Pharmacokinetic variables and bioavailability from muscle of creatine kinase in cattle
1994
Lefebvre, H.P. | Toutain, P.L. | Serthelon, J.P. | Lassourd, V. | Gardey, L. | Braun, J.P.
Pharmacokinetic variables of skeletal muscle creatine kinase (CK) activity after IV administration of a muscle extract; CK bioavailability after IM administration of the muscle extract; and effect of IM administration of saline solution, to appreciate the possible release of CK consecutive to muscle puncture, were determined in 6 cows. A general equation for the quantitative estimation of skeletal muscle damage also was derived. Administration of saline solution IM had no effect on plasma CK activity (ANOVA, P > 0.05) in any of the cows. After IV administration of the muscle extract (150 U/kg of body weight), mean volume of the central compartment, plasma half-life, and plasma clearance of CK were 0.027 +/- 0.007 L/kg, 520 +/- 109 minutes, and 6.43 +/- 2.29 ml/kg/h, respectively. After IM administration (150 U/kg), mean bioavailability of CK was 51 +/- 17% and maximal plasma CK activity (500 +/- 97 U/L) was observed at 454 +/- 131 minutes. The rate of CK activity entry into plasma was determined by use of deconvolution analysis. Two peaks were observed; the first appeared before the 30th minute after IM administration, and the second appeared at 3.3 +/- 1.1 hours. Amplitudes were 6.31 +/- 4.45 and 6.57 +/- 3.08 U/kg/h, for the first and the second peaks, respectively. The quantity of CK liberated from control muscle was 0.69 +/- 0.12 U/kg/h, corresponding to a normal daily catabolism of 5.8 +/- 1.0 mg of muscle/kg. From these results, the following equation can be proposed to determine the corresponding mean equivalent of destroyed muscle (Qmuscle, test article) after IM administration of a test article: Qmuscle, test article (g/kg) = 4.41 X 10(-6) AUC (U/h/L), with AUC being the CK plasma activity area under the curve.

1994
Vail, D.M. | Elfarra, A.A. | Panciera, D.L. | Hutson, P.R.
A bolus dose of methimazole (MMI) was administered IV over 1 minute to 5 healthy adult dogs at a dosage (40 mg/kg of body weight) known to impart protection against cisplatin-induced renal disease. Blood and urine samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected over a 24-hour period. Physical examination, CBC, determination of serum thyroid hormone concentrations, and serum biochemistry analysis were performed over a 10-day period to evaluate short-term toxicoses. At this dosage, MMI appears to be safe and well tolerated in dogs; only 1 of the 5 dogs had mild and transient increases in serum activity of hepatic enzymes. In addition, MMI did not alter serum thyroid hormone concentrations. Half-life of 8.82 hours and mean residence time of 12.18 hours were determined for MMI. Renal clearance of native MMI, along with sulfate and glucuronide conjugates, represented only 20% of total systemic clearance. Results of this study provide further information concerning clinical use of MMI in dogs and may contribute to better understanding of the mechanism of MMI protection against chemically induced nephrotoxicosis.

1994
Day, D.G. | Meyer, D.J. | Johnson, S.E. | Weisbrode, S.E. | Thudium, D.T. | Rhodes, D.C.
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA; 10 mg/kg of body weight) was administered orally to 5 healthy cats for 3 months. Signs of illness were not apparent in any cat during treatment with UDCA. Results of monthly CBC, serum biochemical analysis, and urinalysis were unchanged during drug administration. There was a decrease in serum cholesterol concentration in 4 cats. Total postprandial serum bile acids (PPSBA) concentration was significantly (P = 0.0003) increased over total preprandial serum bile acids (PRSBA) concentration at all sample collection periods. The PRSBA and PPSBA concentrations were significantly (P < 0.05) increased at all sample collection periods after administration of UDCA, compared with baseline values. Ursodeoxycholic and tauroursodeoxycholic acids were not detected in serum prior to initiating administration of UDCA. Both bile acids were detected in the serum of all cats 1 and 2 months after UDCA administration and were detected in the serum of 2 cats 3 months after initiating UCDA administration. Hepatic ultrasonographic findings were normal before and after completion of UDCA administration. A mild, focal lymphocytic infiltrate was observed in 3 cats 3 months after initiating UDCA administration. Results of the study indicate that UDCA is absorbed into the systemic circulation of cats after oral administration, undergoes hepatic conjugation, and appears to be safe.

