Thirteen pregnant pony mares between 18 and 190 d of gestation (mean ± SEM, 101 ± 55) were utilized for the study during two trial periods. In each trial, pentoxifylline (17 mg/kg by mouth every 12h, diluted in syrup) was administered to half of the mares for 3 d, while the other mares were treated with syrup only. Doppler measurements were obtained from the right and left uterine arteries from each mare for 2 d prior to treatment and throughout the treatment period. The mean Resistivity Index (RI), Pulsatility Index (PI), Uterine Artery Diameter (D), and Total Arterial Blood Flow (TABF) from each day were compared over time and between groups. Administration of pentoxifylline did not alter uterine blood flow parameters compared with controls (values for all treatment days combined were RI: 0.517 ± 0.014 vs 0.543 ± 0.016; PI: 0.876 ± 0.048 vs 0.927 ± 0.057; D: 0.388 ± 0.018 vs 0.379 ± 0.023 cm; and TABF: 35.26 ± 7.38 vs 30.73 ± 5.29 mL/min). Uterine blood flow increased over the course of the 5 d study, irrespective of treatment, and was higher in mares of greater gestational age than in early gestational mares (RI: r2 = 0.35; PI: r2 = 0.37; D: r2 = 0.66; and TABF: r2 = 0.67 – P < 0.00001). We concluded that any immediate benefits of pentoxifylline administration in the pregnant mare were not mediated through enhanced uterine artery blood flow.}, number={2}, journal={THERIOGENOLOGY}, author={Bailey, C.

After administration, blood and endometrial biopsy samples were collected at regular intervals for 24 h. The plasma and tissue samples were analyzed for enrofloxacin and the metabolite ciprofloxacin by high‐pressure liquid chromatography. In plasma, enrofloxacin had a terminal half‐life (t½), volume of distribution (area method), and systemic clearance of 6.7 ± 2.9 h, 1.9 ± 0.4 L/kg, and 3.7 ± 1.4 mL/kg/min, respectively. Ciprofloxacin had a maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 0.28 ± 0.09 μg/mL. In endometrial tissue, the enrofloxacin Cmax was 1.7 ± 0.5 μg/g, and the t½ was 7.8 ± 3.7 h. Ciprofloxacin Cmax in tissues was 0.15 ± 0.04 μg/g and the t½ was 5.2 ± 2.0 h. The tissue:plasma enrofloxacin concentration ratios (w/w:w/v) were 0.175 ± 0.08 and 0.47 ± 0.06 for Cmax and AUC, respectively. For ciprofloxacin, these values were 0.55 ± 0.13 and 0.58 ± 0.31, respectively. We concluded that plasma concentrations achieved after 5 mg/kg i.v. are high enough to meet surrogate markers for antibacterial activity (Cmax:MIC ratio, and AUC:MIC ratio) considered effective for most susceptible gram‐negative bacteria. Endometrial tissue concentrations taken from the mares after dosing showed that enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin both penetrate this tissue adequately after systemic administration and would attain concentrations high enough in the tissue fluids to treat infections of the endometrium caused by susceptible bacteria.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS}, author={Papich, MG and Van Camp, SD and Cole, JA and Whitacre, MD}, year={2002}, month={Oct}, pages={343–350} }

Twenty cows were assigned to 4 groups (n=5 cows per group) in a 2 by 2 factorial arrangement. Cows were treated on Day 7 (Day 0 = estrus) of the estrous cycle with either sham follicular aspiration and an oil vehicle administered intramuscularly (control), aspiration of ovarian follicles (aspiration), 200 mg of P4 im, or aspiration and 200 mg of P4 im (aspiration + P4). On Day 11, PGF(2alpha)(25mg) was administered to all groups. Synchrony of ovulation was less variable in each of the treatment groups compared with the control group (P<0.05), whereas ovulation was delayed in cows in the P4 group (P<0.05). Day of follicular wave emergence was delayed in the cows of the P4 group compared with cows in the aspiration and aspiration + P4 groups (P<0.01), whereas variability in wave emergence was less among both groups of aspirated cows compared with the cows in the control group (P<0.01). More follicles 4 to 7 mm in diameter were detected in the 2 aspiration groups compared with the cows in the control and P4 group (P<0.05). No difference was detected among groups in the maximum concentration of FSH associated with follicular wave emergence. We conclude that both the administration of P4 and the aspiration of follicles on Day 7 of the estrous cycle improves the synchrony of ovulation when luteolysis is induced on Day 11 and results in similar concentrations of FSH at the time of follicular wave emergence, but the timing of wave emergence and the number of follicles post-emergence differ.}, number={3}, journal={THERIOGENOLOGY}, author={Cavalieri, J and Farin, PW and Kinder, JE and Van Camp, SD and Whitacre, MD and Washburn, SP and Britt, JH}, year={2001}, month={Feb}, pages={805–821} }

In a crossover design, the same drugs were administered intrauterine (i.u.) at a dose of 12.4 and 0.4 mg/kg for ticarcillin and clavulanate, respectively. The i.u. dose was administered in 100 mL of saline solution. Endometrial tissue biopsies and plasma samples were collected after drug administration for the determination of ticarcillin and clavulanate concentrations by high-pressure liquid chromatography and pharmacokinetic calculations. After i.u. administration both drugs were poorly absorbed into the plasma. The ticarcillin half-life from tissue and plasma was short after i.v. administration. Although concentrations in tissue were higher after i.u. administration than i.v., concentrations of ticarcillin declined rapidly, which would necessitate frequent treatment in order to maintain drug concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) throughout the treatment period. Clavulanate concentrations in tissue were either low or persisted for only a short time after administration via either route. It appears that addition of clavulanate to the formulation for treatment of i.u. infections in mares is of questionable value based on these concentrations.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PHARMACOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS}, author={Van Camp, SD and Papich, MG and Whitacre, MD}, year={2000}, month={Dec}, pages={373–378} }
