Old Antibiotics Can Learn New Ways: A Systematic Review of Florfenicol Use in Veterinary Medicine and Future Perspectives Using Nanotechnology. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13101695. [PMID: 37238125 DOI: 10.3390/ani13101695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic used exclusively in veterinary medicine in order to treat the pathology of farm and aquatic animals. It is a synthetic fluorinated analog of thiamphenicol and chloramphenicol that functions by inhibiting ribosomal activity, which disrupts bacterial protein synthesis and has shown over time a strong activity against Gram-positive and negative bacterial groups. Florfenicol was also reported to have anti-inflammatory activity through a marked reduction in immune cell proliferation and cytokine production. The need for improvement came from (1) the inappropriate use (to an important extent) of this antimicrobial, which led to serious concerns about florfenicol-related resistance genes, and (2) the fact that this antibiotic has a low water solubility making it difficult to formulate an aqueous solution in organic solvents, and applicable for different routes of administration. This review aims to synthesize the various applications of florfenicol in veterinary medicine, explore the potential use of nanotechnology to improve its effectiveness and analyze the advantages and limitations of such approaches. The review is based on data from scientific articles and systematic reviews identified in several databases.

Abstract
1. Coptisine (COP) is the main active ingredient of Coptis chinensis. In Chinese veterinary clinics, Coptis chinensis is commonly used alongside florfenicol to treat intestinal infections. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of COP co-administration on the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol in rats.2. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered COP (50 mg/kg BW) or sterile water for 7 consecutive days, followed by a single oral dose of florfenicol (25 mg/kg BW) on the 8th day. Pharmacokinetics of florfenicol were analyzed using non-compartmental methods, while expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms in the liver and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the jejunum were measured using real-time RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses.3. Co-administration of COP and florfenicol significantly increased AUC(0-∞), MRT(0-∞), and Cmax of florfenicol, while CLz/F was significantly decreased. COP down-regulated the expression of CYP1A2, CYP2C11, and CYP3A1 in the liver, as well as P-gp in the jejunum.4. These findings suggest that co-administration of COP with florfenicol alters the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol in rats. The down-regulation of CYP and P-gp expression may contribute to this effect. Therefore, the co-administration of COP with florfenicol may enhance the prophylactic or therapeutic efficacy of florfenicol in veterinary practice.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a growing public health concern worldwide, and it is now regarded as a critical One Health issue. One Health’s interconnected domains contribute to the emergence, evolution, and spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms on a local and global scale, which is a significant risk factor for global health. The persistence and spread of resistant microbial species, and the association of determinants at the human-animal-environment interface can alter microbial genomes, resulting in resistant superbugs in various niches. ABR is motivated by a well-established link between three domains: human, animal, and environmental health. As a result, addressing ABR through the One Health approach makes sense. Several countries have implemented national action plans based on the One Health approach to combat antibiotic-resistant microbes, following the Tripartite’s Commitment Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)-World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)-World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. The ABR has been identified as a global health concern, and efforts are being made to mitigate this global health threat. To summarize, global interdisciplinary and unified approaches based on One Health principles are required to limit the ABR dissemination cycle, raise awareness and education about antibiotic use, and promote policy, advocacy, and antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Berberine (BBR) is always used in combination with florfenicol for treating avian in China. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the effects of BBR on the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol in broilers. METHODS Male broilers were randomly divided into the control group and the BBR group (BG). Note that 50 mg/kg BBR or sterile water was orally administrated to broilers. On the 8th day, florfenicol [30 mg/kg body weight (BW)] was orally administered to broilers in both groups. The plasma concentrations of florfenicol were determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). The levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A37, multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1), and chicken xenobiotic-sensing orphan nuclear receptor (CXR) mRNA expression in the liver and jejunum were determined by the real-time PCR. RESULTS The results showed that the Cmax , t1/2z , MRT(0-∞) , and AUC(0-∞) of florfenicol in BG were significantly increased (by 55.71%, 28.32%, 35.19%, and 55.62%, respectively), while the Tmax and CLz/F of florfenicol were significantly decreased (by 52.13% and 35.82%, respectively). In BG, the levels of CYP3A37, MDR1, and CXR mRNA expression in the liver were significantly decreased to 0.72-fold, 0.67-fold, and 0.59-fold, respectively, and the corresponding mRNA expression in the jejunum were significantly decreased to 0.66-fold, 0.55-fold, and 0.64-fold levels, respectively, relative to their levels in the control group. CONCLUSIONS BBR altered the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol, probably related to its inhibition of CYP3A37, MDR1, and CXR mRNA expression in the jejunum and liver.

