Popis: | A tulathromycin concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters in plasma and lung tissue from healthy pigs and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App)-infected pigs were compared. Tulathromycin was administered intramuscularly (i.m.) to all pigs at a single dose of 2.5 mg/kg. Blood and lung tissue samples were collected during 33 days postdrug application. Tulathromycin concentration in plasma and lung was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) in healthy pigs was 586 ± 71 ng/mL, reached by 0.5 h, while the mean value for Cmax of tulathromycin in infected pigs was 386 ± 97 ng/mL after 0.5 h. The mean maximum tulathromycin concentration in lung of healthy group was calculated as 3412 ± 748 ng/g, detected at 12 h, while in pigs with App, the highest concentration in lung was 3337 ± 937 ng/g, determined at 48 h postdosing. The higher plasma and lung concentrations in pigs with no pulmonary inflammation were observed at the first time points sampling after tulathromycin administration, but slower elimination with elimination half-life t1/2el = 126 h in plasma and t1/2el = 165 h in lung, as well as longer drug persistent in infected pigs, was found. |
