Abstract
Amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic, is widely used for treatment of neonatal infections. Despite the unmet need in neonates, an adapted analytical method is still missing in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to develop and test an easy and credible high performance liquid chromatography–UV (HPLC–UV) method to determine amoxicillin in small volumes of human plasma and use it in routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of neonates. After a protein precipitation, amoxicillin for standards, quality control samples, and patient samples were separated by LC and measured by UV detection, and tinidazole was used as the internal standard. The calibration range was 0.50–20.0 μg/mL. Intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 4.7%. The acceptance criteria of accuracy (between 85–115%) were met in all cases. A plasma volume of 50 μL was required to achieve the limit of quantification of 0.50 μg/mL. Thus, a simple, rapid, and accurate HPLC–UV method has been developed to detect the concentration of amoxicillin in human plasma. This method was adapted to do TDM of amoxicillin in neonates.

Abstract
A highly selective and effective method was successfully developed using magnetic molecular imprinted polymers (MMIPs) as solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) to rapidly determine cephalexin (CFX) in complex animal-derived food. MMIPs were creatively synthesized via suspension polymerization using Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles as supporter, CFX as template, acrylamide (AM) as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker. The MMIPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The binding process fitted well with pseudo-second-order model with good selectivity. Scatchard plot analysis suggested that MMIPs have two types of binding sites with the Qmax of 24.18 mg g-1 and 40.25 mg g-1, respectively. And Langmuir model proved that the recognition sites were uniformly distributed in a monolayer on the surface of MMIPs. The methodological assessment showed good applicability of MMIPs with excellent recovery (85.5%-94.0%), precision (1.2%-2.4%), and stability (intra-day 1.3%-3.6%; inter-day 2.6%-4.3%) in determining CFX content. In addition, the linearity of the calibration curve was good in the range of 0.02-5.00 mg L-1, with a sensitive detection limit of 5.00 μg kg-1. The results above suggest that the obtained MMIPs exert good performance for separation of CFX in animal-derived food, and the proposed method is suitable for the reliable determination of CFX in complex samples.

