First, single-agent formulations of florfenicol are facing the challenge of rising drug resistance rates, significantly reducing their therapeutic efficacy. Second, to improve the therapeutic effect of florfenicol and reduce the development of resistance, it is often necessary to combine it with traditional Chinese medicine, which not only leads to high costs but also presents significant challenges in quality control.
[0003] Therefore, improving the therapeutic effect of florfenicol, reducing its drug resistance, simplifying the formulation process, reducing costs, and improving quality control are urgent problems that need to be solved.

[0033] Comparative Example 4 A commercially available brand of florfenicol powder contains 30% florfenicol.
[0034] Experimental Example 1 1. Test materials
[0035] Florfenicol formulations prepared in Examples 1, 2, and 3.
[0036] Comparative Example 1: The ratio of florfenicol to puerarin was changed.
[0037] Comparative Example 2: No low-temperature pulverization was used.
[0038] Comparative Example 3: No low-temperature co-grinding process.
[0039] Comparative Example 4: A commercially available brand of florfenicol powder.
[0040] 2. Experimental methods and results 2.1 Resistance reversal effect (in vitro antibacterial test).
[0041] For clinically isolated porcine *Escherichia coli* strains resistant to florfenicol (MIC ≥ 128 μg / mL), the drug concentration (florfenicol) was set at 256 μg / mL. The inoculum size was 1 × 10⁻⁶. 5 After incubating at 37℃ for 24 hours with CFU / mL, the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1 Antibacterial test data
[0043] As can be seen from Table 1, the average diameter of the inhibition zone in Examples 1, 2, and 3 reached 18.33 mm, which was not significantly different from Comparative Example 1, but was 19.80%, 39.92%, and 132.03% higher than Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
[0044] Therefore, it can be inferred that increasing the ratio of puerarin to florfenicol does not significantly improve the antibacterial properties of the product. From a cost control perspective, the ratio used in the examples is more reasonable; it also shows that the low-temperature pulverization and low-temperature co-grinding methods in the process of this invention have the effect of enhancing antibacterial ability.
[0045] 2.2 Process Activity Retention Rate Sample preparation: Weigh the final product of each example, use methanol-water (volume ratio 70:30) as the extraction solvent, perform ultrasonic extraction at ≤30℃ for 30 minutes, and then filter it using a 0.45μm filter membrane.
[0046] Chromatographic conditions: Chromatographic column: C18 column (4.6×250mm, particle size 5μm) was selected. Mobile phase: Acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution (volume ratio 25:75); The flow rate was set to 1.0 mL / min; the detection wavelength was determined to be 250 nm (for the detection of puerarin).
[0047] calculate: Puerarin retention rate (%) = Puerarin content in the final product / Puerarin amount in the feed × 100%.
[0048] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to detect the crystal form of florfenicol and the degree of molecular mixing among its components. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0049] Table 2 Process Activity Retention Rate
[0050] As shown in Table 2, in Comparative Example 2, the florfenicol was not subjected to a low-temperature pulverization process, and its crystal form easily transformed from α-type to β-type. Compared to α-type florfenicol, the dissolution rate of β-type florfenicol decreased by 30%. In Comparative Example 3 (without a low-temperature co-grinding process), the florfenicol crystal form did not transform, but the mixing uniformity of the components was poor, and molecular-level mixing was not achieved.
[0051] 2.3 Clinical efficacy verification Fifty-six three-way crossbred piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Large White) weighing 20±2kg were selected. After preliminary testing, their mycoplasma antibody test was negative and their body temperature was below 39.5℃.
[0052] Florfenicol-resistant porcine Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC ≥ 128 μg / mL) was isolated from clinical samples and inoculated onto tryptone-soy agar (TSA) blood plates containing 5% sheep blood. After 24 hours of anaerobic incubation at 37°C, colonies were washed off with physiological saline, and the bacterial concentration was adjusted to 1 × 10⁻⁶. 9 Colony forming units (CFU) / mL were injected into the sample pigs for infection. Within 48 hours post-infection, the sample pigs exhibited symptoms such as body temperature ≥40.5℃, respiratory rate >50 breaths / min, and cough score ≥2.
[0053] The sample pigs were randomly divided into 7 groups of 8 pigs each. In Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4, florfenicol was administered at a dose of 20 mg / kg and mixed into the basal diet, ensuring that the pigs consumed the feed within 2 hours.
[0054] The following experimental groups were set up: Blank control group (8 animals): No infection treatment or treatment was given; Infection control group (8 animals): Infection treatment was performed, but no further treatment was given; Example 1 group (8 heads): Infection treatment was performed, and the preparation of Example 1 was administered; Comparative Example 1 (8 animals): Infection treatment was performed, and the Comparative Example 1 preparation was administered. Comparative Group 2 (8 animals): Infection treatment was performed, and the Comparative Group 2 formulation was administered. Comparative Group 3 (8 animals): Infection treatment was performed, and the Comparative Group 3 preparation was administered. Comparative Group 4 (8 animals): Infection treatment was performed, and commercially available florfenicol powder was administered.
[0055] The monitoring indicators and methods are as follows: The body temperature, respiratory rate and cough index of pigs were measured daily, and their mental state and appetite were observed; computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before administration, on the 3rd day after administration and on the 7th day after administration; necropsy was performed on the 7th day after administration to detect the bacterial load (CFU / g) in the lung tissue.
[0056] The scoring criteria are as follows: Cough Index: A 0-3 rating system is used (0 indicates no cough symptoms, 3 indicates persistent cough).
[0057] Mental state / appetite: A 0-2 level rating system is used (0 indicates normal, 2 indicates complete loss of appetite).
[0058] Imaging (CT scan) scoring: Consolidation is scored from 0 to 4 points (based on the proportion of lung lobe affected); Ground-glass opacity is scored from 0 to 3 points (based on density and extent); Air bronchogram is scored from 0 to 2 points (based on the number of branches).
[0059] Lung tissue bacterial load: 1g of tissue from the central region of the right apical lobe was taken and tested using serial dilution and plate culture counting methods. The results are expressed as CFU / g (colony forming units per gram).
[0060] Cure rate calculation criteria: On the 7th day after the end of drug administration, the pigs' body temperature was below 39.5℃, the cough index was 0, and the CT score improvement was >80%. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0061] Table 3 Clinical trial data
[0062] As shown in Table 3, on the 7th day after administration of the product of the present invention, the body temperature of pigs returned to normal, the bacterial load in lung tissue decreased by 30.56%, 34.21%, and 56.89% compared with Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, respectively, the total CT score decreased by 21.05%, 28.57%, and 81.01% compared with Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, respectively, and the cure rate increased by 26.08%, 40%, and 133% compared with Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
[0063] Therefore, the florfenicol preparation of this invention exhibits significant advantages in terms of antipyresis, sterilization, improvement in imaging, and cure rate. Although Comparative Example 1 also shows obvious advantages, the present invention is the optimal solution from a cost perspective.
