    Abstract:
    Fates and residue depletion of enrofloxacin (ER) and its metabolite ciprofloxacin (CP) were examined in giant freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, following either single oral (p.o.) administration of ER at a dosage of 10 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) or medicated-feed treatment at the feeding concentration of 5 g/kg of feed for five consecutive days. The concentrations of ER and CP in prawn muscle tissues were measured simultaneously using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a fluorescence detector. Muscle tissue concentrations of ER and CP were below the detection limit (LOD, 0.015 microg/g for ER; 0.025 microg/g for CP) after 360 and 42 h, following single p.o. administration respectively. Peak muscle concentration (C(max)) of ER was 1.98 +/- 0.22 microg/g whereas CP was measurable at concentrations close to the detection limit of the analytical method after p.o. administration at a single dosage of 10 mg/kg b.w. The concentration of ER in prawn muscle tissue with respect to time was analyzed with a non-compartmental pharmacokinetic model. The elimination half-life and area under the curve of ER were 39.33 +/- 7.27 h and 168.7 +/- 28.7 microg x h/g after p.o. administration at a single dose of 10 mg/kg x b.w. respectively. In medicated-feed treated group, ER was detectable in prawn muscle tissue 11 days postdosing at the dose of 5 g/kg of feed for five consecutive days, which is the value corresponding to the maximum residue limit (MRL) of ER in animal products. The maximum concentrations of ER and CP were 2.77 +/- 0.91 and 0.06 +/- 0.006 microg/g during medicated-feed treatment and postdosing respectively. The values of elimination half-life and absorption half-life of ER after single p.o. administration at a dosage of 10 mg/kg b.w. corresponded well with the values determined from medicated-feed treated group, showing 41.01 +/- 6.62 and 11.36 +/- 3.15 h respectively in M. rosenbergii. Based on data derived from this study, to avoid the ER residue in prawn muscle, it should take at least 11 days postcessation of medicated feed containing ER at the dose concentration of 5 g/kg of feed twice a day at a rate of 1% of total body weight for five consecutive days to wash out the drug from the muscle of M. rosenbergii.
