<p>The chemotherapeutics, sulfadiazine (SDA) and trimethoprim (TMP), are extensively used in a variety of animal species. In this study, a pharmacokinetic analysis was performed to compare the bioequivalence of a combined SDA and TMP product against existing licensed SDA and TMP formulations in broiler chickens. Three groups of 15 birds were administered a single dose of either the test formulation or a reference oral suspension. The plasma concentration of SDA and TMP were determined by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the maximal plasma concentration (C<sub>max</sub>), area under the curve (AUC), the peak time (T<sub>max</sub>), mean residence time (MRT) and elimination half-life (T<sub>1/2</sub>), were calculated for SDA. The combined formulation I and II reference suspension exhibited almost identical concentration-time curves, and ANOVA analyses of the pharmacokinetic parameters identified no significant differences between the reference preparations and the test one. Furthermore the AUC and C<sub>max</sub> values of the SDA active ingredient were not significantly different. The I formulation was bioequivalent with both II and III (80-125% and 70–143%, respectively, at the 90% confidence interval). In conclusion, the combined SDA and TMP product was bioequivalent with both existing commercially available SDA suspensions and can be used interchangeably in veterinary medical practice.</p>

ABSTRACT Over the past decade, the prevalence of infections involving methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has increased significantly. Tedizolid (TZD) demonstrates excellent activity against MRSA and a favorable safety profile. The pharmacokinetics of several antibiotics have been shown to be altered in CF patients. The purpose of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of tedizolid in this population. Eleven patients with CF were randomized to receive tedizolid phosphate at 200 mg orally or intravenously once daily for 3 doses with a minimum 2-day washout, followed by crossover to the remaining dosage form. Plasma and expectorated sputum were collected following the third dose of each dosage form for analysis. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using the maximum likelihood expectation maximization method, and the disposition of TZD was described by a two-compartment model. The sputum concentrations exceeded the unbound plasma concentrations with an estimated mean sputum-to-unbound plasma penetration ratio of 2.88 (coefficient of variation, 50.3%). The estimated population mean ± standard deviation of total clearance, central volume of distribution, and bioavailability were 9.72 ± 1.62 liters/h, 61.6 ± 6.94 liters, and 1.04 ± 0.232, respectively. The total clearance was higher in CF patients than in healthy volunteers; however, it was similar to published data for patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs). This study demonstrates that the oral bioavailability of tedizolid is excellent in patients with CF and that the plasma pharmacokinetics are similar to those reported for patients with cSSSIs.