1994
Hall, L.W. | Lagerweij, E. | Nolan, A.M. | Sear, J.W.
Pharmacokinetic variables of propofol were investigated in 6 mixed-breed dogs, and the effect of medetomidine (10 microgram/kg of body weight) on these kinetics was investigated using a two-way crossover design. On 2 occasions, dogs received either a bolus dose of propofol sufficient to allow endotracheal intubation, followed by an infusion of propofol (0.4 mg/kg/min) for 120 minutes, or medetomidine (10 microgram/kg, IM), 15 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia as described, followed by infusion of propofol (0.2 mg/kg/min). Dogs given medetomidine received atipamezole (50 microgram/kg, IM) at the end of the 120-minute propofol infusion. Blood propofol concentration was measured, using high- performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Mean elimination half-life, blood clearance, mean residence time, and mean volume of distribution at steady state, were 486.2 minutes, 34.4 ml/kg/min, 301.8 minutes, and 6.04 L/kg, respectively, in the absence of medetomidine, and 136.9 minutes, 36.2 ml/kg/min, 215.1 minutes, and 3.38 L/kg, respectively, in the presence of medetomidine. Mean time to walking without ataxia was 174 minutes in the nonpremedicated dogs (with a median blood propofol concentration of 2.2 microgram/ml) and was 160 minutes in the premedicated dogs in which median blood propofol concentration was 1.03 microgram/ml.

1994
Matherne, C.M. | Satterfield, W.C. | Gasparini, A. | Tonetti, M. | Astroff, A.B. | Schmidt, R.D. | Rowe, L.D. | DeLoach, J.R.
Doxorubicin was encapsulated in canine erythrocytes, treated with 0.32% glutaraldehyde, and administered at a dosage equivalent to 30 mg of free doxorubicin/m(2) of body surface area to dogs with diagnosis of lymphosarcoma. Compared with administration of free doxorubicin, this method of drug delivery substantially reduced peak plasma concentration and prolonged higher plasma concentration of doxorubicin. As such, this method was comparable to continuous IV infusion. Previous studies have indicated this method's potential for reduction in toxic side effects, particularly cardiotoxicosis, while allowing higher total doses of doxorubicin to be administered. In this study, doxorubicin encapsulated in glutaraldehyde-treated erythrocytes induced a triphasic exponential decay of doxorubicin from plasma, the highest relative contribution to the total area of the curve being the terminal phase. The treatment was effective in inducing complete and partial remissions of lymphosarcoma, with minimal acute toxicosis and no evidence of cardiotoxicosis. However, substantial, unanticipated, chronic, nonregenerative myelosuppression developed, and was most strikingly expressed as profound thrombocytopenia. Efforts to ameliorate or circumvent this toxic effect will be required prior to further consideration of this doxorubicin delivery system for treatment of systemic neoplasia.

