Short communication: Determination of the milk pharmacokinetics and depletion of milk residues of flunixin following transdermal administration to lactating Holstein cows.
    Journal of dairy science, 2019, Volume: 102, Issue:12

    Flunixin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and the most commonly prescribed analgesic in cattle in the United States. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a transdermal formulation of flunixin for control of pyrexia associated with bovine respiratory disease and the control of pain associated with foot rot. The transdermal formulation is not currently approved for use in lactating dairy cattle in the United States, but extra-label use in dairy cattle is permissible under US regulations. The objectives of this study were to determine the pharmacokinetics in milk of dairy cows treated with transdermal flunixin and determine an appropriate withdrawal time for milk. Ten lactating Holstein cows were enrolled into the study in mid lactation. Following treatment, cows were milked 3 times per day through 144 h. Milk samples were collected for drug analysis using ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The geometric mean maximum concentration for flunixin in milk was 0.010 μg/mL and was 0.061 μg/mL for the active metabolite, 5-hydroxyflunixin. The geometric mean terminal half-life was 20.71 h for flunixin and 22.62 h for 5-hydroxyflunixin. Calculations to approximate a withdrawal time in milk following transdermal flunixin administration were accomplished using a statistical tolerance limit procedure. This analysis indicated that it would be prudent to observe a withdrawal period of 96 h following the last treatment. This is more than twice as long as the labeled withdrawal period of 36 h following use of the injectable formulation. The withdrawal period suggested by this work should be applied carefully, as this study was not conducted under the full quality control practices required by the US FDA for a full drug approval study. Caution should be taken when applying this withdrawal time to diseased animals, animals that are milked with different milking frequencies, and those in different stages of production as these have all been shown to affect drug depletion from milk.

Identification of flunixin glucuronide and depletion of flunixin and its marker residue in bovine milk.
    Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics, 2013, Volume: 36, Issue:6

    Residues of flunixin [and its marker residue 5-hydroxyflunixin (5OHFLU)] were determined in milk from cows that intravenously received therapeutic doses of the drug. The samples were collected during each milking (every 12 h) for six consecutive days, and concentrations of flunixin and its metabolites were determined by the method with and without enzymatic hydrolysis (beta-glucuronidase). The highest flunixin concentration in milk was observed 12 h after dosing (2.4 ± 1.42 μg/kg, mean ± SD). Flunixin concentrations in the samples determined with enzymatic hydrolysis were significantly higher (P < 0.05), which suggests the transfer of flunixin glucuronide to the milk. Additionally, unambiguous identification of flunixin glucuronide in the bovine milk was performed with linear ion-trap mass spectrometry. The 5OHFLU concentrations analyzed without enzymatic hydrolysis (22.3 ± 16.04 μg/kg) were similar to this obtained with enzymatic hydrolysis. Flunixin and 5OHFLU concentrations dropped below the limits of detection at 48 h after last dosing.

Electrospray Ionization Inlet Tandem Mass Spectrometry: A Hyphenated Method for the Sensitive Determination of Chemicals in Animal Tissues and Body Fluids.
    Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 2021, Jan-06, Volume: 32, Issue:1

    This study demonstrates the utility of electrospray ionization inlet mass spectrometry (ESII-MS/MS) for the quantitative determination of analytes in complex animal matrices without chromatographic separation. Veterinary drugs including flunixin, its metabolite 5-hydroxyflunixin, and zilpaterol and persistent organic perfluoroalkyl compounds were determined in incurred plasma, urine, and/or tissue samples. Limits of detection (LOD) of zilpaterol in kidney, liver, lung, and muscle ranged from 0.02 to 0.06 ng/g, whereas the limit of quantitation (LOQ) for zilpaterol in all tissues was 0.1 ng/g. For urinary or plasma flunixin, 5-hydroxyflunixin, and PFOS/PFHxS, LODs ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 ng/mL while the LOQs ranged from 0.4 to 50 ng/mL. Regression coefficients for matrix-matched standard curves were 0.993-0.997, 0.977-0.999, and 0.999 for plasma, tissues, and urine, respectively. Correlations between quantitative results obtained by ESII-MS/MS and LC-MS for flunixin, 5-hydroxyflunixin, and zilpaterol ranged from 0.930 to 0.985. ESII-MS/MS provided rapid, sensitive, and accurate analyses of veterinary drugs and environmental contaminants from complex matrices without chromatographic separation.

