Disposition kinetics and urinary excretion of ceftriaxone were investigated in healthy crossbred calves after its single intravenous administration (10 mg kg–1). Based on kinetic parameters, an appropriate dosage regimen of ceftriaxone in calves was calculated. The peak plasma level of ceftriaxone at 1 min was 84.0 ± 1.55 μg ml–1 which declined to 0.43 ± 0.05 μg ml–1 at 8 h. The value of elimination half-life (t1/2α), volume of distribution Vd (area) and total body clearance (ClB) were 4.39 ± 0.63 h, 1.91 ± 0.19 L kg–1 and 0.31 ± 0.01 L kg–1 h–1, respectively. Approximately 41 per cent of total administered drug was recovered in the urine within 24 h of its administration. The plasma protein binding of ceftriaxone was found to be concentration dependent with an overall mean of 38.55 per cent. The binding capacity of ceftriaxone to plasma proteins and the dissociation rate constant of protein-drug complex were 20.1 × 10–8 ± 18.4 × 10–8 mole g–1 and 1.07 × 10–6 ± 0.52 × 10–6 mole, respectively. An appropriate intravenous dosage regimen of ceftriaxone in cattle would be 12 mg kg–1 repeated at 24 h.

The plasma disposition of cefoperazone was investigated after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administrations of 20 mg/kg as a single dose in six camels (Camelus dromedarius) in a crossover design. Blood plasma samples were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). After IV administration, elimination half-life (t1/2β), volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss), total body clearance (Cltot) and mean residence time (MRT) of cefoperazone were 1.95 h, 0.38 L/kg, 0.17 L/h/kg and 2.16 h, respectively. After IM administration of cefoperazone, peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was 21.95 μg/mL and it was obtained at (tmax) 1.23 h. Absorption half-life (t1/2ab), elimination half-life and mean absorption time were 0.45 h, 2.84 h and 2.07 h, respectively. The bioavailability of cefoperazone was 89.42%. The lack of local reaction or any other adverse effects and the very good bioavailability following IM administration indicate that cefoperazone might be a promising alternative treatment for a variety of infectious diseases in camels.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetic characteristics of piperacillin sodium were studied in five volunteers undergoing on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF). The subjects were given 2 g of piperacillin sodium intravenously over 1 min and placed on on-line HDF for 4 h starting at 60 min after the piperacillin infusion. Noncompartmental models were employed for estimation of the pharmacokinetic parameters, and intradialytic piperacillin clearance was calculated by the recovery method. The mean volume of distribution and the elimination half-life were 0.27 ± 0.13 liter/kg (mean ± standard deviation) and 1.1 ± 0.6 h, respectively. The total body clearance of piperacillin was 0.19 ± 0.08 liter/h/kg. Piperacillin clearance through on-line HDF was 0.11 ± 0.06 liter/h/kg. The mean serum piperacillin concentration was 4.0 ± 1.9 μg/ml at the end of the 4-h on-line HDF session. The concentration of infused piperacillin recovered in the dialysate was 527 ± 236 mg (26.3% ± 11.8%). We suggest the replacement of 500 mg of piperacillin after each on-line HDF session.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetic properties of meropenem were investigated in nine critically ill patients treated by continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). All patients received one dose of 1 g of meropenem intravenously. High-flux polysulfone membranes were used as dialyzers. Meropenem levels were measured in plasma and ultrafiltrate by high-performance liquid chromatography. The total body clearance and elimination half-life were 143.7 ± 18.6 ml/min and 2.46 ± 0.41 h, respectively. The post- to prehemofiltration ratio of meropenem was 0.24 ± 0.06. Peak plasma drug concentrations measured 60 min postinfusion were 28.1 ± 2.7 μg/ml, and trough levels after 6 h of CVVH were 6.6 ± 1.5 μg/ml. The calculated total daily meropenem requirement in these patients with acute renal failure and undergoing CVVH was 2,482 ± 321 mg. Based on these data, we conclude that patients with severe infections who are undergoing CVVH can be treated effectively with 1 g of meropenem every 8 h.

The pharmacokinetics (after single intravenous and oral dose) and tissue residues (orally and daily for five days) of cephradine (20 mg/kg b.wt.) were investigated in healthy and experimentally E.coli infected broiler chickens. Following single intravenous injection to healthy chickens, cephradine obeyed a two compartments open model and the elimination half-life (t1/2β), volume of distribution (Vdss) and total body clearance (CLtot) of cephradine were 2.93 h, 321.5 ml/kg and 0.08 L/h/kg, respectively. Following single oral administration of cephradine to healthy chickens, the peak serum concentration (Cmax) of it was 26.7 µg/mL and achieved (Tmax) at 2.41 h. The oral bioavailability of cephradine was 87.7%. Cephradine was assayed in kidney, liver, heart, gizzard, spleen, breast muscle, thigh muscle and skin after 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h after last dose. On conclusion, cephradine is a good choice for treatment of colisepticemia in chickens due to its higher oral bioavailability and distribution.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of the antifungal pradimicin derivative BMS 181184 in plasma of normal, catheterized rabbits were characterized after single and multiple daily intravenous administrations of dosages of 10, 25, 50, or 150 mg/kg of body weight, and drug levels in tissues were assessed after multiple dosing. Concentrations of BMS 181184 were determined by a validated high-performance liquid chromatography method, and plasma data were modeled into a two-compartment open model. Across the investigated dosage range, BMS 181184 demonstrated nonlinear, dose-dependent kinetics with enhanced clearance, reciprocal shortening of elimination half-life, and an apparently expanding volume of distribution with increasing dosage. After single-dose administration, the mean peak plasma BMS 181184 concentration (C max) ranged from 120 μg/ml at 10 mg/kg to 648 μg/ml at 150 mg/kg; the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0–24) ranged from 726 to 2,130 μg · h/ml, the volume of distribution ranged from 0.397 to 0.799 liter/kg, and the terminal half-life ranged from 4.99 to 2.31 h, respectively (P < 0.005 toP < 0.001). No drug accumulation in plasma occurred after multiple daily dosing at 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg over 15 days, although mean elimination half-lives were slightly longer. Multiple daily dosing at 150 mg/kg was associated with enhanced total clearance and a significant decrease in AUC0–24 below the values obtained at 50 mg/kg (P < 0.01) and after single-dose administration of the same dosage (P < 0.05). Assessment of tissue BMS 181184 concentrations after multiple dosing over 16 days revealed substantial uptake in the lungs, liver, and spleen and, most notably, dose-dependent accumulation of the drug within the kidneys. These findings are indicative of dose- and time-dependent elimination of BMS 181184 from plasma and renal accumulation of the compound after multiple dosing.