Abstract
An ultra-fast liquid chromatographic method and two UV spectroscopic methods were developed for the determination of cephalexin monohydrate in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Isocratic separation was performed on an Enable C18G column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) using methanol:0.01 M TBAHS (50:50, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The PDA detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. The UV spectroscopic method was performed at 261 nm and at 256–266 nm for the AUC method using a phosphate buffer (pH=5.5). The linearity was observed over a concentration range of 1.0–120 μg/ml for UFLC and both of the UV spectroscopic methods (correlation coefficient=0.999). The developed methods were validated according to ICH guidelines. The relative standard deviation values for the intraday and interday precision studies were < 2%, and the accuracy was > 99% for all of the three methods. The developed methods were used successfully for the determination of cephalexin in dry syrup formulation.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin (AMX) were investigated in sheep following intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m) injection, comparing two different drug formulations, a conventional and a long-acting AMX-trihydrate suspension. For the i.m. application two different injections sites, the neck area and the hind limb were used to identify possible differences in the kinetic parameters related to the site of injection. A three-compartment open model could best describe AMX disposition after i.v. administration. Data analysis after i.m. administration of the conventional suspension at both injection sites revealed the occurrence of a flip-flop phenomenon, clearly indicating that absorption of AMX is the rate-limiting step of its overall disposition. A moderate effect of the injection site was observed with a tendency for the neck area to be advantageous, mainly in terms of rate rather than extent of absorption. Injection of the long-acting formulation led to a focal depot formation, thus yielding lower but remarkably prolonged serum AMX levels reflected in the respective terminal half-lives. The concentration-time profile of AMX after administration of the long-acting formulation was less affected by the injection site, but the low serum levels justify its use only in cases in which a high susceptibility of the involved bacterial population is confirmed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure effects of Escherichia coli O149:F4-induced diarrhea on water consumption and pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin after administration in drinking water. ANIMALS 24 recently weaned 24- to 28-day-old crossbred pigs. PROCEDURE 10 pigs were inoculated with E. coli O149:F4; all 10 pigs subsequently developed diarrhea. Pigs were medicated by administration of amoxicillin in the drinking water (0.75 mg/mL) for a 4-hour period on 2 consecutive days. Fourteen age-matched noninfected healthy pigs (control group) were medicated in a similar manner. Blood samples were obtained from both groups daily, and plasma concentrations of amoxicillin were analyzed by use of high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Diarrhea reduced the area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of amoxicillin on the first day of medication by 56% and 63%, respectively. The AUC of amoxicillin on the second day of medication for diarrheic pigs did not differ significantly from that of control pigs on the first day of medication. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE E. coli-induced diarrhea reduced the AUC of amoxicillin and time that plasma concentration of amoxicillin was > 0.025 microg/mL and, hence, less likely to have a therapeutic effect on the first day of administration in drinking water. On the assumption that plasma concentrations may indirectly reflect concentrations at the site of infection, analysis of our results suggests that higher doses of amoxicillin may be appropriate for administration in drinking water during a 4-hour period on the first day that pigs have diarrhea attributable to E. coli O149:F4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure the effect of Escherichia coli subtype O149:F4-induced diarrhea on the pharmacokinetics of orally administered amoxicillin in affected piglets relative to that of uninfected piglets. ANIMALS 22 healthy 4-week-old recently weaned Danish crossbred piglets. PROCEDURE 12 piglets were orally inoculated through gastric intubation with 10(9) CFUs of an E. coli O149:F4 strain and responded by developing diarrhea 12 to 16 hours later. Piglets were dosed with amoxicillin trihydrate solution (20 mg/kg) by gastric intubation. A control group of 10 age-matched piglets without signs of diarrhea was dosed similarly. Blood samples were obtained before amoxicillin administration and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after amoxicillin administration. The plasma concentration of amoxicillin was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS A significant 39% decrease in the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve of amoxicillin was observed in piglets with diarrhea relative to that of control piglets. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was significantly (52%) lower in piglets with diarrhea, compared with control piglets, while the elimination rate constant, time to reach Cmax, and elimination half-life were unchanged. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Escherichia coli-induced diarrhea may decrease systemic bioavailability of amoxicillin. Escherichia coli bacteria attach to the intestinal epithelial cells. Because it is assumed that the concentration of the antimicrobial at the site of infection reflects the systemic concentration, higher doses of amoxicillin in the treatment of piglets with E. coli O149:F4-induced diarrhea may be appropriate.

Abstract
Six pigs were used in a two-period crossover study to investigate the pharmacokinetics of amoxycillin after single intravenous and oral doses of 20 mg/kg bodyweight. Twelve pigs were used to study the residues of the drug in muscle, kidney, liver and fat after they had received daily oral doses of 20 mg/kg amoxycillin for five days. The mean (sd) elimination half life (t1/2beta) and mean residence time of amoxycillin in plasma were 3.38 (0.30) and 3.54 (0.43) hours, respectively, after intravenous administration and 4.13 (0.50) and 4.47 (0.30) hours, respectively, after oral administration. After oral administration, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 7.37 (0.42) microg/ml and it was reached after 0.97 (0.29) hours. Six days after the last oral dose, the mean concentration of amoxycillin in the pigs' kidneys was 21.38 ng/g and in the liver it was 12.32 ng/g, but no amoxycillin could be detected in fat or muscle; the concentrations of amoxycillin in edible tissues were less than the European Union maximal residue limit of 50 microg/kg.

Abstract
A rapid, selective and sensitive HPLC assay has been developed for the routine analysis of amoxicillin in rat plasma, gastric juice aspirate and gastric tissue which is applicable to low concentrations of amoxicillin (<1 microg mL(-1)) or small sample volumes. Amoxicillin was converted, via an internal rearrangement, to form a fluorescent product which was subsequently recovered using liquid-liquid extraction. A Kromasil ODS 3 microm (150 x 3.2 mm I.D.) column was maintained at 40 degrees C and used with a mobile phase consisting of methanol-water (55:45, v/v). Fluorimetric detection was at an lambda(ex) of 365 nm and an lambda(em) of 445 nm. The limits of quantitation for amoxicillin were 0.1 microg mL(-1) for gastric juice aspirate (500 microL), 0.5 microg mL(-1) for plasma (50 microL) and 0.075 microg g(-1) for gastric tissue (250 mg). The method was linear up to at least 15 microg mL(-1) in gastric juice aspirate, up to 200 microg mL(-1) in plasma and up to 100 microg g(-1) in gastric tissue, with inter- and intra-day RSDs being less than 19%. The assay has been applied to the measurement of amoxicillin in rat plasma, gastric juice aspirate and gastric tissue for pharmacokinetic studies in individual rats.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection after precolumn fluorescamine derivation was developed to detect residues of two aminopenicillins, amoxicillin (AMPC) and ampicillin (ABPC), in bovine serum. Proteins in serum samples spiked with each of these penicillins were precipitated with sodium tungstate and sulfuric acid, centrifuged, and removed by passage through a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge. After precolumn treatment of the extraction products of AMPC and ABPC with fluorescamine solution, HPLC analysis with fluorescence spectrophotometric detection at an excitation wavelength of 390 nm and an emission wavelength of 485 nm was performed to identify these products. Two mobile phases were used for residual analysis by the isocratic HPLC system. An ODP column (polyvinyl alcohol bonded with an octadecyl functional group) that can be used with strongly alkaline mobile phases (pH 2.0 to 13) was selected, and the column temperature was set at 40 degrees C. A mobile phase comprising 100-mM K2HPO4 solution and acetonitrile (72:28, vol/vol), which yielded AMPC and ABPC retention times of 4.1 and 7.9 min, respectively, was suitable for detection of residual ABPC but not for residual AMPC because interference was caused by peaks of other extracted substances. When a mobile phase comprising a different ratio of 100-mM K2HPO4 solution and acetonitrile (78:22, vol/vol) was used, the retention times of AMPC and ABPC were 7.3 and 26.3 min, respectively, and both penicillins could be analyzed using this system. The calculated standard curves of the reaction products with both mobile phases were linear, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.999. The lower limit of detection was 10 ng/ml for both penicillins. Analysis of extracts from bovine serum spiked with AMPC and ABPC at a concentration of 1 microg/ml yielded recovery rates of 102.2 +/- 5.5% and 79.0 +/- 5.2%, respectively. This detection method may be useful for routine laboratory testing of AMPC and ABPC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of amoxicillin in healthy and Salmonella Typhimurium-inoculated pigs. ANIMALS 12 healthy pigs and 12 S Typhimurium-inoculated pigs. PROCEDURE Concentration of amoxicillin in tissue was measured by use of high-performance liquid chromatography 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after IM administration. Pharmacokinetic values of amoxicillin in plasma were assessed by use of a 1-compartment model with first-order absorption. RESULTS Inoculation caused diarrhea and increased rectal temperature and WBC count. Absorption half-life was shorter in inoculated pigs (0.26 hours) than in healthy pigs (0.71 hours), and inoculated pigs had longer elimination half-life. Distribution ratios in healthy pigs ranged from 0.31 to 0.56 and in inoculated pigs ranged from 0.14 to 0.48. Ratios for distribution to intestinal mucosa ranged from 0.34 to 1.16 in healthy pigs and from 0.22 to 0.36 in inoculated pigs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Salmonella Typhimurium inoculation altered absorption of amoxicillin from the injection site and prolonged elimination half-life. However, distribution of amoxicillin to intestinal tract tissue was only affected to a minor degree.

Abstract
To circumvent the need for laborious sample clean-up and multiple blood sampling, a system was developed consisting of on-line microdialysis coupled to microbore liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection. The system was designed for the simultaneous and continuous monitoring of unbound blood and brain cephalexin in the rat following single bolus intravenous administrations (10 mg/kg, n = 6). Microdialysis probes were inserted into the jugular vein and brain striatum, respectively, for blood and brain sampling. Chromatographic conditions consisted of a mobile phase of methanol-100 mM monosodium phosphoric acid (20:80, v/v, pH 5.0) pumped through a microbore reversed-phase column at a flow-rate of 0.05 ml/min. Detection wavelength was set at 260 nm. The method was validated for response linearity as well as intra- and inter-day variabilities. Rapid appearance of cephalexin in the striatal dialysate suggested good blood-brain barrier penetration. This study provided pharmacokinetics information for cephalexin as well as demonstrated the applicability of this continuous sampling method for pharmacokinetics studies.

Abstract
A simple and reproducible method for the analysis of ampicillin in human serum was developed. Serum samples were extracted using solid-phase extraction disk cartridges containing a sorbent of styrene divinyl/benzene. Extracts were separated by reversed-phase C18 high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection at 220 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-10 mM NaH2PO4 (6.5:93.5, v/v). Using this extraction procedure, recovery from serum was 98.4+/-5.6%. The quantitation limit was 0.19 microg/ml using 0.5 ml of serum. The calibration curves from 0.19 to 9.41 microg/ml were linear with correlation coefficients of 0.999. This method is suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring of ampicillin (ABPC) after oral administration of lenampicillin hydrochloride.

Abstract
The first antibiotic discovered, penicillin, appeared on the market just after the Second World War. Intensive research in subsequent years led to the discovery and development of cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines and rifamycin. The chemotherapeutic quinolones and the more recently discovered fluoroquinolones have added promising new therapeutic weapons to fight the microbial challenge. The major role pharmacokinetics has played in developing these compounds should be highlighted. Plasma concentration-time profiles and the therapeutic activity evoked by these compounds allow the therapeutic window, doses and dose turnovers to be appropriately defined as well as possible dose adjustment to be made in renal failure. The pharmacokinetics of antimicrobial agents were initially explored by using microbiological methods, but these lack specificity. The HPLC technique with UV, fluorometric, electrochemical and, in some cases, mass spectrometry detection has satisfactory solved the problem of antimicrobial agent assay for pharmacokinetic, bioavailability and bioequivalence purposes alike. Indeed, in these studies, plasma concentrations of the given analyte must be followed up for a period > or = 3 times the half-life, which calls for specific sensitive assays. In the review, the authors have described the analytical methods employed in the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics, including some chemotherapeutic agents which are used in medical practice as alternatives to antibiotics. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of each class of drugs are also briefly described, and some historical and chemical notes on the various classes are given.

Abstract
A high selective, sensitive and fast HPLC method developed for the determination in human serum and plasma. After protein precipitation with perchloric acid, an aliquot of the supernatant was neutralized by mixing it with sodium acetate solution and injected into a C18 HPLC column. Detection was done by a fluorescence detector after on-line postcolumn derivatisation with fluorescamine. The practical limit of quantification was 0.1 microgram/ml using 0.3 ml of plasma. Linearity was given in the tested range of 0.1 to 15 micrograms/ml plasma. Inter-day precision (relative standard deviation) over 7 days for 0.42 micrograms/ml was +/- 7.27%; for 4.54 micrograms/ml, +/- 5.24% and for 13.18 micrograms/ml, +/- 5.25%. Stability over 50 days in serum and plasma occurs at -70 degrees C but not at -20 degrees C (-25 to -35% reduction). This method was used for thousands of human serum and plasma samples.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatographic methods have been developed for the determination of piperacillin and mezlocillin in human serum and urine samples. The methods involve ultrafiltration of samples followed by reaction with 1.5 M 1, 2, 4-triazole and 0.5 x 10(-3) M mercury (II) chloride in solution (pH 8.50) at 50 degrees C for 15 min. The resulting products were separated on a C18 column following stabilisation in an eluent containing sodium thiosulphate. They were detected at 323 nm for both penicillins. The methods have been applied to assays applied to assays of these penicillins in human serum and urine samples. The procedures, which permit the determination of penicillin concentration down to 0.1 microgram m1-1 in serum and 1 microgram m1-1 in urine samples, are specific to intact penicillins without interference from corresponding penicilloates [see J. Haginaka et al., Anal. Sci. 1 (1985) 73]. At concentrations of 1-500 micrograms ml-1 for each compound, the within- and between-day precisions were 1.8-4.8 and 3.7-6.9, respectively. The accuracy was ca. 100% for all samples assayed.

