Drug Metabolism and Drug Interactions

Furazolidone (FZ) is a nitrofuran drug commonly used in aquaculture. In the present study, [methylidene-14C]-FZ or [oxazolone-4,5-14C]-FZ was offered to rainbow trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) in medicated feed at a daily dose of 135 mg/kg b. wt. for 10 days. The trout were sacrificed at specific time points post-dosing and the liver removed for DNA-bound 14C characterization. Both forms of the 14C-labelled FZ were converted by trout to reactive metabolite(s) which bound irreversibly to the hepatic… CONTINUE READING
