Pharmacokinetics of sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim in a 5:1 ratio following intraperitoneal and oral administration, in the hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops × Morone saxitalis)

Selected pharmacokinetic parameters for sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim, administered in a 5:1 ratio, via the oral and intraperitoneal (i.p.) routes were determined in the hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops × Morone saxitalis). Plasma concentrations of both drugs were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. A first-order one-compartment model adequately described plasma drug disposition. The elimination half-lives for sulfadimethoxine following i.p. and oral administration were 26 and 10.5 h, respectively. The half-lives for ormetoprim administered via i.p. and oral routes were 7.5 and 3.9 h, respectively. Cmax for sulfadimethoxine via the i.p. and oral routes were calculated to be 27.7 (±9.0) ,g/mL at 3.6 h and 3.2 (±1.2) ,g/mL at 1.2 h, respectively. Cmax for ormetoprim via the i.p. route was calculated to be 1.2 (±0.5) ,g/mL at 9.1 h and 1.58 (±0.7) ,g/mL at 5.7 h for the oral route. The oral availability of sulfadimethoxine relative to the i.p. route was 4.6%, while the oral availability of ormetoprim relative to the i.p. route was 78.5%. Due to the nonconstant ratio of these drugs in the plasma of the animal, the actual drug ratio to use for determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is unclear. Using the ratio of the total amount of each drug that is absorbed as a surrogate for the mean actual ratio may be the best alternative to current methods. Using this ratio as determined in these studies, (2.14:1 sulfadimethoxine:ormetoprim) to determine the MICs the single 50 mg/kg oral dose of the 5:1 combination of sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim appears to provide plasma concentrations high enough to inhibit the growth of Yersinia ruckeri, Edwardsiella tarda, and Escherichia coli.

Downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines by lupeol measured using cytometric bead array immunoassay

PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH, Issue 1 2010

Abstract The objective of the study was to investigate the activity of Lupeol (LUP) on proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the pleural exudate from male swiss albino mice. We applied Cytometric bead array technology for simultaneously measurement of these cytokines in pleurisy induced mice treated with lupeol in graded oral doses. Cytometric bead array uses the sensitivity of amplified fluorescence detection by flowcytometer to measure soluble analytes in a particle based immune assay. This assay can accurately quantitate 5 cytokines in a 50 microlitre sample volume. Oral administration of LUP at doses of 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg p.o. produced dose related inhibition of IL-2, IFN-gamma and TNF- , in the pleural exudate with the most significant effect at 100 mg/kg oral dose. LUP had a non significant inhibitory effect on the levels of IL-4 and IL-5. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Dose-dependent pharmacokinetics of a new reversible proton pump inhibitor, DBM-819, after intravenous and oral administration to rats: hepatic first-pass effect

BIOPHARMACEUTICS AND DRUG DISPOSITION, Issue 3 2001
Eun J. Kim
Abstract The dose-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters of DBM-819 were evaluated after intravenous (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) and oral (10, 20 and 50 mg/kg) administrations of the drug to rats. The hepatic first-pass effect was also measured after intravenous and intraportal administrations of the drug, 10 mg/kg, to rats. After intravenous administration, the dose-normalized (based on 5 mg/kg) area under the plasma concentration,time curve from time zero to time infinity, AUC, at 20 mg/kg (27.0 and 45.8 ,g min/ml) was significantly greater than that at 5 mg/kg due to saturable metabolism. After oral administration, the dose-normalized (based on 10 mg/kg) AUC0,12 h at 50 mg/kg (25.1, 18.3 and 49.2 ,g min/ml) was significantly greater than those at 10 and 20 mg/kg again due to saturable metabolism. After oral administration of DBM-819, 10 mg/kg, 2.86% of oral dose was not absorbed and the extent of absolute oral bioavailability (F) was estimated to be 46.7%. After intraportal administration of DBM-819, 10 mg/kg, the AUC was 51.9% of intravenous administration, suggesting that approximately 48.1% was eliminated by liver (hepatic first-pass effect). The considerable hepatic first-pass effect of DBM-819 was also supported by significantly greater AUC of M3 (3.70 and 6.86 ,g min/ml), a metabolite of DBM-819, after intraportal administration. The AUCs of DBM-819 were not significantly different (comparable) between intraportal and oral administrations of the drug, 10 mg/kg, suggesting that gastrointestinal first-pass effect of DBM-819 was almost negligible in rats. At 10 mg/kg oral dose of DBM-819, the hepatic first-pass effect was approximately 48.1%, F was approximately 46.7 and 2.86% was not absorbed from gastrointestinal tract in rats.

Pharmacokinetics of TDP223206 following intravenous and oral administration to intact rats and intravenous administration to bile duct-cannulated rats

Abstract The pharmacokinetics of TDP223206 was studied following single intravenous and oral administrations in rats. A mixture of TDP223206 and 14C-TDP223206 were administered to intact and bile duct-cannulated rats. Following intravenous administration, plasma concentrations declined biphasically. The AUCinf increased linearly with dose but was not dose proportional. The PK parameters of TDP223206 indicated low clearance (254,386,ml/h/kg) and a moderate volume of distribution (968,1883,ml/kg). The bioavailability was 32.95% and 24.46% for 10 and 50,mg/kg oral doses, respectively. 14C-TDP223206 was distributed widely into different tissues with small intestine, liver, kidneys and large intestine having large tissue to plasma ratios. 14C-TDP223206 was the major circulating component in the plasma. A total of 91.2% of administered radioactivity of 14C-TDP223206 was recovered in bile indicating that biliary excretion was the major pathway for drug elimination. 14C-TDP223206-acyl glucuronides were the major metabolites in bile. The oxo- 14C-TDP223206 was the major metabolite in plasma and an important metabolite in bile. Two forms of diastereomeric acyl glucuronides of 14C-TDP223206 were detected in bile with similar LC/MS intensities suggesting a similar biotransformation capacity. Only one form of these 14C-TDP223206-acyl glucuronides was detected in plasma suggesting that enterohepatic recirculation was related to the nature of the stereo-isomers.