1994
Baggot, J.D.
Disposition kinetic variables of HI-6, a bispyridinium oxime, have been determined in mice, rats, rabbits, Rhesus monkeys, Beagles, sheep, and human beings. The drug has a short half-life, small apparent volume of distribution and high body clearance in these species, and is eliminated mainly by renal excretion. Using regression analysis and double logarithmic plots of the pharmacokinetic variables vs body weight of the various species, it was observed that body (systemic) clearance is the pharmacokinetic variable to use for interspecies comparison of elimination of the drug. The allometric exponent denoting the proportionality of body clearance of HI-6 to body weight of the 7 species studied was 0.76, which may be related to the renal excretion process for the drug. The apparent volume of distribution was similar (260 to 304 ml/kg of body weight) in the various species. The results indicate that volume of distribution, body clearance, and with less confidence, half-life might be used for interspecies scaling and for predicting these variables in other mammalian species. On the basis of the pharmacokinetic variables in selected species (rats and mice excluded), IV administration of III-6 at a dosing rate of 20 to 25 mg/kg at 4-hour intervals should provide an average steady-state plasma concentration of 16 to 20 micrograms/ml in domestic animals. The short half-life of III-6 precludes increasing the dosage interval.

1994
Broussard, J.D. | Peterson, M.E.
The absorption kinetics and glycemic effects of 3 long-acting insulin preparations (protamine zinc beef-pork insulin, ultralente beef-pork insulin, and ultralente human insulin) were evaluated in 9 healthy, adult, domestic shorthair cats (6 males, 3 females). A triple crossover study was performed, in which the serial serum concentrations of insulin and glucose were determined over a 24-hour period after sc administration of the 3 insulin preparations (dosage, 1.0 U/kg of body weight) at 3-week intervals. A control study was also performed in 4 of the cats by serially collecting samples for insulin and glucose determinations after administration of insulin diluent. After administration of protamine zinc insulin (PZI), mean (+/- SEM) serum insulin concentration increased significantly (P < 0.05) above baseline, reached a peak value (484 +/- 287 pmol/L) at 1 hour, and remained significantly (P < 0.05) higher than baseline at 24 hours. After administration of ultralente human insulin, the serum insulin curve was similar to that obtained after PZI administration, but mean serum insulin concentration took longer to peak (538 +/- 177 pmol/L at 4 hours). After administration of ultralente beef-pork insulin, mean peak serum insulin concentration was lower (220 +/- 54 pmol/L, not statistically significant) than that obtained after administration of PZI and ultralente human insulins; it then decreased to values statistically indistinguishable from baseline by 16 hours. The area under the serum insulin concentration curve for PZI (5,063 +/- 681 pmol.h/L) and ultralente human insulin (4,138 +/- 439 pmol.h/L) was significantly (P < 0.05) larger than that for ultralente beef-pork insulin (2,378 +/- 561 pmol.h/L). Serum glucose concentration decreased after administration of all 3 insulins, but the decrease was not different from that observed after diluent (control) administration. Results of this study indicate that differences may exist between absorption of PZI, ultralente human, and ultralente beef-pork insulins. Of the 2 ultralente insulin preparations, human insulin appears better absorbed than beef-pork insulin, but these findings need to be confirmed in cats with naturally acquired diabetes mellitus.

1994
Vainio, O.M. | Bloor, B.C.
Dexmedetomidine (Dex), an alpha 2-receptor agonist, is the pharmacologically active d-isomer of medetomidine, a compound used as a sedative in veterinary medicine. Isoflurane anesthetic requirement (minimum alveolar concentration; MAC), rectal temperature, and cardiorespiratory variables were studied in chronically instrumented Yucatan miniature swine during DEX (20 micrograms/kg of body weight)-induced changes in body temperature. All studies were performed at room temperature of 22 C. The DEX was given as a 2-minute infusion into the left atrium. Each pig was studied twice. For protocol 1, the core temperature of the pigs was maintained at (mean +/- SD) 38.2 +/- 0.5 C by use of a thermostatically controlled water blanket and a heating lamp. For protocol 2, the core temperature was not externally manipulated and it decreased from 38.2 +/- 0.4 C to 32.2 +/- 1.2 C during the more than 3 hours of the protocol. Control isoflurane MAC was 1.66 +/- 0.2% and was 1.74 +/- 0.3% for protocols 1 and 2, respectively; DEX decreased MAC by 34 and 44%, respectively. For protocol 1, reduction in MAC after DEX administration returned by 50 and 80% at 84 and 138 minutes, respectively. If rectal temperature was not maintained (eg, allowed to decrease), MAC was reduced by 57% at the same time as the return to 80% in the swine with maintained body temperature. Respiratory rate and minute ventilation were significantly higher in swine with maintained temperature. The PaCO2 was lower and, accordingly, pH was higher in these swine. Blood pressure and heart rate were not affected by temperature changes.

