Enrofloxacin pharmacokinetics were studied in European cuttlefish,
Sepia
officinalis
, after a single 5 mg/kg i.v. injection or a 2.5 mg/L 5 h bath. A pilot
study with two animals was also performed following a 10 mg/kg p.o.
administration. The concentration of enrofloxacin in hemolymph was assayed
using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and pharmacokinetic
parameters were derived from compartmental methods. In the i.v. study, the
terminal half-life (
t
1/2
), apparent volume of distribution, and systemic clearance
were respectively 1.81 h, 385 mL/kg, and 4.71 mL/min/kg. Following bath
administration the

h/mL, respectively. The active metabolite of
enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, was not detected in any samples tested. The
hemolymph concentration was still above minimum inhibitory concentration
(
MIC
) values for shrimp and fish bacterial isolates at 6 h after i.v. administra-
tion, therefore, a dose of 5 mg/kg i.v. every 8–12 h is suggested for additional
studies of efficacy. The
C
max
value for the water bath was lower than for the i.v.
study, but a bath of 2.5 mg/L for 5 h once to twice daily is suggested for
additional studies to test efficacy against highly susceptible organisms.
Although only two animals were used for the oral study, a dose of 10 mg/kg
produced hemolymph concentrations of enrofloxacin that were in a range
consistent with therapeutic efficacy in other species.
