Apply a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model to Promote the Development of Enrofloxacin Granules: Predict Withdrawal Interval and Toxicity Dose.

ABSTRACT: Enrofloxacin (ENR) granules were developed to prevent and control the infections caused by foodborne zoonotic intestinal pathogens in our previous studies. To promote the further development of ENR granules and standardize their usage in pigs, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of the ENR granule in pigs was built to determine the withdrawal time (WT) and evaluate the toxicity to pigs. Meanwhile, the population WT was determined by a Monte Carlo analysis to guarantee pork safety. The fitting results of the model showed that the tissue residual concentrations of ENR, ciprofloxacin, and ENR plus ciprofloxacin were all well predicted by the built PBPK model (R2 > 0.82). When comparing with the EMA's WT1.4 software method, the final WT (6 d) of the ENR granules in the population of pigs was well predicted. Moreover, by combining the cytotoxicity concentration (225.9 µg/mL) of ENR against pig hepatocytes, the orally safe dosage range (≤130 mg/kg b.w.) of the ENR granules to pigs was calculated based on the validated PBPK model. The well-predicted WTs and a few uses in animals proved that the PBPK model is a potential tool for promoting the judicious use of antimicrobial agents and evaluating the toxicity of the veterinary antimicrobial products.

Project description:Zoonotic intestinal pathogens threaten human health and cause huge economic losses in farming. Enrofloxacin (ENR) shows high antibacterial activity against common intestinal bacteria. However, its poor palatability and low aqueous solubility limit the clinical application of ENR. To obtain an ENR oral preparation with good palatability and high solubility, a granule containing an amorphous ENR solid dispersion (ENR-SD) was prepared. Meanwhile, a PBPK model of ENR in pigs was built based on the physiological parameters of pigs and the chemical-specific parameters of ENR to simulate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ENR-SD granules in the intestinal contents. According to the results of parameter sensitivity analysis (PSA) and the predicted PK parameters at different doses of the model, formulation strategies and potential dose regimens against common intestinal infections were provided. The DSC and XRD results showed that no specific interactions existed between the excipients and ENR during the compatibility tests, and ENR presented as an amorphous form in ENR-SD. Based on the similar PK performance of ENR-SD granules and the commercial ENR soluble powder suggesting continued enhancement of the solubility of ENR, a higher drug concentration in intestinal contents could not be obtained. Therefore, a 1:5 ratio of ENR and stearic acid possessing a saturated aqueous solubility of 1190 ± 7.71 µg/mL was selected. The predictive AUC24h/MIC90 ratios against Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli were 133, 266 and 8520 (>100), respectively, suggesting that satisfactory efficacy against common intestinal infections would be achieved at a dose of 10 mg/kg b.w. once daily. The PSA results indicated that the intestinal absorption rate constant (Ka) was negatively correlated with the Cmax of ENR in the intestine, suggesting that we could obtain higher intestinal Cmax using P-gp inducers to reduce Ka, thus obtaining a higher Cmax. Our studies suggested that the PBPK model is an excellent tool for formulation and dose design.
