Bioequivalence evaluation of two 5% ceftiofur hydrochloride sterile suspension in pigs.
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science 2018 November 2
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of 5% ceftiofur hydrochloride sterile suspension in two formulations, a test formulation (Saifukang 5% CEF, Hvsen) and a reference formulation (Excenel® RTU 5% CEF, Pfizer). Twenty-four healthy pigs were assigned to a two-period, two-treatment crossover parallel trial, and both formulations were administered at a single intramuscular dose of 5 mg/kg weight, with a 7-day washout period. Blood samples were collected consecutively for up to 144 hr after administration. The concentrations of ceftiofur- and desfuroylceftiofur-related metabolites in the plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, the major pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax , AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ ) were computed and compared via analysis of variance, with 90% confidence intervals. Bioequivalence evaluation of Tmax was statistically analyzed with the nonparametric test. The comparison values between test and reference formulation for AUC0-t , AUC0-∞ , Cmax , and Tmax were 376.7 ± 75.3 µg·hr/ml, 390.5 ± 78.6 µg·hr/ml, 385.9 ± 79.2 µg·hr/ml, 402.7 ± 80.4 µg·hr/ml, 34.6 ± 5.5 µg/ml, 36.1 ± 6.2 µg/ml, 1.27 ± 0.18 hr, and 1.26 ± 0.21 hr, respectively, and we observed no significant differences between the two formulations. The 90% CI values were within the recommended range of 80-125% (P>0.05), and the relative bioavailability of the test product was 96.47 ± 10.92% according to AUC0-t values. Based on our results, the two formulations exhibit comparable pharmacokinetic profiles, and the test product is bioequivalent to the reference formulation.