Abstract
A swine herd, consisting of 201 swine, was treated with amoxycillin. Amoxycillin was administered in the water system for 5 days, at a mean dose of 23 mg/kg body weight per day. Twice a day the water consumption was monitored, and blood samples collected from 10 randomly selected pigs. The plasma concentration of amoxycillin was measured by use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Three days after initiating amoxycillin treatment, the plasma concentration reached a constant level, at which it varied between a maximum of 1.3 micrograms/mL and a minimum of 0.5 microgram/mL. The plasma concentration was compared with a predicted curve based on pharmacokinetic variables obtained previously. The plasma concentrations were at the same level as the simulated ones. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the common respiratory pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida are about 0.1 microgram/mL. In pigs the distribution between bronchial mucosa and plasma (AUCmucosa/AUCplasma) is 0.3, which indicates a therapeutic plasma concentration of 0.3 microgram/mL. Data from the present study indicates that water medication with amoxycillin is effective as follow-up treatment.

Abstract
The goal of this investigation was to develop an oral sustained-release formulation for amoxicillin that would maximize the duration of active drug concentration in the extracellular fluid, thus increasing the dosing interval while assuring antimicrobial activity. This rationale is based on the pharmacodynamic properties of the drug which is non- concentration dependent on the one hand, while requiring long exposure of the pathogen to the drug with minimal post-antibiotic effect on the other. Due to pharmacokinetic constraints, including short biological half-life and limited 'absorption window' (confined to the small intestine) with poor colonic absorption, the new matrix tablet formulation, composed of hydrophilic (hydroxypropyl methyl-cellulose) polymer, was designed to release 50% of its contents within the first 3 h and to complete the drug release process over 8 h (under in vitro conditions). The pharmacokinetics of the new formulation was evaluated in 12 healthy volunteers and compared to a conventional gelatin capsule with both formulations containing 500 mg amoxicillin. The plasma concentrations of active amoxicillin and penicilloic acid were determined by an HPLC method with a fluorometric detector. It was found that the area under the concentration-time curve and maximal serum amoxicillin concentrations following the sustained release preparation were lower than the immediate release formulation. However, the time over the required threshold concentrations, i.e. the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) as well as the more clinically relevant parameter--four times MIC of the drug against susceptible pathogens, was found to be maintained for significantly longer periods. The results suggest that in order to achieve a twice daily dosing regimen that will provide therapeutic concentrations for the whole 12 h dosing intervals, a larger dose of the new formulation should be given (e.g. 750 mg or even 1 g twice daily). This recommendation is based on the large interindividual differences of the extent of amoxicillin absorption found in this investigation, and is intended to assure that the 'poor' absorbers will also benefit from full antibiotic efficacy. This dosing regimen will lead to increased patient compliance and improved therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic properties of amoxycillin, and its penetration into respiratory tract tissues (alveolar macrophages, bronchial secretions, bronchial mucosa, lung tissue and lymph nodes), were determined in 20 healthy female pigs weighing 29 to 55 kg, after a single intravenous dose of 8.6 mg kg(-1) bodyweight. Following intravenous administration the plasma concentration-time curves were best described by a three-compartment open model. The elimination half-life and the mean residence time were 2.5 and 1.4 hours, respectively. The volume of distribution at steady state was 0.52 litres kg(-1), and the body clearance was 0.40 litres hour(-1) kg(-1). In all structures (except alveolar macrophages) amoxycillin concentration peaked at the first sampling point, one hour after drug administration. The tissue to plasma ratio (based on AUC values) were 0.33 for bronchial secretions, 0.37 for bronchial mucosa, 0.39 for lung tissue and 0.68 for lymph nodes. Traces of amoxycillin were found in alveolar macrophages, but the concentrations were below the limit of quantification. The concentration of amoxycillin in secretions and tissue decreased by a slower rate than the concentration in plasma, resulting in increasing secretion- and tissue-to-plasma concentration ratios.

