[Pharmacokinetics of arbekacin in dogs. I. Serum concentration and urinary excretion].
A new aminoglycoside antibiotic, arbekacin (HBK) was intramuscularly and intravenously administered to dogs in order to study its pharmacokinetics in comparison to amikacin (AMK). The results obtained are summarized as follows. Serum concentrations of HBK were well correlated with dose levels. The dose-serum concentration relationship with HBK was similar to other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Biological half-lives of HBK and AMK were both about 1 hour in dogs. This was also similar to other aminoglycoside antibiotics. There was no significant difference in peak serum concentrations between 1 hour intravenous infusion and intramuscular injection of HBK at 2 mg/kg in dogs. Repetitive administration of HBK to dogs at 2 mg/kg twice a day for 14 days did not affect its serum concentration and biological half-life. Urinary excretion of HBK in dogs in 24 hours after administration accounted for about 80-90%.
