Abstract
We investigated the effects of hepatic and renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin in Sprague-Dawley rats. Experimental hepatic and renal failure were induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCL(4)) and 5/6 nephrectomy, respectively. After intravenous dosing of enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg), plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin were measured using liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometry. There was no significant effect of hepatic impairment on enrofloxacin pharmacokinetics. However, renal impairment markedly prolonged elimination half life (t(1/2lambdaz)) of enrofloxacin (P < 0.05), comparing with respective control. Total body clearance (Cl(b)) and volume of distribution at steady state (V(ss)) were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) by renal impairment. In conclusion, these results suggested that renal impairment could affect the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin.Entities:
