Toxicity

The objective of the study was to determine the in vitro interaction between enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin against Escherichia coli and staphylococcal isolates from dogs. The microdilution checkerboard assay was used to determine the interaction of the drugs against 50 E. coli and 50 beta-haemolytic staphylococcal clinical isolates. The checkerboard assay revealed that the activity of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was additive against E. coli and staphylococcal clinical isolates. It was concluded that for bacterial species against which ciprofloxacin is more potent than enrofloxacin, the in vivo transformation of enrofloxacin to ciprofloxacin may enhance the efficacy of enrofloxacin, if additivity of the drugs is confirmed in vivo.

Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of enrofloxacin were determined after single intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administrations of 5 mg/kg body weight (BW) to 5 healthy adult Angora goats. Plasma enrofloxacin concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetics were best described by a 2-compartment open model. The elimination half-life and volume of distribution after IV and IM administrations were similar (t1/2beta, 4.0 to 4.7 hr and Vd(ss),1.2 to 1.5 L/kg, respectively). Enrofloxacin was rapidly (t1/2a, 0.25 hr) and almost completely absorbed (F, 90%) after IM administration. Mean plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin at 24 hr after IV and IM administration (0.07 and 0.09 microg/mL, respectively) were higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for most pathogens. In conclusion, once-daily IV and IM administration of enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg BW) in Angora goats may be useful in treatment of infectious diseases caused by sensitive pathogens.|Plasma, urine, and skin drug concentrations were determined for dogs (n=12) given five daily oral doses of marbofloxacin (MAR) (2.75 mg/kg), enrofloxacin (ENR) (5.0 mg/kg) or difloxacin (DIF) (5.0 mg/kg). Concentrations of the active metabolite of ENR, ciprofloxacin (CIP), were also determined. The three-period, three-treatment crossover experimental design included a 21-day washout period between treatments. Area under the plasma drug concentration vs. time curve (AUC0-last, microg/mlxhr of MAR was greater than for ENR, CIP, ENR/CIP combined, and DIF. Maximum concentration (Cmax) of MAR was greater than ENR, CIP, and DIF. Time of maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was similar for MAR and DIF; Tmax occurred earlier for ENR and later for CIP. Plasma half-life (t1/2) of MAR was longer than for ENR, CIP, and DIF. Urine concentrations of DIF were less than MAR or ENR/CIP combined, but urine concentrations of MAR and ENR/CIP combined did not differ. DIF skin concentrations were less than the concentrations of MAR or ENR/CIP combined 2 h after dosing, but skin concentrations of MAR and ENR/CIP combined did not differ.|Serum concentrations and pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin were studied in 6 mares after intravenous (IV) and intragastric (IG) administration at a single dose rate of 7.5 mg/kg body weight. In experiment 1, an injectable formulation of enrofloxacin (100 mg/ml) was given IV. At 5 min after injection, mean serum concentration was 9.04 microg/mL and decreased to 0.09 microg/mL by 24 hr. Elimination half-life was 5.33 +/- 1.05 hr and the area under the serum concentration vs time curve (AUC) was 21.03 +/- 5.19 mg x hr/L. In experiment 2, the same injectable formulation was given IG. The mean peak serum concentration was 0.94 +/- 0.97 microg/ml at 4 hr after administration and declined to 0.29 +/- 0.12 microg/ml by 24 hr. Absorption of this enrofloxacin preparation after IG administration was highly variable, and for this reason, pharmacokinetic values for each mare could not be determined. In experiment 3, a poultry formulation (32.3 mg/ml) was given IG. The mean peak serum concentration was 1.85 +/- 1.47 microg/ml at 45 min after administration and declined to 0.19 +/- 0.06 microg/mL by 24 h. Elimination half-life was 10.62 +/- 5.33 h and AUC was 16.30 +/- 4.69 mg x h/L. Bioavailability was calculated at 78.29 +/- 16.55%. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of enrofloxacin were determined for equine bacterial culture specimens submitted to the microbiology laboratory over an 11-month period. The minimum inhibitory concentration of enrofloxacin required to inhibit 90% of isolates (MIC90) was 0.25 microg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., and Pasteurella spp. The poultry formulation was well tolerated and could be potentially useful in the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections in adult horses. The injectable enrofloxacin solution should not be used orally.|Concentrations of enrofloxacin equivalent activity were determined by microbiological assay in the plasma of healthy and E. coli-infected broilers following single intravenous and oral administrations at 10 mg/kg. Tissue distribution and residue-depletion following multiple oral doses (10 mg/kg for 3 successive days) were investigated. Pharmacokinetic variables were determined using compartmental and non-compartmental analytical methods. Plasma enrofloxacin concentrations after intravenous dosing to healthy and infected birds were best described by a two-compartments model. Enrofloxacin concentrations in plasma of infected birds were lower than those of healthy ones. The disposition kinetics of intravenously administered drug in healthy and infected birds were somewhat different. The elimination half-life (t1/2 beta) was 4.75 vs. 3.63 hr; mean residence time (MRT) was 6.72 vs 4.90 hr; apparent volume of the central compartment (Vc) was 1.11 vs 1.57 l/kg; rate constant for transfer from peripheral to central compartment (k21) was 1.15 vs 1.41 hr-1 and total body clearance (ClB) was 0.35 vs 0.53 l/hr/kg in healthy and infected birds, respectively. After oral administration, the absorption half-life (t1/2abs) in the infected birds was significantly longer than in healthy birds, while elimination half-life (t1/2el) and MRT were significantly shorter. Bioavailability was higher in infected birds (72.50%) as compared to healthy ones (69.78%). Enrofloxacin was detected in the tissues of healthy and infected birds after daily oral dosing of 10 mg/kg for 3 days. It was more concentrated in liver, kidney, and breast muscle. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of enrofloxacin against E. coli was 0.064 microgram/ml. On the basis of maintaining enrofloxacin plasma concentrations over the MIC, a dose of 10 mg/kg given intravenously every 20.14 hr or orally every 20.86 hr should provide tissue concentrations effective against E. coli infection in chickens.|For more Absorption, Distribution and Excretion (Complete) data for ENROFLOXACIN (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

The pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin were investigated in goats after a single intramuscular administration of enrofloxacin at 2.5 mg/kg body weight. The plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were determined simultaneously by a HPLC method. The peak concentrations (Cmax) of enrofloxacin (1.13 microg/ml) and ciprofloxacin (0.24 microg/ml) were observed at 0.8 and 1.2 hr, respectively. The elimination half-life (t1/2beta), volume of distribution (Vd(area)), total body clearance (Cl(B)) and mean residence time (MRT) of enrofloxacin were 0.74 hr, 1.42 l/kg, 1329 ml/hr per kg and 1.54 hr, respectively. The t1/2beta, area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the MRT of ciprofloxacin were 1.38 h, 0.74 microg h/ml and 2.73 h, respectively. The metabolic conversion of enrofloxacin to ciprofloxacin was appreciable (36%) and the sum of the plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was maintained at or above 0.1 microg/ml for up to 4 hr. Enrofloxacin appears to be useful for the treatment of goat diseases associated with pathogens sensitive to this drug.