The influence of age on the disposition of theophylline was studied in 95 adult patients (nonsmokers) with bronchial asthma requiring oral theophylline therapy: 17 patients age ≥39 years, 50 patients age 40–59 years, and 28 patients < 60 years. A decrease was observed in total body clearance together with an increase in the elimination half-life of theophylline parallel to the advance in age of the patients. The apparent volume of distribution of theophylline was similar in the three groups of patients. According to the results obtained, recommendations are made regarding the dosage regimens of theophylline in elderly patients.

ABSTRACT The distribution, metabolism, and excretion of CS-023 (RO4908463), a new carbapenem, were investigated in rats and monkeys after a single intravenous administration of [14C]CS-023. In addition, the drug's pharmacokinetics were examined in rats, dogs, and monkeys. Whole-body autoradioluminograms of rats indicated that the radioactivity is distributed throughout the body immediately after administration except for the central nervous system and testes. The highest radioactivity was found in the kidneys, which are responsible for the excretion of CS-023. R-131624 with an open β-lactam ring, the pharmacologically inactive form, was detected in the plasma and urine as the major metabolite. In rat plasma, the R-131624 levels became higher than CS-023 levels at 30 min postdose and thereafter, while in monkey plasma, CS-023 accounted for most of the radioactivity, with low levels of R-131624. More than 80% of the radioactivity administered was recovered in the urine, and CS-023 and R-131624 accounted for 29.6% and 31.4%, respectively, of the dose in rats and 51.2% and 18.5%, respectively, of the dose in monkeys. The faster metabolism to R-131624 in rats than in monkeys was likely due to the metabolism by dehydropeptidase I in rat lungs. The plasma elimination half-life of CS-023 was 0.16 h in rats, 0.75 h in dogs, and 1.4 h in monkeys. There were no appreciable interspecies differences among the animals tested in either volume of distribution (172 to 259 ml/kg) or serum protein binding (5.0 to 15.6%). The total clearance in monkeys (1.62 ml/min/kg) was lower than that in rats (15.1 ml/min/kg) or dogs (4.19 ml/min/kg).

ABSTRACT Absorption, pharmacokinetics, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of [14C]ribavirin were studied in rats (30 mg/kg of body weight) and cynomolgus monkeys (10 mg/kg) after intravenous (i.v.) and oral administration. The oral absorption and bioavailability were 83 and 59%, respectively, in rats and 87 and 55%, respectively, in monkeys. After i.v. administration, the elimination half-life (t [1/2]) was 9.9 h in rats and 130 h in monkeys and the total body clearance was 2,600 ml/h/kg in rats and 224 ml/h/kg in monkeys. The apparent volume of distribution was 11.4 liter/kg in rats and 29.4 liter/kg in monkeys. There was extensive distribution of drug-derived radioactivity into red blood cells and extensive metabolism of ribavirin in rats and a lesser degree of metabolism in monkeys. Excretion of total radioactivity in urine from rats accounted for 84% of the i.v. dose and 83% of the oral dose, whereas that from monkeys accounted for 47% of the i.v. dose and 67% of the oral dose. Several metabolites were observed in plasma and urine from both species. The amount of unchanged ribavirin in urine from both species was quite small after either i.v. or oral administration.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerance of ciprofloxacin after the administration of single intravenous doses of 200, 300, and 400 mg. DESIGN: Double-blind, three-period, randomized, crossover trial. SETTING: Private, university-affiliated, hospital-based, clinical research center. PATIENTS: Normal healthy male volunteers, 18–40 years of age. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects received 200-, 300-, and 400-mg single intravenous doses of ciprofloxacin via 30-minute infusions in random sequence. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum ciprofloxacin concentrations were determined by HPLC after each dose and the results were used to derive pharmacokinetic parameters. Tolerance was assessed by reported and observed adverse events, urine microscopic examinations for crystals, and examination of intravenous infusion sites. RESULTS: The mean area under the time curve (AUC) values displayed linearity with respect to the administered dose. No statistical differences were observed in total body clearance, steady-state volume of distribution, or elimination half-life with respect to dose administered. The mean total body clearance, steady-state volume of distribution, or elimination half-life ranged from 36 to 41 L/h, 146 to 169 L, and 3.5 to 3.7 h for the 200-, 300-, and 400-mg doses, respectively. Adverse effects, including venous irritation (four subjects) and crystalluria (two subjects), were mild and did not require withdrawal of any subject from the study. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous ciprofloxacin in doses ranging from 200 to 400 mg demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics. These single doses were well tolerated, although cases of transient venous irritation and crystalluria were observed.
