The study was carried out to determine the biodisposition kinetics of ciprofloxacin in sheep model in Department of Pharmacology, Bangladesh Agricultural University. Healthy sheep of both sexes (n=65) were divided into 13 groups, each consists of five and given a single dose of ciprofloxacin @ 5 mg/kg bwt intramuscularly .Blood sample was collected from each group of sheep at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours interval respectively. Serum concentration of ciprofloxacin was determined by spectrophotometric method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were measured by single compartment open model and first order kinetics. The peak concentration of ciprofloxacin was 3.56±0.15mg/ ml, absorption half-life and biological half-life were 0.0846±1.79 and 1.75±0.15 h respectively. The apparent volume of distribution was found 35.54 mg/liter. The absorption rate constant was 8.188h-1, MRT was 2.647h-1 and total body clearances were found 16.88 h-1. These result suggested that a dose of 5 mg/kg bwt provides maximum plasma concentration and is effective in the control of many infectious diseases of sheep.

Purpose. The pharmacokinetics of modafinil were investigated in relation to gender and ethnicity in healthy young volunteers from Han, Mongolian, Korean, Uygur and Hui ( n = 10/group) following administration of a single 200 mg oral dose. Methods. Blood samples were collected over 48 h for the determination of plasma levels of modafinil and its acid metabolite by High performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector. Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental methods. Results. Modafinil was well tolerated and safe at a single oral dose of 200 mg. All participants reported adverse events, none of which was serious or unexpected. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve for modafinil concentration versus time, which was extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞), were higher in women compared to men (p < 0.01). No gender-based difference was noted in the total body weight-normalized modafinil oral clearance. The total body weight-normalized modafinil apparent volume of distribution and the t1/2 was found to exhibit an ethnicity-based significant difference. Conclusion. The results of the current study suggest that there might be pharmacokinetic differences related to gender and ethnicity in the pharmacokinetics of modafinil.

The present study was carried out to investigate disposition kinetics of moxifloxacin following single-dose intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), and subcutaneous (s.c.) administration at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg of body weight (b.wt.) in goats. Plasma samples collected after treatments were analyzed for drug concentration using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). After i.v. administration, distribution of the drug was rapid and wide as reflected by high steady-state volume of distribution. Drug elimination was relatively faster with a total body clearance of 0.59±0.03 L/h/kg. Following i.m. injection, the drug has shown the rapid and near-to-complete absorption with bioavailability of 98.20±3.96 per cent. The maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) of 1.21±0.04 μg/mL was attained at 1 h (Tmax). The drug was widely distributed as reflected by high apparent volume of distribution. The elimination half-life (t1/2β) of the drug was 6.26±0.08  h. Following s.c. administration, the drug was rapidly absorbed (Cmax: 1.16±0.02 μg/mL; tmax: 1 h) and slowly eliminated from the body. The elimination half-life and total body clearance (ClB) were 5.61±0.10 h and 0.60±0.03 L/h/kg, respectively. The bioavailability of moxifloxacin following s.c. administration was 90.44±3.96 per cent.

Abstract Background: Buserelin is a LHRH agonist used for the treatment of hormone-dependent diseases in males and females. However, the pharmacokinetics of buserelin in pigs and cows are not clearly understood. This study was designed to develop a sensitive method to determine the concentration of buserelin and to investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters after intramuscular (i.m.) administration in pigs and cows. Results: A sensitive and rapid stability method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed. The pharmacokinetic parameters of buserelin after i.m. administration were studies in five pigs and five cows at a single dose of 1 mg per pig and 3 mg per cow. The plasma kinetics were analyzed by WinNonlin 8.1.0 software using a non-compartmental model. The mean concentration area under the curve (AUC0-t) was 25.02 ± 6.93 h·ng/mL for pigs and 5.63 ±1.86 h·ng/mL for cows. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and time to reach the maximum concentration (tmax) were 10.99 ± 2.04 ng/mL and 0.57 ± 0.18 h for pigs and 2.68 ± 0.36 ng/mL and 1.05 ±0.27 h for cows, respectively. The apparent volume of distribution (Vz) in pigs and cows was 80.49 ± 43.88 L and 839.88 ± 174.77 L, respectively. The elimination half-time (t1/2λz), and clearance (CL) were 1.29 ± 0.40 h and 41.15 ± 11.18 L/h for pigs and 1.13 ± 0.3 h and 545.04 ± 166.40 L/h for cows, respectively. No adverse effects were observed in any of the animals. Conclusion: This study extends previous studies describing the pharmacokinetics of buserelin following i.m. administration in pigs and cows. Further studies investigating other factors were needed to establish therapeutic protocol in pigs and cows and to extrapolate these parameters to others economic animals.