Abstract
Gossypol (Gos) is a natural polyphenolic compound that has shown a number of valuable biological properties such as antifertility, antioxidation, and antitumor activities. However, the clinical application of Gos has been hindered by its notable adverse effects such as hypokalemia, hemolytic anemia, and so on. Using sustained-release dosage form provides a hopeful solution to this problem. In this study, a gastric floating tablet for sustained-release of Gos (Gos-GFT) was developed using polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, lactose, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium stearate. Gos-GFT had an average weight of around 200 mg with a drug content percentage of around 13.66%. The physicochemical properties of Gos-GFT satisfied the pharmacopoeial requirements for tablets. Gos-GFT was able to float in an acidic medium and had a sustained drug release for over 12 h. In vivo studies showed that the relative bioavailability of Gos-GFT, as compared with Gos powders, was larger than that of a non-gastric floating tablet which was a dosage form used for comparison with Gos-GFT. Furthermore, compared with the Gos powders and the non-gastric floating Gos tablets, Gos-GFT could prolong the in vivo action time of Gos, and significantly relieve hypokalemia which is a major adverse effect of Gos. These properties made Gos-GFT a promising Gos preparation that warrants further investigation for more extensive clinical applications of this natural compound.

Abstract
Florfenicol is widely used to control diseases in aquatic animals, and is used extensively to treat streptococcosis-caused by Streptococcus agalactiae-in the commercially important fish tilapia. There are known issues with the development of florfenicol resistance in Streptococcus agalactiae, but the underlying resistance mechanisms are not clear, a situation currently preventing optimal deployment of antibiotics. Here, we examined the induction of resistance by successively increasing the concentrations of florfenicol, and then used RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) to characterize changes in the transcriptomes of a florfenicol-resistant strain (H51-R) and a florfenicol-sensitive strain (H51-S). We obtained a total of 18,418,068 sequence reads in H51-R and 16,070,122 sequence reads in H51-S, from which a total of 1940 unigenes were assembled. In total, 376 unigenes were found to be differently expressed genes (DEGs). After florfenicol treatment, 181 genes were upregulated and 195 genes were downregulated. GO functional analysis of the DEGs indicated that the most strongly enriched GO terms included metabolic process (152 genes), catalytic activity (146), and binding (133), with terms including membrane, membrane part, and transporter activity also showing enrichment. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis highlighted that ribosomes were prominently involved in the transcriptional changes associated with florfenicol resistance. This study demonstrates that florfenicol treatment affects multiple biological functions of Streptococcus agalactiae, suggests that florfenicol resistance in Streptococcus agalactiae is closely related to the reduction of intracellular drug accumulation caused by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, and highlights the potential involvement of altered ribosomal function in florfenicol resistance.

Abstract
We prepared a series of substituted N-(pyrazin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamides as an attempt to investigate the effect of different linkers connecting pyrazine to benzene cores on antimicrobial activity when compared to our previous compounds of amide or retro-amide linker type. Only two compounds, 4-amino-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (MIC = 6.25 μg/mL, 25 μM) and 4-amino-N-(6-chloropyrazin-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (MIC = 6.25 μg/mL, 22 μM) exerted good antitubercular activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. However, they were excluded from the comparison as they-unlike the other compounds-possessed the pharmacophore for the inhibition of folate pathway, which was proven by docking studies. We performed target fishing, where we identified matrix metalloproteinase-8 as a promising target for our title compounds that is worth future exploration.

