Pharmacological Action

Pharmacodynamics Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone broad-spectrum bactericidal drug for animal. The product has good effect against Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Brucella, Pasteurella, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Erysiphe graminis, Proteus marcescens, Serratia marcescens, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. The effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus, anaerobic bacteria was weak. The product has post antibiotic effects to sensitive bacteria. The antibacterial mechanism of this product is acting on the bacterial DNA cell gyrase, interfering with bacterial DNA replication, transcription and repair and recombination, the bacteria can not normal growth and reproduction and death.

Pharmacokinetics This product can be absorbed rapidly and completely by intramuscular injection, and the bioavailability of pigs and cows were 91.9%, 82%, respectively. Can be widely distributed in animal body, and can be into the organization and body fluid, in addition to cerebrospinal fluid. Nearly all tissues of drug concentrations were higher than plasma. Metabolism of the liver is mainly by removing ethyl group of the 7-piperazinyl ring to form ciprofloxacin, followed by oxidation and glucuronic acid binding. Mainly through the kidneys (renal tubular secretion and glomerular filtration) discharge, 15% to 50% of the prototype excreted by the urine. Half-life is quite different in different species of animals and different routes of administration, for intramuscular injection, the half-life in cow is 5.9 hours, 9.9 hours in horses, 1.5 to 4.5 hours in sheep, 4.6 hours in pigs.
