Abstract: The single-dose pharmacokinetics of ibafloxacin was studied
in clinically normal chickens after intravenous and intramuscular administration
of 7.5 mg of ibafloxacin kg‾1 of body weight. Ibafloxacin concentrations
were determined by Microbiological assay method. The distribution and elimination
half-lives were 0.261 and 5.87 h, respectively. Steady-state volume of distribution
and clearance of ibafloxacin after intravenous administration were 4.09 L kg‾1
and 0.519 L kg‾1 h‾1, respectively. Following
intramuscular administration, ibafloxacin achieved maximum plasma concentration
of 1.06 μg mL‾1 achieved after maximum time of 1.3 h post-injection.
The systemic bioavailability after intramuscular injection was 79.6% and the
extent of serum protein binding was 27.04%. Ibafloxacin could be useful in the
treatment of systemic infections in chickens after specific assessment of susceptible
microorganisms.