Lactose in normal saline was administered intravenously to a group of Zebu cattle infected with Trypanosoma vivax to determine the bloodplasma kinetics at onset of an experimental infection and its ability to protect tissues against damage as part of preliminary studies to determine its suitability for use in the treatment of trypanosomosis. Significant (P <0.01) higher lactose concentrations were observed in the T. vivax-intecled bulls at 30 min and 1h (P< 0.05) post-infectio (p.i.) and by 4 h p.i. the plasma lactose remained above the level prior to infusion, after which it fell slightly below the preinfusion level in the uninfected group. Calculated pharmacokinetic parameters revealed delayed excretion of lactose in the T. vivax-intected group soon after infection. The total body clearance (C/B )was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced. The biological half-life (t1/2), elimination rate constant (kel) and apparent volume of distribution (Vd) were relatively decreased (P > 0.05) as a result of the T. vivax infection. Retention of lactose in the plasma was attributed to decreased plasma clearance l.t is suggested that the presence of trypanosomes in circulation rather than organic lesions could have been responsible for the delay observed in the excretion of lactose.At 12 weeks p.i., when the experiment was terminated, the group infected and given lactose infusion (despiteh igherp arasitaemia) had no gross or histopathological lesions in the brain, spleen, lymphnodes, heart, kidneys, liver and testes. However, the group infected but not infused with lactose were emaciated, had pale mucosae, watery blood, general muscular atrophy, serous atrophy of coronary fat and other adiposet issue, hepatomegalys, plenomegalys, wollen and oedematous lymph nodes, all of which are suggestive of trypanosomosis. Histopathological lesions included arrowing of Bowman's space and hypercellularity of glomerular tufts in the kidneys with the mean glomerula truft nucleairn dices (GTNs) in the group significantly higher (P <0.01)than the mean GTNs of the lactoseinfused and control bulls. Degenerative changes occurred in the myocardium, spleen, testes and epididymides. The tesicular and epididymal lesions are indicative of male reproductive dysfunction.

The pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin was studied following a single intravenous, oral administration in normal broiler chickens and repeated oral administrations in normal and experimentally E.coli infected broiler chickens. The pharmacokinetic parameters following a single intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg b.wt., revealed that marbofloxacin obeyed a two compartments open model, distribution half-life (t0.5(α)) was 0.25±0.02 h, volume of distribution (Vdss) was 0.76±0.08 L/kg, elimination half-life (t0.5(β)) was 5.43±0.87 h and total body clearance (CLtot) was 0.09±0.002 l/kg/h. Following a single oral administration, marbofloxacin was rapidly and efficiently absorbed through gastrointestinal tract of chickens as the absorption half-life (t0.5 (ab): 0.62±0.02 h). Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) was 1.15±0.01 μg/ml, reached its maximum time (tmax) at 2.53±0.04 h, elimination half-life (t0.5 (el)) was 7.36±0.20 h indicating the tendency of chickens to eliminate marbofloxacin in slow rate. Oral bioavailability was 73.57± 1.90 % indicating good absorption of marbofloxacin after oral administration. Serum concentrations of marbofloxacin following repeated oral administration of 2 mg/kg b.wt. once daily for five consecutive days, peaked 2 hours after each oral dose with lower significant values recorded in experimentally infected broiler chickens than in normal ones. Tissues residues of marbofloxacin in slaughtered normal chickens was highly in those tissues lung, liver, and kidneys in chickens and the chicken must not be slaughtered before 3 days of stopping of drug administration. It was concluded that the in- vitro protein binding was 12.33±0.82%.