Abstract
The pharmokinetic properties of amoxycillin, and its penetration into respiratory tract tissue, were determined in 18 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infected pigs, after a single i.v. dose of 8.6 mg amoxycillin kg(-1) bodyweight. Pleuropneumoniae was produced experimentally in pigs by an aerosol infection model. The infection created a homogeneous response, characterised by depression of breathing and increased body temperature. The clinical symptoms were accompanied by increased haptoglobin levels and circulating white blood cell counts. At necropsy the findings were characterised by a bilateral fibrinous pleuropneumonia. Twenty hours after infection, the pigs were administered amoxycillin i.v. The plasma concentration-time curve was described by a three compartment open model. The mean residence time and the elimination half-life were 1.5 and 3.4 hours, respectively. The steady-state volume of distribution was 0.67 litres kg(-1), and the clearance was 0.46 litres kg(-1) hour(-1). There were no significant differences between these values and those reported previously for healthy pigs. The concentration of amoxycillin in bronchial secretions, lung tissue and diseased lung tissue peaked two hours after intravenous drug administration, while amoxycillin concentration in pleural fluid, lymph nodes and tonsil tissue peaked at the first sampling point one hour after drug administration. The concentration of amoxycillin in secretions and tissue decreased by a slower rate than amoxycillin concentration in plasma, resulting in an increasing tissue-to-plasma concentration ratio. The distribution ratios (AUCtissue/AUCplasma) was 0.53 for bronchial secretions, 0.44 for pneumonic lung tissue, 0.42 for lung tissue, 1.04 for pleural fluid, 0.58 for lymph nodes and 0.37 for tonsil tissue. The distribution of amoxycillin to secretions was increased compared with that previously reported for healthy pigs, while only minor changes were observed in lung tissue.

Abstract
Amoxycillin was administered to pigs intravenously (i.v.), intramuscularly (i.m.) and orally (p.o.), in a cross-over design to examine the bioavailability (F) of various drug formulations. These included: a sodium salt for reconstitution in water and administration i.v.; trihydrate salt in an oil base for intramuscular administration producing 'conventional' duration of plasma concentrations; a trihydrate salt in oil base giving prolonged (LA) duration, and a trihydrate powder for oral administration in solution. The concentration of amoxycillin in plasma was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, and its pharmacokinetic variables were assessed for the individual pigs by use of noncompartmental methods. Following i.v. administration (8.6 mg/kg), amoxycillin was eliminated rapidly with a mean residence time (MRT) of 1.4 h. After i.m. administration of the conventional formulation (14.7 mg/kg), the plasma amoxycillin concentration peaked at 2 h at 5.1 micrograms/mL. The bioavailability was 0.83. Intramuscular administration (14.1 mg/kg) of the long acting formulation (i.m. LA), lead to two peaks in plasma at 1.3 and 6.6 h. The bioavailability was calculated to be 1.11. After p.o. administration to fasted pigs, peak concentration was reached after 1.9 h, and the bioavailability was 0.33. In fed pigs, the corresponding values were 3.6 h and 0.28. Data showed that treatment of respiratory tract diseases in pigs by p.o. dosing alone, may not be optimal, because of the relatively low bioavailability and the fact that infections often result in reduced feed and water consumption. A rational treatment regime for susceptible respiratory pathogens includes an initial i.m. injection, followed by p.o. dosing every 12 h. Alternatively, the long acting formulation may be administered i.m. in a dose of 15 mg/kg, which would lead to active plasma concentrations for approximately 48 h.

Abstract
The distribution of penicillins into a tissue chamber implanted subcutaneously in ponies was studied. Ampicillin sodium (equivalent to 15 mg/kg ampicillin) was administered intravenously. Pivampicillin, a prodrug of ampicillin, was administered by nasogastric tube to fed ponies at a dose of 19.9 mg/kg (equivalent to 15 mg/kg ampicillin). Procaine penicillin G was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 12 mg/kg (equivalent to 12000 IU/kg). Six ponies were used for each medication. Antibiotic concentrations in plasma and tissue chamber fluid (TCF) were measured for 24 h after administration. Mean peak concentrations of ampicillin in TCF were 7.3 micrograms/mL, reached at 1.7 h, and 1.3 micrograms/mL, reached at 2.7 h, after administration of ampicillin sodium and pivampicillin respectively. The mean peak concentration of penicillin G of 0.3 microgram/mL was reached 12.3 h after administration of procaine penicillin G. Concentrations in TCF remained above the minimum inhibitory concentration of Streptococcus zooepidemicus for the proposed dosing intervals of 8, 12 and 24 h for ampicillin sodium, pivampicillin and procaine penicillin G respectively.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective HPLC method was developed for the determination of amoxicillin in human plasma. After addition of buffer and internal standard, the sample was ultrafiltered and injected on to a precolumn to remove polar plasma interferences. Detection was effected with a UV detector set at 230 nm. The limit of quantification for amoxicillin was 50.1 ng/ml with an imprecision of 4.2% using 0.25 ml of plasma. Linearity was confirmed over the whole calibration range (25.4-0.0501 micrograms/ml) and the inter-day variation ranged from 2.0 to 4.5%. The method was validated according to GLP guidelines and its suitability was demonstrated by the analysis of several hundred samples in a bioequivalence study. The method can be used to determine pharmacokinetic parameters of amoxicillin in humans after a single oral dose of 500 mg.

