Pharmacological properties

ATC vet classification code QJ01 – antibacterial veterinary drugs for systemic use. QJ01MA90 – Enrofloxacin.

Enrofloxacin belongs to the group of fluoroquinolones. It is effective against most pathogenic microorganisms: Mycoplasma spp., E. coli, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Bordetella spp., Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Proteus spp. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., Clostridium perfringens, Actinobacillus spp. and enterococci. Enrofloxacin has antimicrobial activity by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is a catalyst for DNA replication in the bacterial cell. Inhibition of DNA gyrase activity leads to functional disorders, blocking cell biosynthesis and death of the pathogen. Has a bactericidal effect, especially against microorganisms resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, tetracyclines,

In studies in dogs using enrofloxacin at a dose of 4.91 mg / kg body weight, the maximum plasma concentration of 1179.94 ± 260.83 ng / ml was reached after 1.57 ± 0.62 hours. The half-life is 3.78 hours.

Almost 40% of enrofloxacin administered orally to dogs is converted to ciprofloxacin. The maximum plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin reaches 491.99 ± 57.95 ng / mg. Tmax is 1.79 ± 2.6 hours The half-life is 5.10 hours.

Enrofloxacin enters the tissues rapidly. The concentration in tissues and tissue fluids is 2-3 times higher than the concentration in blood serum. High levels of enrofloxacin are observed in the lungs, liver, kidneys, skin, bones and lymphatic system. Enrofloxacin also enters the cerebrospinal fluid, intraocular fluid and the fetus of pregnant animals.

Enrofloxacin is excreted mainly in the urine.

Application
