Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Irrational use of antimicrobial drugs in animals may result in the development and spread of bacterial resistance, which threatens human and animal health. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model can link pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to evaluate and predict dose–concentration–response relationships. PK/PD model is an effective way of optimizing the dosage regimen to guide clinical use and prevent the emergence of resistance. The PK/PD model has been applied in veterinary antimicrobial drugs for two decades, playing a vital role in the rational use of antimicrobial drugs. This Special Edition on One Health between human and animals focuses on the PK/PD model in veterinary antimicrobial drugs in primary care and will consist of 10–15 manuscripts, which may include original research, review articles, case series, and opinion papers. We are interested in both qualitative and quantitative research across the following areas:

  1. Application of the PK/PD model in the research and development of new drugs (e.g., preclinical PK/PD, translational PK/PD);
  2. Optimization of dosage regimen through the PK/PD model (e.g., PK/PD parameters, combination);
  3. Establishment of clinical breakpoint and PK/PD cutoff;
  4. Prevention and treatment of drug-resistant bacteria (e.g., HFIM,MSW).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Enrofloxacin (ENR) is one of the most common drugs used in poultry production to treat bacterial diseases, and there is a high risk of drug interactions (DDIs) between polyether anticoccidial drugs added to poultry feed over time. This may affect the efficacy of antibiotics or lead to toxicity, posing a potential risk to the environment and food safety. This study aimed to investigate the DDI of ENR and salinomycin (SAL) in broilers and the mechanism of their DDI. We found that SAL increased the area under the curve and elimination half-life of ENR and ciprofloxacin (CIP) by 1.3 and 2.4 times, 1.2 and 2.5 times, respectively. Cytochrome 3A4 (CYP3A4), p-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) were important factors for the DDI between ENR and SAL in broilers. ENR and SAL are substrates of CYP3A4, P-gp and BCRP in broilers; ENR and SAL inhibited the expression of CYP3A4 activity in a time- and concentration-dependent. Meanwhile, ENR downregulated the expression of P-gp and BCRP in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. A single oral administration of SAL inhibited CYP3A4, P-gp, and BCRP, but long-term mixed feeding upregulated the expression of CYP3A4, P-gp, and BCRP. Molecular docking revealed that ENR and SAL compete with each other for CYP3A4 to affect hepatic metabolism, and compete with ATP for P-gp and BCRP binding sites to inhibit efflux. ENR and SAL in broilers can lead to severe DDI. Drug residues and resistance following co-administration of ENR and SAL and other SAL-based drug-feed interactions warrant further study. Full article

Studies on pharmacokinetic drug–drug interactions have highlighted the importance of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) because of its involvement in substrate drug transport. This study aimed to investigate the role of chicken xenobiotic receptor (CXR) in the regulation of P-gp and its influences on pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrate sulfadiazine. ALAS1 and CYP2C45, the prototypical target genes of CXR, were used as a positive indicator for CXR activation in this study. Results show that ABCB1 gene expression was upregulated, and transporter activity was increased when exposed to the CXR activator metyrapone. Using ectopic expression techniques and RNA interference to manipulate the cellular CXR status, we confirmed that ABCB1 gene regulation depends on CXR. In vivo experiments showed that metyrapone induced ABCB1 in the liver, kidney, duodenum, jejunum and ileum of chickens. In addition, metyrapone significantly changed the pharmacokinetic behavior of orally administered sulfadiazine, with a Cmax (8.01 vs. 9.61 μg/mL, p < 0.05) and AUC0-t (31.46 vs. 45.59 h·mg/L, p < 0.01), as well as a higher T1/2λ (2.42 vs.1.67 h, p < 0.05), Cl/F (0.62 vs. 0.43 L/h/kg, p < 0.01) and Vz/F (2.16 vs.1.03 L/kg, p < 0.01). Together, our data suggest that CXR is involved in the regulation of P-gp, and, consequently, the CXR activator can affect, at least in part, the pharmacokinetic behavior of orally administered sulfadiazine.