Abstract
Two laboratories collaborated to examine the selectivity of four isocratic liquid chromatography (LC) methods for the separation of ampicillin and its related substances. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) assay method gave the best selectivity. Similar selectivity was obtained on C18 columns as well as on C8 and poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) copolymer columns. A resolution test using cefradine was proposed to replace the test with caffeine prescribed by the USP. Based on the USP method, a gradient LC method was developed for the analysis of related substances in ampicillin. This LC method has been proposed for assay and purity control in the ampicillin monographs of the European Pharmacopeia.

Abstract
A rabbit model for simultaneous investigation of the bioavailability, tissue residues and tissue tolerance of intramuscularly administered veterinary medicines is described. The bioavailability of ampicillin from two intramuscular products, which had been found to be different in calves, were compared in a two-way crossover design. The ampicillin levels in plasma, ampicillin residues in tissues, the plasma creatine kinase activity and the tissue damage at the injection sites were studied. The absolute bioavailabilities for the products were 100% and 40%. Differences in pharmacokinetics of ampicillin between sexes were observed after intravenous and intramuscular administration. Only slight tissue damage could be detected at the injection sites after intramuscular administration of these products. The results were compared with those obtained previously in calves and were found to be similar. Further investigations with other intramuscular drug products to validate this model are under way.

Abstract
A fully automated method is described for the determination of amoxicillin and cefadroxil in bovine serum and muscle tissue. The method is based on the on-line combination of dialysis and solid-phase extraction for sample preparation, and column liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. In order to enhance the UV detectability of the analytes, post-column addition of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide is performed. The method shows good linearity and repeatability for both analytes in serum as well as in muscle tissue; the limits of detection in these samples are 0.05 microgram/ml and 0.2 microgram/g, respectively. The method has a sample throughput of 30 samples per 24 h.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay method using precolumn derivatization and fluorescence detection has been developed and validated for the determination of ampicillin in serum. The presented method is simple and provides improved selectivity and sensitivity over other existing HPLC methods. It is linear over the concentration range of 100 to 10,000 ng/ml (method 1) and 2 to 1000 ng/ml (method 2) and the extraction recovery is more than 75%. The coefficient of variation is found to be less than 10% over the concentration ranges studied.

Abstract
A simple high performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection at 229 nm is described for quantitation of amoxycillin in plasma. After deproteination of plasma samples with perchloric acid and adjustment of the pH to 4.9, the supernatant was injected onto a reversed phase C18 column, using acetonitrile:phosphate buffer (0.01 M, pH 7.4) (1:25 v/v) as the mobile phase. Amoxycillin and the internal standard, cefadroxil, were eluted at 23 min and 12 min, respectively, without interference from endogenous substances. Processed samples were stable for at least 24 h at room temperature which permitted automated batch processing overnight. Calibration plots of the amoxycillin to cefadroxil peak-height ratio vs. amoxycillin concentration were linear (P < 0.0001; r > or = 0.995) from 0.25 mg/L to at least 16.0 mg/L. Between-day and within-day imprecision (CV) ranged between 3.7% and 17.7%. Absolute recovery for amoxycillin and cefadroxil exceeded 82%. The application was demonstrated by the analysis of amoxycillin in human plasma after a single oral dose of amoxycillin (250 mg) suspension.

Abstract
A determination method for the penicillin antibiotic aspoxicillin in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid has been developed, involving high-performance liquid chromatography and post-column photolysis. The method enabled the determination of aspoxicillin at concentrations below 100 ng/ml, with a linear calibration curve at concentrations of 1-1000 ng/ml for 100 microliters of lavage fluid. The detection limit was 1 ng/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1.

