【Objective】The pharmacokinetical characteristics and bioavailability of pleuromutilin derivative BC-7013 in chickens were investigated. 【Method】 Twenty chickens were randomly divided into two groups for pharmacokinelical experiments after a single intravenous (2.5 mg·kg-1) and oral administration (15 mg·kg-1). Blood samples were collected at different intervals after the administration of derivative BC-7013. The concentrations of derivative BC-7013 in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) with internal standard method. Plasma concentration-time profiles of derivative BC-7013 were analyzed by using non-compartmental analysis WinNonlin 5.2 software. 【Result and conclusion】 The main pharmacokinetical parameters of i.v. administration were as follows:t1/2β =(1.37±0.14) h,Vd=(1.87±0.25) L·kg-1,AUC(0→∞) =(2.83±0.56) μg·mL-1·h,CL=(1.14±0.28) L·h-1·kg-1. The major pharmacokinetical parameters of oral administration were as follows:tmax =(1.94±0.26) h,Cmax =(126.18±6.54) ng·mL-1,AUC(0→∞) =(1.38±0.21) μg·mL-1·h,MRT=(9.49±0.57) h,F =(10.37±1.48)%. The results show that the pharmacokinetical characteristics of pleuromutilin derivative BC-7013 in healthy chicken manifest wide distribution, rapid elimination as well as incomplete absorption and low oral bioavailability.
