Abstract

Metabolism and phamacokinetics of albendazole have been studied in Korean native cattle after oral administration of 5 mg/kg of albendazole. As ABZ is known to be rapidly biotransformed to many metabolites in most animal species, it is very imperative to establish the analytical conditions for its metabolites. LC/MS methods for ABZSO and ABZS $O_2$met every requirement enough to study the metabolism of pharmacokinetics of albendazole in Korean native cattle. The parent drug (ABZ) was only measured at first two time points of 0.5 h and 1h, whereas two metabolites were consistently formed between 0.5 h to 48-72 h post-treatment. Formation kinetics for ABZSO and ABZS $O_2$were similar. Time to peak concentration (Tmax) of ABZ-SO appeared at 12h post-treatment of ABZ, faster than that of ABZS $O_2$at 24h. Cmax of ABZS $O_2$(1.05$\pm$0.05 ug/ml) was 1.09 times higher than that of ABZSO (0.96$\pm$0.15). Elimination half-life of ABZS $O_2$(4.2 h) was much shorter than ABZS $O_2$(7.0h) (p<0.005). ABZSO was detected until 48h post-administration but ABZS $O_2$was measurable even at 72h post-dosing. AU $C_{0longrightarrow{\infty}}$ of ABZSO was smaller than that of ABZS $O_2$. Regimen of ABZ is advised to take into consideration is metabolite profiles, especially that of ABZSO, an active metabolite.

한우에서 albendazole을 경구투여하였을 때의 albendazole의 생체내 대사 및 약물동태학적 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 거의 모든 가축종에서 albendazole은 투여 후 신속하게 대사산물로 전환되기 때문에 albendazole 대사산물에 대한 분석법 확립이 albendazole의 생체내 거동을 파악하기 위하여 매우 긴요하다. 본 연구에서는 albendazole 및 그 대사산물인 albendazole sulfoxide(ABZSO)와 albendazole sulfone(ABZS $O_2$)을 LC/MS을 이용하여 높은 분석능을 획득할 수 있었다. Albendazole을 한우에 5 mg/kg을 경구토여하였을 때 모약인 albendazole은 첫 두 채혈시점인 0.5 h 1h에서만 측정되었을 뿐 그 이후에는 측정되지 않았다. 한편, ABZSO와 ABZS $O_2$은 첫 채혈 시점인 0.5h부터 측정되어 투여 후 각각 48h 및 72h까지 측정이 가능하였다. 두 대사산물의 초기 생성속도는 비슷하였다. 혈중최고농도 도달시간 ($T^{max}$)은 ABZSO가 12.00 h로서 ABZS $O_2$의 22.50$\pm$3.00h보다 빨랐으며 (p<0.005), ABZSO의 최고농도 ( $C_{max}$)는 0.96$\pm$0.15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml이었고 ABZS $O_2$의 그것을 1.05$\pm$0.05 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml를 나타내었다. 소실반감기 ($t^$\frac{1}{2}$, ke/$)는 ABZSO는 4.14$\pm$0.30 h로 ABZS $O_2$의 6.95$\pm$0.36 h보다 빨랐으며 (p<0.005), MRT (mean residence time)는 각각 13.11$\pm$0.05 h와 21.60$\pm$1.99h로서 ABZS $O_2$가 생체내에 더욱 오래 머물렀다 (p<0.005). ABZSO는 AU $C_{0}$$\longrightarrow$$\infty$/는 ABZS $O_2$의 그것보다 작았다. 이러한 사실로 미루어보아 ABZ을 한우에 구충목적으로 투여할 때 구충활성을 가진 것으로 알려져 있는 ABZSO의 생체내 거동을 고려하여 용법용량을 설정하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.
