Pharmacokinetics and body fluid and endometrial concentrations of cephapirin in mares.

Six healthy adult horse mares were each given a single injection of sodium cephapirin (20 mg/kg of body weight, IV), and serum cephapirin concentrations were measured serially over a 6-hour period. The mean elimination rate constant was 0.78 hour-1 and the elimination half-life was 0.92 hours. The apparent volume of distribution (at steady state) and the clearance of the drug were estimated at 0.17 L/kg and 598 ml/hour/kg, respectively. Each mare was then given 4 consecutive IM injections of sodium cephapirin (400 mg/ml) at a dosage level of 20 mg/kg. Cephapirin concentrations in serum, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, CSF, urine, and endometrium were measured serially. After IM administration, the highest mean serum concentration was 14.8 micrograms/ml 25 minutes after the 4th injection. The highest mean synovial and peritoneal concentrations were 4.6 micrograms/ml and 5.0 micrograms/ml, respectively, 2 hours after the 4th injection. The highest mean endometrial concentration was 2.2 micrograms/g 4 hours after the 4th injection. Mean urine concentrations reached 7,421 micrograms/ml. Cephapirin did not readily penetrate the CSF. When cephapirin was given IM at the same dose, but in a less concentrated solution (250 mg/ml), serum concentrations peaked at 25.0 micrograms/ml 20 minutes after injection, but the area under the serum concentration-time curve was not significantly different (P greater than 0.05). The bioavailability of the drug was greater than or equal to 95% after IM injection.
