We describe induction time in six white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) when they received etorphine intramuscularly (IM) or etorphine plus azaperone IM. The median induction time was reduced from 8.9 min for etorphine alone to 6.25 min with azaperone; however, there was no difference in immobilization quality between treatments[1].

Animal Protocol |
Six male white rhinoceros (5–6 y old) were captured in the Kruger National Park (23°49′60 S, 31°30′0 E; altitude 317 m), South Africa, and habituated over 4 mo to captivity in holding pens. These animals were part of a multifaceted crossover study with two randomly allocated (computer-generated) interventions separated by a minimum 2-wk washout period between treatments (Buss et al. 2016, 2018). The rhinoceros were administered the following treatments, which included hyaluronidase (5000 IU); etorphine hydrochloride (9.8 mg/mL IM, M99), or etorphine and azaperone (40 mg/mL IM). Total doses were 2.5 mg etorphine, 37.5 mg azaperone (for a 1,000–1,250-kg rhinoceros), and 3.0 mg etorphine, 45 mg azaperone (for a 1,250–1,500-kg rhinoceros), giving etorphine 0.002–0.0025 mg/kg and azaperone 0.03–0.0375 mg/kg (Haw et al. 2014; Buss et al. 2016). At the end of each trial, the rhinoceros was weighed; its body mass was used to determine treatment drug doses and to monitor the animal's health.[1]
We administered immobilization drugs into the nuchal hump using a 3.0-mL plastic dart with a 60-mm uncollared needle propelled from a compressed air rifle. Induction time was measured from the time of dart placement to when the animal could be safely placed in sternal recumbency. Immobilization quality score was subjectively assessed as 1–4 by the same observer using established criteria (Table 1) at 10 min after a rhinoceros became recumbent (t=0). At the end of each trial, a rhinoceros was administered naltrexone (40 mg/mL) intravenously at 20 times the etorphine dose (milligrams) and observed until fully recovered.[1] |

Additional Infomation |
Azaperone is an N-arylpiperazine that is 2-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridine in which the amino hydrogen is replaced by a 3-(4-fluobenzoyl)propyl group. Used mainly as a tranquiliser for pigs and elephants. It has a role as an antipsychotic agent and a dopaminergic antagonist. It is a N-arylpiperazine, a N-alkylpiperazine, an aminopyridine, a tertiary amino compound, a member of monofluorobenzenes and an aromatic ketone.
Azaperone is a pyridinylpiperazine and butyrophenone agent that is capable of eliciting neuroleptic sedative and antiemetic effects. It is subsequently employed predominantly as a veterinary tranquilizer and mainly for pigs and elephants. At the same time, the agent generally does not see equine use as particular adverse reactions may happen. More rarely it may be used in humans as an antipsychotic drug, but this is uncommon. A butyrophenone used in the treatment of PSYCHOSES. |

Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.64 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
