Influence of ruminal distribution on norfloxacin pharmacokinetics in adult sheep

Self Cite

The pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin was studied in adult goats and 1-, 3- and 6-weeks-old kids after single dose i.v. dose of 2 mg/kg body weight. Drug concentration in plasma was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the data collected were subjected to compartmental kinetic analysis. Volume of distribution was relatively high in adult goats (Vss = 1.31 L/kg), and increased with age (Vss = 0.92 L/kg, 0.95 L/kg and 1.00 L/kg, in 1-, 3- and 6-weeks-old kids respectively). Total body clearance (Cl) also increased with age from 0.080 L/kg.h (1-week-old) to 0.097 L/kg.h (3-weeks-old), 0.18 L/kg.h (6-weeks-old) and 0.23 L/kg.h (adult goats). As a consequence of increased body Cl, area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve decreased with age (AUC = 27.46 microg.h/mL, 22.61 microg.h/mL, 11.86 microg.h/mL and 8.44 microg.h/mL in 1-, 3-, 6-weeks-old kids and adults, respectively) and a longer elimination half-life was found during the first 3 weeks of age (t1/2beta = 9.66 h, 8.25 h, 6.44 h and 7.18 h, in 1-, 3-, 6-weeks-old kids and adults, respectively). Mean residence time decreased with age from 11.86 h in 1-week-old kids to 9.63 h (3 weeks), 5.76 h (6 weeks) and 5.06 h in adult goats.

Age‐related changes in the pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin after intravenous administration in goats

“…Moreover, a decrease in gastrointestinal and hepatic blood flow has been reported in ruminants given E. coli endotoxin. This could contribute to reduce the volume of distribution of drugs including fluoroquinolones, which have demonstrated a wide pass through ruminal epithelium (González et al ., 2001). The acute phase response induced by fever includes synthesis of acute phase hepatic proteins, including α 1 ‐acid glycoprotein, which binds some drugs and can produce a decrease in their volume of distribution.…”

Influence of Escherichia coli endotoxin‐induced fever on the pharmacokinetic behavior of marbofloxacin after intravenous administration in goats

The pharmacokinetic behavior of marbofloxacin was studied in seven healthy goats and in the same goats with induced fever after single-dose intravenous (i.v.) administration of 2 mg/kg b.w. Fever was induced by the administration of Escherichia coli endotoxin. Drug concentration in plasma was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Drug distribution was somehow altered by fever as febrile goats showed a volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss = 0.72 +/- 0.15 L/kg) lower than normal goats (Vss = 1.19 +/- 0.33 L/kg). The elimination of the drug was also modified. Total plasma clearance (Cl) decreased from 0.24 +/- 0.12 L/kg/h in healthy animals to 0.13 +/- 0.05 L/kg/h in animals with endotoxin-induced fever, which is related to an increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC). Consequently, mean residence time (MRT) was also slightly increased in sick animals (MRT = 5.28 +/- 00.99 and 6.09 +/- 01.45 h, in healthy and febrile animals, respectively).

“…The pharmacokinetics of NFX has been studied in humans (Helmy, 2013), dogs (Brown et al, 1990), laboratory animals (Gilfillan et al, 1984), and other species (Anadon et al, 1992(Anadon et al, , 1995Gips & Soback, 1996;Gonzalez et al, 2001). However, the pharmacokinetic study of NFXNT was not conducted in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and crucian carp (Carassius auratus).…”

Comparative pharmacokinetics of norfloxacin nicotinate in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and crucian carp (Carassius auratus) after oral administration

Liu

et al. 2014

Comparative pharmacokinetics of norfloxacin nicotinate (NFXNT) was investigated in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and crucian carp (Carassius auratus) after a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg body weight (b.w.). Analyses of plasma samples were performed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with fluorescence detection. After oral dose, plasma concentration-time curves of common carp and crucian carp were best described by a two-compartment open model with first-order absorption. The pharmacokinetic parameters of common carp were similar to those of crucian carp. The distribution half-life (t1/2α ), elimination half-life (t1/2β ), peak concentration (Cmax ), time-to-peak concentration (Tmax ), and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of common carp were 1.58 h, 26.33 h, 6069.79 μg/L, 1.08 h, and 103072.36 h·μg/L, respectively, and those corresponding to crucian carp were 1.36 h, 26.55 h, 9586.06 μg/L, 0.84 h, and 126604.4 h·μg/L, respectively. These studies demonstrated that 10 mg NFXNT/kg body weight in common carp and crucian carp following oral dose presented good pharmacokinetic characteristics.
