[Pharmacokinetics and anti-Dicrocoelium activity of thiophanate and its major metabolite in ruminants].
After a single oral dosage of 40 mg thiophanate/kg in cattle, sheep and goats, the parent compound and its main metabolite: ethyl benzimidazol-1H-yl-2-carbamate (EBC) are evidenced in plasma by HPLC analysis for 60 to 72 hours. The rate of metabolic change of thiophanate into EBC is 34% in sheep, 52% in goats and 57% in cattle. At this dosage, thiophanate seems to be effective against Dicrocoelium in sheep. On the contrary, EBC is uneffective at 15 mg/kg while it seems undetectable in plasma at any time.