Abstract Abstract 2259 Introduction: In Congenital Bleeding Disorders (CBD), efficacy of Replacement Therapy (RT) can be indirectly measured on the basis of pharmacokinetic (PK) methods. Therapeutic concentrations of clotting factors in the blood-stream at a given time depend on the dose and frequency of RT and the fall off patterns specific for each clotting factor (i.e. PK properties). The issue of the frequency of RT administration is particularly relevant in Factor VII (FVII) deficiency, a CBD characterized by the lack of a rare protein with a very short half-life. Recombinant FVIIa (rFVIIa), plasma-derived FVII (pdFVII) concentrates and Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) are used for on-demand or prophylaxis replacement despite reported half-lives in the range of 2–5 hours. Very limited information is available with reference to the pharmacokinetic parameters of infused FVII in FVII deficiency. The same holds for the In Vivo Recovery (IVR). In this study, we evaluated the PK of rFVIIa in 11 severe (FVIIc <2%) FVII deficient patients. Further, evaluation of “incremental” IVR was performed in 116 patients with a FVII deficiency (90 for rFVIIa, 19 for pdFVII concentrates and 7 for FFP). Methods & Results: Eleven severe FVII-deficient individuals in the non-bleeding state were given rFVIIa doses ranging from 16 to 24 μg/Kg/bw (mean 19.7, median 20). Pharmacokinetic parameters of rFVIIa were analyzed with reference to FVIIc post-infusion levels. Analyses of the PK parameters are detailed in Tab. 1. In Tab. 2 results regarding the IVR analyses of rFVIIa, pdFVII and FFP are reported, on the basis of FVIIc 15' after replacement. IVR data were also evaluated with reference to the baseline FVIIc, age and FVII mutation zygosity. Conclusions: PK data are characterized by an optimal correspondence between FVIIc levels and time; data variability is ample considering that all individuals were adults or teen-agers. Terminal half-life appeared longer than the Mean Residence Time (MRT) or T1/2, a data that can be interpreted as a reduction of the factor flow from the plasma pool to the extravascular space at the end of the fall off curve; this is confirmed by the Apparent volume of distribution based on the terminal phase (Vz) that is higher than the Apparent Volume of distribution at equilibrium (Vss). MRT and T1/2 are in keeping with previous studies and appear lower than those already reported for the pdFVII concentrates. Quite variable is also the Clearance (CL) showing that metabolic degradation and/or FVIIa vascular uptake greatly differ among patients. The latter aspect points towards the need for a CL individualized evaluation for patients who are eligible for continuous infusion protocols. Incremental IVRs of rFVIIa and FFP were lower (p< 0.001) than those calculated for the pdFVII concentrates. The difference between the recoveries of rFVIIa and pdFVII can either be ascribed to the FVIIc assay (only FVIIa assayed in the case of rFVIIa administration, FVII zymogen and FVIIa assayed in the case of pdFVII concentrates), to a more rapid disappearance rate of FVIIa from the vascular compartment or, finally, to a more rapid uptake by the FVIIa receptors (TF on the pericytes and the PC receptor on the endothelial cells). No difference was found between IVRs in children and adults nor between individuals with baseline FVIIc <2% or ≥ 2%. Also, no differences were found between patients homozygous or compound heterozygous for FVII gene lesions. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

ABSTRACT Optimal concentrations of unbound antimicrobials are essential for a maximum microbiological effect. Although hypoalbuminemia and albumin fluid resuscitation are common in critical care, the effects of different albumin concentrations on the unbound concentrations of highly protein-bound antimicrobials are not known. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different albumin states on total and unbound concentrations of ertapenem and ceftriaxone using an ovine model. The study design was a prospective, three-phase intervention observational study. The subjects were healthy Merino sheep. Eight sheep were subjected to three experimental phases: normoalbuminemia, hypoalbuminemia using plasmapheresis, and albumin replacement using a 25% albumin solution. In each phase, ceftriaxone at 40 mg/kg of body weight and ertapenem at 15 mg/kg were given intravenously. Blood samples were collected at predefined intervals and analyzed using an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as the area under the curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0–24), plasma clearance (CL), and apparent volume of distribution in the terminal phase (V) were estimated and compared between the phases. The protein and albumin concentrations were significantly different between phases. Hypoalbuminemia resulted in a significantly lower AUC0–24 and higher CL of total and unbound concentrations of ceftriaxone than in the other phases, whereas albumin replacement led to higher AUC0–24 and lower CL than in the other phases for both drugs. The V values for total drug concentrations for both drugs were significantly lower with albumin replacement. For highly protein-bound drugs such as ceftriaxone and ertapenem, both hypoalbuminemia and albumin replacement may affect unbound drug exposure.

Pharmacokinetic parameters of a ketamine (10 mg/kg, iv) bolus in decerebrate and intact cats were compared. A two-compartment open model best described the data in both groups. The apparent volume of distribution of the peripheral compartment, the apparent volume of distribution of the drug in the body, and the half-life of the postdistributive phase were significantly less (p < 0.05) in the decerebrate animals. These results emphasize the importance of correlating behavior and neuronal activity with plasma or blood concentrations of drug in animals rather than assuming that, for a given drug dose, blood (and thus tissue) levels of the agent will be similar regardless of how the animal is prepared for study.

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.
