Abstract
Praziquantel (PZQ) is administered as a racemic mixture during swine production to treat parasitic diseases. Despite its widespread application, the pharmacokinetics, residue depletion, bioactivity, and toxicity of PZQ enantiomers in swine remain largely unknown. In this study, a systematic investigation of the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and residue depletion of PZQ, its major metabolites (trans- and cis-4-OH-PZQ), and their enantiomers was conducted in swine. The findings indicated that PZQ was absorbed and metabolized rapidly. In swine plasma, the concentrations of S-PZQ, S-trans-4-OH-PZQ, and R-cis-4-OH-PZQ were higher than those of their respective enantiomers. The three analytes exhibited significant tissue distribution and stereoselectivity in 10 swine tissues. Notably, the two enantiomers of PZQ demonstrated comparable tissue concentrations except in the liver and lung. Moreover, the concentrations of S-trans-4-OH-PZQ and R-cis-4-OH-PZQ were higher than those of their respective enantiomers in the 10 tissues. This study has significant implications for the development of rational dosing strategies, reducing drug usage, and minimizing side effects, as well as accurately assessing the risks associated with PZQ administration and, by extension, other chiral drugs. Furthermore, it lays a theoretical foundation for the future use of the active enantiomer, R-PZQ.

Abstract
Praziquantel (PZQ) is a pyrazino-isoquinoline compound with broad spectrum of activity against parasitic trematodes and cestodes, and a key veterinary drug in the parasitic disease control field. However, PZQ residues caused by non-conforming or excessive use in food-producing animals may pose a serious threat to human health. Herein, a simple, sensitive and reproducible LC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of praziquantel and trans- and cis-4-hydroxypraziquantel in black goat tissues to guide the reasonable use of PZQ. The mean recoveries for three target analytes were 71.2 ∼ 117.6%, and the limits of quantification were 1.0 μg/kg. Twenty-five healthy black goats were administered a single dose of praziquantel tablets at a dose of 35 mg/kg of body weight for residue elimination study, The results revealed that praziquantel and 4-hydroxypraziquantel were rapidly depleted in goat tissues and the elimination half-lives did not exceed 1 day in all tissues except for muscle and lung. It provides guidance for the establishment of maximum residue limit of praziquantel in goat.

Effect of intramolecular disulfide bond of bovine lactoferricin on its molecular structure and antibacterial activity against Trueperella pyogenes separated from cow milk with mastitis. BMC Vet Res 2020; 16:401. [PMID: 33097042 PMCID: PMC7585202 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-020-02620-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Lactoferricin (Lfcin) is an antimicrobial activity center of lactoferrin, produced by hydrolysis from the N-terminal of lactoferrin. It was hypothesized that the intramolecular disulfide bond in Lfcin could affect its antibacterial function through influencing its molecular structure. To prove this hypothesis, bovine Lfcin (bLfcin) and its two derivatives, bLfcin with an intramolecular disulfate bond (bLfcin DB) and bLfcin with a mutation C36G (bLfcin C36G), were synthesized, purified, and identified. The circular dichroism spectra of the peptides were detected in solutions with different ionic and hydrophobic strength. The antibacterial activity of the peptides against Trueperella pyogenes, separated from cow milk with mastitis, were determined. Results The secondary structure of bLfcin DB showed more β-turn and less random coil than the other peptides in H2O, similar ratios of secondary structures with bLfcin and bLfcin C36G under ionic conditions, and close percentages of secondary structure with bLfcin under hydrophobic conditions. The synthetic peptides exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against T. pyogenes isolates, T. pyogenes ATCC 19,411, and E. coli ATCC 25,922. The antimicrobial activities of the three peptides were greater against T. pyogenes than against E. coli, and bLfcin DB exhibited higher antibacterial activity compared with its derivatives. Conclusions The intramolecular disulfide bond could change the molecular structure of bLfcin under alternative ionic strengths and hydrophobic effects, and the formation of the disulfide bond is beneficial to executing the antibacterial function of bLfcin.
