a two-compartment open model. The drug was rapidly distributed with half-lives of distribution (t(1/2 alpha)) of 0.250 hours and 0.266 hours, and rapidly eliminated with half-lives of elimination (t(1/2 beta)) of 1.482 hours and 1.416 hours, respectively, following single i.v. injections of 20 and 40 mg kg(-1)body weight. After single intramuscular injections of cefuroxime sodium at the same doses, the mean absorption time (MAT) values were 1.379 and 1.716 hours and the peak serum concentration, C(max), was 12.965 and 38.50 microg ml(-1), attained after 0.515 and 0.608 hours (t(max)), respectively. The elimination half-lives (t(1/2el)) were 2.088 and 2.114 hours and the mean residence times (MRT) were 3.198 and 3.237 hours for 20 and 40 mg kg(-1)body weight, respectively. After both i.v. and intramuscular injections of cefuroxime sodium, the concentrations of cefuroxime in urine were much higher than that in serum. Urinary drug concentrations decreased gradually to reach their lowest levels at 24 and 48 hours post-injection, respectively. The systemic bioavailability of cefuroxime sodium in goats after intramuscular injections of 20 and 40 mg kg(-1)body weight was 88.4 per cent and 103.5 per cent, respectively. In vitro protein binding of cefuroxime sodium in goat's serum was low, ranging from 13.3 per cent to 21.6 per cent with an average of 17.0 per cent.  相似文献

Weak organic acids possessing anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties--commonly known as aspirin-like drugs--have been used in equine medicine for almost 100 years. These non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be classified chemically into two groups; the enolic acids such as phenylbutazone and carboxylic acids like flunixin, meclofenamate and naproxen. All NSAIDs have similar and possibly identical modes of action accounting for both their therapeutic and their toxic effects. They block some part of the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme pathway and thereby suppress the synthesis of several chemical mediators of inflammation, collectively known as eicosanoids. The available evidence indicates that some of the newer NSAIDs have a reasonable safety margin but further studies are required. The toxicity of phenylbutazone in the horse has been investigated very thoroughly in recent years and it has been shown to cause renotoxicity and, most significantly, ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract when relatively high doses are administered. Several factors may predispose towards phenylbutazone toxicity in the horse, including breed and age, but high dosage is considered to be particularly important. The absorption into, and fate within, the body of NSAIDs are considered and particular attention is drawn to the ways in which these pharmacokinetic properties relate to the drugs' toxicity and clinical efficacy. In reviewing current knowledge of the clinical pharmacology of this important group of drugs, it is hoped to provide the clinician with a rational, scientific basis for their safe and effective use in equine practice.  相似文献

We studied in vivo fiber digestibility and fermentation parameters such as volatile fatty acid concentration and in vitro degradation in each segment of hindgut of horses fed timothy hay or silage made from the same sward. Six Thoroughbred horses were fed timothy hay or silage in equal amounts (1.6% of bodyweight per day, bodyweight mean 572 kg) every 3 h per day, then slaughtered. There were no differences between hay and silage in the concentration of the total volatile fatty acids, the apparent digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and fiber, and in vitro neutral detergent fiber (NDF) disappearance rate in each segment. The total volatile fatty acid concentration and the apparent digestibility of dry and organic matter and fiber differed ( P  < 0.01) depending on the digestive segments. Both for hay and silage, the concentration of total volatile fatty acids in the digesta liquid phase largely increased ( P  < 0.01) from the cecum to the right ventral colon, and kept a constant value from the right ventral colon to the right dorsal colon, and then decreased from the right dorsal colon to the small colon. For dry and organic matter and fiber components, the apparent digestibility changed in the same manner from former to hinder segments of the hindgut. Regardless of diet, dry and organic matter and fiber components showed lower values in the cecum and the right ventral colon and increased ( P  < 0.01) largely from the right ventral colon to the left dorsal colon, then kept constant values in segments to the rear of left dorsal colon. There were no differences in in vitro NDF disappearance among cecum, ventral colon and dorsal colon.  相似文献

The presence of anovulatory haemorrhagic follicles during the oestrous cycle of mares causes financial impacts, slowing conception and increasing the number of services per pregnancy. Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as meloxicam and phenylbutazone are used in the treatment of several disorders in mares, and these drugs can impair the formation of prostaglandins (PGs) and consequently interfere with reproductive activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment with NSAIDs on the development of pre‐ovulatory follicles in mares. In total, 11 mares were studied over three consecutive oestrous cycles, and gynaecological and ultrasound examinations were performed every 12 h. When 32‐mm‐diameter follicles were detected, 1 mg of deslorelin was administered to induce ovulation. The first cycle was used as a control, and the mares received only a dose of deslorelin. In the subsequent cycles, in addition to receiving the same dose of deslorelin, each mare was treated with NSAIDs. In the second cycle, 4.4 mg/kg of phenylbutazone was administered, and in the third cycle, 0.6 mg/kg of meloxicam was administered once a day until ovulation or the beginning of follicular haemorrhage. All of the mares ovulated between 36 and 48 h after the induction in the control cycle. In the meloxicam cycle, 10 mares (92%) did not ovulate, while in the phenylbutazone cycle, nine mares (83%) did not ovulate. In both treatments, intrafollicular hyperechoic spots indicative of haemorrhagic follicles were observed on ultrasound. Thus, our results suggested that treatment with meloxicam and phenylbutazone at therapeutic doses induced intrafollicular haemorrhage and luteinization of anovulatory follicles.  相似文献

We used DNA probes to study dietary effects on the prokaryotic population in the rumen. Procedures used to isolate and quantify prokaryotic 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) from the rumen using universal and species-specific DNA probes were evaluated. In this experiment, three ruminally fistulated steers were fed orchard-grass hay, and ruminal digesta were collected at 0, 3, and 9 h after offering hay (0800). Samples of ruminal digesta were taken from the interior portion of the digesta mat and from the fluid below the mat in the dorsal rumen. Freezing (-65 degrees C) and blending samples both increased (P less than .07) the yield of 16S rRNA from ruminal digesta. Extraction of prokaryotic rRNA was greater (P less than .04) when phenol buffered with sodium acetate was used than when it was buffered with hydroxymethyl-amino-methane. Prokaryotic 16S rRNA concentration of the fluid phase was similar (P greater than .10) at 0, 3, and 9 h after offering hay. Prokaryotic 16S rRNA concentration of the mat phase increased up to the 9 h after feeding. The proportion of Fibrobacter succinogenes remained constant in both digesta phases at all times measured. From these data we concluded that DNA probes can be used to monitor bacterial population shifts in the rumen.  相似文献
