Abstract

We investigated serum levels and urinary excretion of NY-198 using HPLC and bioassay methods after oral administration to dogs at a dose of 20mg/kg. Average serum levels of NY-198 reached a peak concentration of 8.95 μg/ml at 1 h after oral dosing, and then declined with a half-life of 7.1 h. NY-198 was excreted rapidly in urine after oral dosing, and the peak concentration was obtained in 6-12 hurine. A high urinary concentration of more than 50 μg/ml was maintained up to 48 h. Urinary excretion was 40.3% at 24 h and 51.8% at 72 h. Concentrations of NY-198 in serum and urine were measured by both HPLC and bioassay, and good correlation between the two assays was obtained. These results suggest that active metabolites possesing antimicrobial activity are not present in serum or urine after oral administration of NY-198.