Abstract
Pulsatillae radix, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is often used
in combination with florfenicol for treatment of intestinal infection in Chinese
veterinary clinics. Anemoside B4 (AB4) is the major effective saponin in
Pulsatillae radix. This study aimed to investigate whether the
pharmacokinetics of florfenicol in broilers was affected by the combination of AB4. In
this study, broilers were given AB4 (50 mg/kg BW), or 0.9% sodium chloride solution by
oral administration for 7 days. They were then fed florfenicol orally (30 mg/kg BW) on the
eighth day. The results showed that the AUC(0-∞), MRT(0-∞),
t1/2z and Cmax of florfenicol were significantly decreased, and
the Vz/F and CLz/F were significantly increased by AB4; the mRNA expression levels of CXR,
CYP3A37 and MDR1 (except CXR and CYP3A37 in the liver) were up-regulated by AB4. In
conclusion, AB4 altered the pharmacokinetics of florfenicol, resulting in lower plasma
concentrations of florfenicol, this was probably related to the mRNA expression of CXR,
CYP3A37 and MDR1 in the jejunum and liver (except CXR and CYP3A37) increased by AB4. The
implications of these findings on the effect of traditional Chinese medicine containing
AB4 on the effectiveness of florfenicol in veterinary practice deserve study.

Gastric floating sustained-release tablet for dihydromyricetin: Development, characterization, and pharmacokinetics study. Saudi Pharm J 2019; 27:1000-1008. [PMID: 31997907 PMCID: PMC6978620 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2019.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a natural dihydroflavonol compound with quite a number of important pharmacological properties. However, its low solubility in water and poor stability in aqueous environment, have compromised drug efficacy of DHM, thus hindering its clinical use. The present study was to develop DHM-loaded gastric floating sustained-release tablet (DHM-GFT) to improve the bioavailability of DHM. DHM-GFT was prepared via powder direct compression. The formulation of tablet was optimized in terms of the floating ability and drug release rate. The optimized DHM-GFT exhibited short floating lag time of less than 10 s and long floating duration of over 12 h in acidic medium. It had a 12-hour sustained release of DHM, which proved its potential to develop as a twice-a-day dosing preparation. The physicochemical properties of DHM-GFT well satisfied the pharmacopoeial requirements. In addition, the results from pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that, DHM-GFT could considerably prolong the in vivo residence time of drug and improve the bioavailability via good gastric floating ability and sustained drug release when compared to DHM powder. Therefore, DHM-GFT is promising to promote the application of DHM and merits studies for further development.

Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19103165. [PMID: 30326566 PMCID: PMC6214120 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19103165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2018] [Revised: 10/06/2018] [Accepted: 10/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Florfenicol (FFC) is a valuable synthetic fluorinated derivative of thiamphenicol widely used to treat infectious diseases in food animals. The aims of the study were to investigate whether FFC is a substrate for the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and whether the transporter influences oral availability of FFC. In vitro transport assays using MDCK-chAbcg2 cells were conducted to assess chicken BCRP-mediated transport of FFC, while in vivo pharmacokinetic experiments with single or combined BCRP inhibitor gefitinib were employed to study the role of BCRP in oral FFC disposition. According to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria, FFC was found to be a potential BCRP substrate due to the net efflux ratio being over 2.0 (2.37) in MDCK cells stably transfected with chicken BCRP and the efflux completely reversed by a BCRP inhibitor (Gefitinib). The molecular docking results indicated that florfenicol can form favorable interactions with the binding pocket of homology modeled chicken BCRP. Pharmacokinetic studies of FFC in different aged broilers with different expression levels of BCRP showed that higher BCRP expression would cause a lower Area Under Curve (AUC) and a higher clearance of FFC. In addition, more extensive absorption of florfenicol after the co-administration with gefitinib (a BCRP inhibitor) was observed. The overall results demonstrated that florfenicol is a substrate of the chicken breast cancer resistant protein which in turn affects its pharmacokinetic behavior.
