dc.description.abstractThe study was aimed to evaluate the effect of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin. It was aimed to study the effect of piperine co-administration and pre-treatment on the pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin in broiler chickens(Vencobb). Adult birds weighing around 2.0 kg were randomly assigned to their equal groups with 10 birds in each. The treatment protocol consisted of single oral dose of enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg b.wt) (group 1), single oral dose of piperine (15 mg/kg b.wt) followed by single oral dose of enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg b.wt) (group 2) and piperine (15 mg/kg b.wt) orally for ten days followed by enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg b.wt) on the 10th day (group 3). Blood samples were collected from either left (or) right tarsal vein at 0 (blank), 0.166, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h post dosing and plasma was separated for HPLC analysis. The plasma concentration-time data were analysed by non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis. There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in Cmax among the three groups. Elimination rate constant (β) observed in group 3 birds (0.044±0.0031/h) was significantly (p<0.05) lower when compared to group 1 (0.061±0.001 1/h) and 2 birds (0.066±0.001 1/h), which reflected the elimination half-life, t1/2 in group 3 (16.130±0.898 h), where significantly (p<0.05) higher value was observed when compared to groups 1 (11.437±0.248 h) and 2 (10.510±0.155 h). Tmax recorded in group 2 birds (7.600±0.267 h) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of group 1 (4.550±0.462 h). AUCs (AUC0-t and AUC0-∞) recorded in group 3 (56.551±2.035 µg/ml.h and 66.382±2.973 µg/ml.h) were significantly (p<0.05) high; implying more amount of drug was present for longer time in the body. The AUCs (AUC0-t and AUC0-∞) observed in group 2 (44.073±1.357 µg/ml.h and 46.294±1.457 µg/ml.h) were comparatively higher than group 1 (36.268±3.501 µg/ml.h and 38.104±3.637 µg/ml.h), indicating the effect of piperine in increasing the absorption over period of time. The area under first moment curve (AUMC) and mean resident time (MRT) recorded in group 3 (1711.716±140.298 µg/ml.h2 and 25.379±1.212 h) were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those recorded in groups 1 (654.193±65.964 µg/ml.h2 and 17.077±0.364 h) and 2 (808.749±38.688 µg/ml.h2 and 17.391±0.384 h). The increased values indicate that high concentration of enrofloxacin was present in the circulation for longer time in piperine pre-treated birds. The clearance observed in group 3 (0.154±0.008 L/kg/h) was significantly (p<0.05) lower when compared to group 2 (0.218±0.007 L/kg/h) and further the clearance of group 2 was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of group 1 (0.282±0.024 L/kg/h). It can be concluded from the study that enrofloxacin administered after pre- treatment with piperine has exhibited higher t1/2, AUC, AUMC, MRT values and lower clearance values. The increase in plasma concentration of enrofloxacin in birds pre-treated with piperine could be attributed to the ability of piperine to enhance the intestinal absorption, to inhibit the metabolism in liver and to inhibit P-glycoprotein mediated drug efflux of during intestinal absorption. The increased AUC and half-life and decreased elimination rate constant could be helpful in designing formulations, that can be used in the treatment of resistant infections.en_US
