Abstract:
Fourteen healthy pigs were divided into two groups of 7 pigs each. The pigs in group A were orally administrated with single dose of florfenicol powder at 30 mg/kg. The pigs in group B were also orally administrated with single dose of florfenicol granule at 30 mg/kg. Comparative study on the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol powder and florfenicol granule was carried out. Plasma concentration of florfenicol was determined by HPLC. The concentration-time data of florfenicol were analyzed by non-compartmental model based on pharmacokinetic software WinNonlin 5.2.1. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of powder following oral administration were:
t1/2β=(10.22±0.18)h,
ke=(0.07±0.01)h
-1,
tmax=(1.67±0.48)h,
Cmax=(24.68±1.13)μg·mL
-1,AUC=(190.97±16.60)μg·mL
-1·h,MRT=(8.33±0.42)h,
tcp=(17.66±1.52)h. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of granule following oral administration were :
t1/2β=(16.36±4.14)h,
ke=(0.05±0.01)h
-1,
tmax=(5.71±0.47)h,
Cmax=(12.23±0.78)μg·mL
-1,AUC=(155.44±6.59)μg·mL
-1·h,MRT=(14.96±0.35 )h,
tcp=(23.03±0.49)h. The results showed the granule of florfenicol after oral administration had slower elimination and longer effective time of the blood medicine density maintenance.
