Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin were determined following oral administration in 21 Asian house geckos (Hemidactylus frenatus) at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Changes in enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin plasma concentrations were quantified at regular intervals over 72 h (1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h). Samples were analysed by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the enrofloxacin pharmacokinetic data underwent a two-compartment analysis. Due to the limited ciprofloxacin plasma concentrations above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), the ciprofloxacin data underwent non-compartment analysis and the half-life was determined by the Lineweaver-Burke plot and analysis. The enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin mean half-lives (t½) were 0.95 h (α) / 24.36 h (β), and 11.06 h respectively, area under the curve (AUC0-24h) were 60.56 and 3.14 µg/mL*h, respectively, maximum concentrations (Cmax) were 12.31 and 0.24 µg/mL, respectively, and time required to reach the Cmax (Tmax) were 1 and 2 h respectively. Enrofloxacin was minimally converted to the active metabolite ciprofloxacin, with ciprofloxacin concentrations contributing only 4.91% of the total fluoroquinolone concentrations (AUC0-24h). Based on the pharmacokinetic indices when using susceptibility breakpoints when determined at mammalian body temperature it is predicted that single oral administration of enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg) would result in plasma concentrations effective against susceptible bacterial species inhibited by an enrofloxacin MIC ≤ 0.5 µg/mL in vitro, but additional studies will be required to determine its efficacy in vivo.
