[PMID: 37390554 PMCID: PMC10466232 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics of meloxicam in pigeons. Twenty-four 7-wk-old meat pigeons (Columba livia) were randomly divided into 3 groups (PO, IM, and IV) and given a single dose of 1 mg/kg body weight of meloxicam. Plasma samples were taken at predetermined times, which were then analyzed using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method and subjected to noncompartmental analysis using Phoenix software. Results indicated that meloxicam was absorbed effectively and quickly after PO and IM dosing. Peak concentrations (0.83 ± 0.21 and 1.59 ± 0.49 μg/mL) were achieved at 2 and 0.26 h, respectively, with mean absorption times of 2.56 ± 1.50 and 1.47 ± 0.89 h. Bioavailability was high at 86.31 ± 43.45% and 81.57 ± 52.58%, respectively, and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) was 5.33 ± 2.68 and 5.03 ± 3.26 h·µg/mL. After IV administration, the elimination was faster with a total body clearance (CL) of 188.75 ± 83.23 mL/h/kg, an elimination half-life (t1/2λz) of 1.76 ± 0.56 h, and a volume of distribution at steady-state (VSS) of 427.50 ± 188.43 mL/kg. Considering the lack of a precise analgesic threshold of meloxicam in pigeons and the notable differences in its analgesic threshold among various animal species, formulating a dosing regimen in pigeons presented a significant challenge. Based on the previous analgesic threshold (3.5 μg/mL) in parrots, a higher dose (e.g., 2 mg/kg) or shorter dosing interval (e.g., every 6 h) is recommended for treating pain in pigeons. Nonetheless, further pharmacodynamic research is required to verify these recommendations.

Farooq M, Khan AA. Evaluation of histo-toxicity of nimesulide in Black Kites (Milvus migrans): a pharmacodynamic study. BRAZ J BIOL 2023; 83:e271454. [PMID: 37222370 DOI: 10.1590/1519-6984.271454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The present experimental work was conducted to elucidate the toxicity of nimesulide at three different doses in black kites (Milvus migrans). M. migrans is one of the most common raptors near human habitations. The goal of the current investigation was to determine whether nimesulide is similarly hazardous to raptors as was diclofenac sodium and to investigate the acute oral toxicity of nimesulide in these birds. For this study, eight adult male black kites (M. migrans) were randomly divided into four groups. M. migrans in the control group (n = 02) were not treated with nimesulide. The other three groups were given nimesulide doses. The birds in the first (n = 02) were declared the control group. The second (n = 02), third (n = 02), and fourth groups were administered nimesulide at a low, medium, and high dose of 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg live body weight of bird/day, respectively, for 10 days. Nimesulide-addled birds became listless and despondent, then anorexic. The birds were standing there with their eyes closed and showing no signs of life. There was an increase in saliva production, a slowing of breathing, and dilated pupils. No clinical signs were observed in the control group. No mortality was seen in the control or treated groups. The control group did not show lesions of gout, but black kites intoxicated with nimesulide at 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg live body weight of bird/day showed inflammation, apoptosis, hemorrhage, necrosis, and leukocytic infiltration tissues of the liver, kidney, and heart of black kites (M. migrans) treated with different concentrations of nimesulide. The treated groups also showed apoptosis of myofibrils and hyperplasia. The hypertrophy, atrophy, fibrosis, necrosis of skeletal muscles and hemorrhage were prominent in the muscles of black kites (M. migrans) intoxicated with nimesulide. All observed histological alterations got worse in a dose-related way. There was no significant difference in AST, ALT, ALP, serum uric acid, but a significant difference was observed in the values of serum urea (p = 0.001) and serum creatinine (p = 0.019).

Poult Sci 2023; 102:102761. [PMID: 37270891 PMCID: PMC10258491 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used in an extra-label manner in commercial laying hens for the treatment of foot lesions, which are a common issue in this species. The present study aimed to determine the depletion profiles of meloxicam in eggs with multiple oral administration under 2 different dosing regimens and to further recommend reasonable withdrawal intervals (WDIs). Meloxicam (1 mg/kg) was administered orally to laying hens under 2 dosing schedules: 10 doses at 24-h intervals and 15 doses at 12-h intervals. Eggs were collected daily after the first dosing, and meloxicam concentrations in both yolk and white were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The weight ratio of white to yolk in the whole egg was 1.54 (the mean of 20 eggs with repeated tests), and this value combined with the meloxicam concentrations in white and yolk were used to calculate the drug concentrations in whole eggs. Meloxicam was quickly eliminated from egg white, and its concentrations could only be quantified at 2 time points during the elimination phase. The elimination half-lives in yolk and whole egg were 3.07 ± 1.00 and 2.98 ± 0.88 d, respectively, after 10 repeated doses. And the corresponding elimination half-lives were 2.30 ± 0.83 and 2.18 ± 0.67 d, respectively, after repeated 15 doses. Considering the time when meloxicam was not detectable in eggs with the time of ovum development and maturation, a withdrawal interval (WDI) was suggested as 17 d for both dosing schedules. The current results enriched the study on the residue of meloxicam in domestic Jing Hong laying hens and provided WDIs to help ensure animal-derived food safety.

J Vet Pharmacol Ther 2023; 46:119-124. [PMID: 36222372 DOI: 10.1111/jvp.13098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The current study aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics of danofloxacin in non-laying hens after a single oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) dose, both at 5 mg/kg body weight (BW). Eighteen 13-week-old healthy hens were equally and randomly divided into two groups. After both doses, blood samples (approximately 1 ml) were collected at different time points. Danofloxacin concentrations were quantified by a validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method followed by a non-compartmental analysis using the software of WinNonLin. The elimination half-lives (t1/2λz s) after PO and IV routes were determined as 8.15 ± 3.37 and 7.69 ± 3.40 h, respectively. After IV administration, danofloxacin had an initial concentration (C0 ) of 3.62 μg/ml, a volume of distribution at steady state (VSS ) of 3579.72 ± 454.29 ml/kg, and a total body clearance (Cl) of 0.49 ml/h/g. After PO administration, the absolute bioavailability and absorption half-life (t1/2ka ) were calculated as 100.99% ± 23.10% and 0.82 ± 0.58 h, respectively. Based on the calculated ratio values of AUC/MIC and Cmax /MIC, an oral dose of 5 mg/kg danofloxacin would be expected to successfully treat hens infected with strains with MIC values ≤0.1 μg/ml.