1994
Arrington, K.A. | Legendre, A.M. | Tabeling, G.S. | Frazier, D.L.
Pharmacokinetics and toxicity of a single dose of doxorubicin, at dosages of 30 mg/m2 of body surface area and 1 mg/kg of body weight, were compared in 17 dogs. Effects of doxorubicin on complete blood cell count, platelet count, and the dogs' clinical condition were evaluated for 14 days. Cluster analysis, on the basis of clinical signs of doxorubicin toxicosis at the 30-mg/m2 dosage, revealed that 6 of 7 small dogs (less than or equal to 10 kg) became ill, whereas 7 of 10 large dogs (> 10 kg) remained clinically normal. Small dogs that received doxorubicin at a dosage of 30 mg/m2 had higher peak plasma concentrations, greater area under the curve for plasma drug concentration vs time, longer drug elimination half-lives, greater volumes of distribution, and more clinical signs of toxicosis than had large dogs (P less than or equal to 0.05). Five of 9 small dogs that received doxorubicin at a dosage of 30 mg/m2 developed severe myelosuppression (< 1 X 103 granulocytes/microliter). In contrast to the toxicoses with body surface area-based dosing, myelosuppression was not induced in small dogs that received doxorubicin at a dosage of 1 mg/kg. In small and large dogs given doxorubicin at a dosage of 1 mg/kg, pharmacokinetic characteristics and clinical signs of toxicosis were similar. Mean WBC counts and granulocyte counts for all dogs were lower on day 7 with 30 mg of doxorubicin/ m2 (n = 17), compared with that for 1 mg of doxorubicin/kg (n = 14; P S 0.01). This study indicated that a body weight-based (milligram per kilogram) dosing regimen may result in more uniform therapeutic and toxic responses in dogs. Limited toxicosis was observed in dogs weighing > 10 kg treated with doxorubicin with either dosing scheme; however, differences in pharmacokinetic profiles suggested that 1 mg/kg may be an inappropriately low dosage.

1994
Boothe, D.M. | Cullen, J.M. | Calvin, J.A. | Jenkins, W.L. | Brown, S.A. | Green, R.A. | Corrier, D.E.
Dispositions of caffeine and antipyrine were compared as indicators of decreasing hepatic function in dogs with experimentally induced progressive liver disease. Dimethylnitrosamine, a hepatospecific toxin, was administered orally to 16 dogs; 6 dogs served as controls (group 1). Three classes of liver disease were defined by histologic features: mild (group 2; n = 5), moderate (group 3; n = 6), and severe (group 4; n = 5). Disposition of antipyrine, and 24 hours later, caffeine was studied 3 weeks after the last dose of toxin in each dog. For both drugs, rapid IV administration of 20 mg/kg of body weight was administered and serum samples were obtained at intervals for determination of at least 5 terminal-phase drug half-lives. For both drugs, clearance and mean residence time differed among groups (P less than or equal to 0.01). Clearance of antipyrine and caffeine was decreased in groups 3 and 4, compared with groups 1 and 2. Antipyrine and caffeine mean residence times were longer in group-3 dogs, compared with dogs of groups 1 and 2. Correction of caffeine and antipyrine clearances for hepatic weight increased discrimination between groups 3 and 4. The clearance and mean residence time ratios of antipyrine to caffeine were calculated for each group and, when compared with values for group-1 dogs, were used to test for differences between the 2 drugs in response to disease. Ratios did not differ among groups. These results indicate that the disposition of antipyrine and caffeine may change similarly with progression of dimethylnitrosamine-induced liver disease.
