Pharmacokinetics of ticarcillin in the horse after intravenous and intramuscular administration. 1984

C R Sweeney, and L R Soma, and J Beech, and V Reef, and R Simmons

Serum and peritoneal fluid concentrations of ticarcillin were measured in 10 healthy adult horses from 0.5 to 8 hours after IV or IM administration of 44 mg/kg of body weight. After IV injection, the serum concentration at 30 minutes was 104.3 +/- 6.1 mg/L and the mean peak peritoneal fluid concentration (61.4 +/- 29.0 mg/L) occurred 2 hours after injection. The peak serum (28.3 +/- 5.5 mg/L) and the peak peritoneal fluid concentrations (19.2 +/- 6.0 mg/L) occurred 2 hours after the IM injection. Ticarcillin (greater than or equal to 2 mg/L) persisted in serum and peritoneal fluid for 6 hours after IV injection and 8 hours after IM injection. The half-life of ticarcillin was 0.94 hour after IV injection and the bioavailability of ticarcillin administered IM was 64.9%.

D010406 Penicillins A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.
