Pharmacokinetic variables were calculated from time-concentration data obtained after IV (10 mg/kg of body weight; n = 9) and oral (12.5 mg/kg to group A [n = 3]; 25 mg/kg to group B [n = 3]; and 50 mg/kg to group C [n = 3] pigs) cyclosporine (formerly, cyclosporine A) administration. Resulting mean (+/- SD) pharmacokinetic variables were as follows: half life of distribution, 0.96 (+/- 0.7) hours; half life of elimination, 7.71 (+/- 2.6) hours; volume of distribution at steady state, 4.47 (+/- 2.22) L/kg; volume of the central compartment, 1.71 (+/- 0.78) L/kg; and systemic clearance, 8.95 (+/- 2.7) ml/kg/min. Oral bioavailability was: overall 57 (+/- 19) %; group A, 44 (+/- 11) %; group B, 78 (+/- 15) %; group C, 48 (+/- 6) %. Time to peak concentration was 3.55 (+/- 0.88) hours. During the 22 days of daily oral cyclosporine administration, blood 24-hour trough concentrations were: group A, 224.3 (+/- 78.4) ng/ml; group B, 640.7 (+/- 174.6) ng/ml; and group C, 2,344 (+/- 1,095) ng/ml. Lymphoblast transformation stimulation index was suppressed in all pigs except 1, which had a corresponding cyclosporine concentration of 92.4 ng/ml. Minimal, although statistically significant, decreases in serum albumin and magnesium concentrations and increases in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen concentrations were evident in pigs of some treatment groups. Histologic examination of necropsy specimens revealed mild hepatic necrosis (n = 1 pig), renal tubular dilatation (n = 5), and pulmonary inflammation (n = 2). Pigs given 25 and 50 mg of cyclosporine/kg failed to gain weight.
