Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Interspecies differences in systemic drug availability following subscutaneous pulsatile administration in cattle, sheep, dogs, and rats Beteiligte: Leppert, Paula S.; Cammack, Leilani; Cargill, Robyn; Coffman, Lori; Cortese, Margot; Engle, Karen; Krupco, Colette; Fix, Joseph A. Erschienen: Wiley, 1994 Erschienen in: Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/jbm.820280608 ISSN: 0021-9304; 1097-4636 Schlagwörter: Biomedical Engineering ; Biomaterials Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Rats, dogs, sheep, and cattle were implanted subcutaneously with stainless‐steel tissue cages. Bolus injections of cefoxitin and ivermectin were administered to the interiors of the tissue cages 11, 32, and 60 days after implantation to simulate pulsatile drug release from an implanted device. Plasma drug levels were determined for 6 h for cefoxitin and up to 8 days for ivermectin. Tissue cages were retrieved 3 and 6 months after implantation for macroscopic and microscopic examination. In dogs and rats, plasma levels of both drugs following administrations to the tissue cages were significantly lower than those following subcutaneous injection, suggesting that the tissue growth around and in the cages posed a barrier to systemic drug availability in those species. In cattle and sheep, the tissue cages and associated tissue did not inhibit systemic availability of either drug as compared with routine subcutaneous administration. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.</jats:p>