Role of ABCG2 in Secretion into Milk of the Anti-Inflammatory Flunixin and Its Main Metabolite: In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation in Mice and Cows.
    Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 2019, Volume: 47, Issue:5

    Flunixin meglumine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used in veterinary medicine. It is indicated to treat inflammatory processes, pain, and pyrexia in farm animals. In addition, it is one of the few NSAIDs approved for use in dairy cows, and consequently gives rise to concern regarding its milk residues. The ABCG2 efflux transporter is induced during lactation in the mammary gland and plays an important role in the secretion of different compounds into milk. Previous reports have demonstrated that bovine ABCG2 Y581S polymorphism increases fluoroquinolone levels in cow milk. However, the implication of this transporter in the secretion into milk of anti-inflammatory drugs has not yet been studied. The objective of this work was to study the role of ABCG2 in the secretion into milk of flunixin and its main metabolite, 5-hydroxyflunixin, using Abcg2

Occurrence of flunixin residues in bovine milk samples from the USA.
    Food additives & contaminants. Part A, Chemistry, analysis, control, exposure & risk assessment, 2013, Volume: 30, Issue:9

    5-Hydroxy-flunixin concentrations in milk samples were quantified by two commercially available screening assays--CHARM® and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA)--to determine whether any concentrations could be detected above the tolerance limit of 2 ng g⁻¹ from different regions in the United States. Milk samples came from large tanker trucks hauling milk to processing plants, and had already been screened for antibiotics. Positive results for flunixin residues based on a screening assay were confirmed by ultra-HPLC with mass spectrometric detection. Of the 500 milk samples analysed in this study, one sample was found to have a 5-hydroxy-flunixin concentration greater than the tolerance limit. The results of this study indicate that flunixin residues in milk are possible. Regulatory agencies should be aware that such residues can occur, and should consider incorporating or expanding flunixin screening tests as part of routine drug monitoring in milk. Larger studies are needed to determine the true prevalence of flunixin residues in milk from other regions in the United States as well as different countries.

Plasma pharmacokinetics and milk residues of flunixin and 5-hydroxy flunixin following different routes of administration in dairy cattle.
    Journal of dairy science, 2012, Volume: 95, Issue:12

    The objective of this study was to determine if the plasma pharmacokinetics and milk elimination of flunixin (FLU) and 5-hydroxy flunixin (5OH) differ following intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of FLU compared with intravenous injection. Twelve lactating Holstein cows were used in a randomized crossover design study. Cows were organized into 2 groups based on milk production (<20 or >30 kg of milk/d). All cattle were administered 2 doses of 1.1mg of FLU/kg at 12-h intervals by intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injections. The washout period between routes of administration was 7d. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein before FLU administration and at various time points up to 36 h after the first dose of FLU. Composite milk samples were collected before FLU administration and twice daily for 5d after the first dose of FLU. Samples were analyzed by ultra-HPLC with mass spectrometric detection. For FLU plasma samples, a difference in terminal half-life was observed among routes of administration. Harmonic mean terminal half-lives for FLU were 3.42, 4.48, and 5.39 h for intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection, respectively. The mean bioavailability following intramuscular and subcutaneous dosing was 84.5 and 104.2%, respectively. The decrease in 5OH milk concentration versus time after last dose was analyzed with the nonlinear mixed effects modeling approach and indicated that both the route of administration and rate of milk production were significant covariates. The number of milk samples greater than the tolerance limit for each route of administration was also compared at each time point for statistical significance. Forty-eight hours after the first dose, 5OH milk concentrations were undetectable in all intravenously injected cows; however, one intramuscularly injected and one subcutaneously injected cow had measurable concentrations. These cows had 5OH concentrations above the tolerance limit at the 36-h withdrawal time. The high number of FLU residues identified in cull dairy cows by the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service is likely related to administration of the drug by an unapproved route. Cattle that received FLU by the approved (intravenous) route consistently eliminated the drug before the approved withdrawal times; however, residues can persist beyond these approved times following intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. Cows producing less than 20 kg of m

In-house reference materials: 5-hydroxyflunixin and meloxicam in cow milk-preparation and evaluation.
    Analytica chimica acta, 2009, Apr-01, Volume: 637, Issue:1-2

    Reference materials are helpful to evaluate the performance of laboratories as well as being useful for the quality control of analytical procedures. Certified reference materials and other reference materials containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in milk are however, not available. Therefore, production and evaluation of in-house reference materials with incurred residues of 5-hydroxyflunixin (5OHFLU) and meloxicam (MEL) in cow milk has been performed. The milk was collected 12h after dosing from cows which received meloxicam (0.5 mgkg(-1) b.w., i.v., single dose) or flunixin meglumine (2.2 mgkg(-1) b.w., i.v. during three days). The concentrations of analytes were checked in the milk samples. The milk was diluted with milk free from NSAIDs residues, homogenised, put into sterile 20 mL vials, frozen and lyophilised. The vials were weighed before and after lyophilisation, in order to calculate the amount of water necessary for reconstitution, and were stored at a temperature of -20+/-2 degrees C. For the homogeneity study, 10 random samples were analysed in duplicate and the results were interpreted using Cochran's test, Horwitz standard deviation and the test for a sufficient homogeneity. The assigned values, calculated from the results of the homogeneity test were 54.3 microgkg(-1) for 5OHFLU and 46.4 microgkg(-1) for MEL. The samples were tested for their stability every 14 days for 2 months and after 9 months. It has been confirmed that an appropriate homogeneity and stability of the produced in-house reference material has been obtained.