Abstract
Chromatographic methods for penicillin analysis in animal tissues play a significant role in the regulation of the use of these drugs in livestock production. Regulatory agencies rely on data generated from these methods to establish withdrawal times and to determine whether presumptive positive tissue samples from slaughtered animals intended for human consumption contain violative levels of penicillins to necessitate regulatory action. The need to develop sensitive, accurate, and reliable methods to support regulatory programs is examined together with emerging techniques that could be taken advantage of to improve the sensitivity and usefulness of current chromatographic methods for tomorrow's regulatory agency.

Abstract
We report a means of determining amoxicillin in bovine plasma by liquid chromatography with UV detection at 235 nm. Purification and concentration of extracts were accomplished by a tandem solid-phase extraction procedure with two reversed-phase columns. Separation of amoxicillin from interferences was improved by the incorporation of a crown ether in the solvent systems used both for the solid-phase extraction and the final high-pressure liquid chromatography. Cefadroxil was added as an internal standard. The average recovery of amoxicillin from plasma (n = 23) was 78.2 +/- 3.0%, and the within-run and between-run coefficients of variation ranged from 1.8 to 7.0%. The detection limit was estimated at 0.1 microgram/ml. This method was used to determine amoxicillin in bovine plasma after intramuscular administration of the drug.

Abstract
The determination of ampicillin in plasma and serum by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection suffers from poor selectivity and sensitivity. Currently, the most common approach to overcoming these problems consists of improving the compound's detectability via pre- or postcolumn derivatization. In the method that we describe, however, enhanced selectivity is afforded by sample purification by a tandem solid-phase extraction method (ion-exchange and reversed-phase). This approach permits detection at wavelengths of as low as 210 nm, which results in enhanced sensitivity (detection limit, 0.01 microgram/ml). A second factor that affects selectivity is the addition to the chromatographic eluent of a crown ether to optimize the separation between ampicillin and polar endogenous plasma constituents. This combination of improved sample pretreatment and a more selective chromatographic system in conjunction with internal standardization forms the basis of a new assay for the quantitation of ampicillin in plasma. The overall recovery of ampicillin was 76.4% +/- 4.9% (n = 24), and the within-run and between-run coefficients of variation ranged from 1.6 to 7.2%. The method was applied to pharmacokinetic studies in cows and dogs after intramuscular or oral administration of the drug.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of ampicillin in plasma and urine. The method involves a simple deproteinization step and separation on a coupled-column chromatographic system followed by post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection. The method has been used for the determination of ampicillin in various clinical studies. The high sensitivity makes it especially useful for small sample volumes, e.g. samples from pediatric patients.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, phenoxymethylpenicillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin and nafcillin in small samples of human serum. The chromatographic system involves the use of a Spherisorb ODS reversed phase column and a gradient elution with 1 mM ammonium acetate buffer/acetonitrile (from 90:10 to 75:25 in 15 min). Detection and quantification are monitored by UV absorption at 208 nm. The compounds are extracted with dichloromethane, using tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate neutralized with sodium hydroxide and buffered with borate as an ion pairing reagent; beta-hydroxyethyltheophylline is added as an internal standard. Our results show that the method is accurate and reproducible, allowing quantification of serum levels of assayed penicillins (0.5-50 micrograms/mL) without interference from other drugs commonly used in therapy. Recoveries were generally greater than 79.4%.

Abstract
Four cephalosporins, cefazolin, ceftizoxime, cefaloridine and cefaclor, were determined using a novel microbore high-performance liquid chromatographic system designed to be entirely compatible with direct liquid interfacing (DLI) for mass spectrometric analysis. The chromatographic support was a 5-micron C18 column of 0.3 mm I.D., compared with the usual microbore column diameters of 1-2 mm. The mobile phase contained no buffers or salts which may have caused column blocking or mobile phase crystallization, and the use of a concentration column allowed the injection of large volumes of analyte (up to 500 microliters). The assay was reproducible, the relative standard deviations being less than 20% within-day and between-day for all the drugs. The detection limit for cefaloridine and cefazolin was 1 ng and for cefaclor and ceftizoxime 5 ng.
