title: Pharmacokinetics of diminazene in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of goats.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of diminazene in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma of five uninfected goats treated with single intramuscular doses of 3.5 mg diminazene base kg-1 bodyweight was investigated. The concentrations of the drug were determined by high performance liquid chromatography, and were three to four times lower in CSF than in plasma. The kinetics of the drug in CSF and plasma differed significantly with respect to Cmax, tmax, AUC0-48h, AUMC0-48h, Cl and Vd(ss).
