Abstract
Improvement in the use of existing anthelmintics is a high priority need for the pharmaco-parasitology research field, considering the magnitude and severity of anthelmintic resistance as an important issue in livestock production. In the work described here, monepantel (MNP) was given alone or co-administered with either macrocyclic lactone (ML) or benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics to calves naturally infected with ML- and BZ-resistant gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes on two different commercial cattle farms. Both pharmacokinetic (PK) and efficacy assessments were performed. On Farm A, male calves (n = 15 per group) were treated with either MNP orally (2.5 mg/kg), IVM s.c. (0.2 mg/kg), ricobendazole (RBZ) s.c. (3.75 mg/kg) or remained untreated. On Farm B, eight groups (n = 15) of male calves received treatment with either: MNP, abamectin (ABM, oral, 0.2 mg/kg), RBZ (s.c., 3.75 mg/kg), albendazole (ABZ, oral, 5 mg/kg), MNP+ABM, MNP+RBZ, MNP+ABZ (all at the above-mentioned routes and doses) or remained untreated. Seven animals from each treated group (Farm B) were randomly selected to perform the PK study. MNP and its metabolite monepantel sulphone (MNPSO2) were the main analytes recovered in plasma after HPLC analysis. The combined treatments resulted in decreased systemic exposures to MNP parent drug compared with that observed after treatment with MNP alone (P < 0.05). However, the systemic availability of the main MNP metabolite (MNPSO2) was unaffected by co-administration with either ABM, RBZ or ABZ. Efficacies of 98% (Farm A) and 99% (Farm B) demonstrated the high efficacy of MNP given alone (P < 0.05) against GI nematodes resistant to ML and BZ in cattle. While the ML (IVM, ABM) failed to control Haemonchus spp., Cooperia spp. and Ostertagia spp., MNP achieved 99% to 100% efficacy against those nematode species on both commercial farms. However, MNP alone failed to control Oesophagostomum spp. (60% efficacy) on Farm A. The co-administered treatments MNP+ABZ and MNP+RBZ reached a 100% reduction against all GI nematode genera. In conclusion, the oral treatment with MNP should be considered to deal with resistant nematode parasites in cattle. The use of MNP in combination with BZ compounds could be a valid strategy to extend its lifespan for use in cattle as well as to reverse its poor activity against Oesophagostomum spp.

Pharmacokinetic assessment of the monepantel plus oxfendazole combined administration in dairy cows. J Vet Pharmacol Ther 2017; 41:292-300.

Abstract
Monepantel (MNP) is a novel anthelmintic compound launched into the veterinary pharmaceutical market. MNP is not licenced for use in dairy animals due to the prolonged elimination of its metabolite monepantel sulphone (MNPSO2 ) into milk. The goal of this study was to evaluate the presence of potential in vivo drug-drug interactions affecting the pattern of milk excretion after the coadministration of the anthelmintics MNP and oxfendazole (OFZ) to lactating dairy cows. The concentrations of both parent drugs and their metabolites were measured in plasma and milk samples by HPLC. MNPSO2 was the main metabolite recovered from plasma and milk after oral administration of MNP. A high distribution of MNPSO2 into milk was observed. The milk-to-plasma ratio (M/P ratio) for this metabolite was equal to 6.75. Conversely, the M/P ratio of OFZ was 1.26. Plasma concentration profiles of MNP and MNPSO2 were not modified in the presence of OFZ. The pattern of MNPSO2 excretion into milk was also unchanged in animals receiving MNP plus OFZ. The percentage of the total administered dose recovered from milk was 0.09 ± 0.04% (MNP) and 2.79 ± 1.54% (MNPSO2 ) after the administration of MNP alone and 0.06 ± 0.04% (MNP) and 2.34 ± 1.38% (MNPSO2 ) after the combined treatment. The presence of MNP did not alter the plasma and milk disposition kinetics of OFZ. The concentrations of the metabolite fenbendazole sulphone tended to be slightly higher in the coadministered group. Although from a pharmacodynamic point of view the coadministration of MNP and OFZ may be a useful tool, the presence of OFZ did not modify the in vivo pharmacokinetic behaviour of MNP and therefore did not result in reduced milk concentrations of MNPSO2 .

The ABCG2 Efflux Transporter in the Mammary Gland Mediates Veterinary Drug Secretion across the Blood-Milk Barrier into Milk of Dairy Cows. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2016; 44:700-8. [PMID: 26956640 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.115.068940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2015] [Accepted: 03/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In human and mice ATP-binding cassette efflux transporter ABCG2 represents the main route for active drug transport into milk. However, there is no detailed information on the role of ABCG2 in drug secretion and accumulation in milk of dairy animals. We therefore examined ABCG2-mediated drug transport in the bovine mammary gland by parallel pharmacokinetic studies in lactating Jersey cows and in vitro flux studies using the anthelmintic drug monepantel (MNP) as representative bovine ABCG2 (bABCG2) drug substrate. Animals received MNP (Zolvix, Novartis Animal Health Inc.) once (2.5 mg/kg per os) and the concentrations of MNP and the active MNP metabolite MNPSO2 were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Compared with the parent drug MNP, we detected higher MNPSO2 plasma concentrations (expressed as area under the concentration-versus-time curve). Moreover, we observed MNPSO2 excretion into milk of dairy cows with a high milk-to-plasma ratio of 6.75. In mechanistic flux assays, we determined a preferential time-dependent basolateral-to-apical (B > A) MNPSO2 transport across polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney II cells-bABCG2 monolayers using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The B > A MNPSO2 transport was significantly inhibited by the ABCG2 inhibitor fumitremorgin C in bABCG2- but not in mock-transduced MDCKII cells. Additionally, the antibiotic drug enrofloxacin, the benzimidazole anthelmintic oxfendazole and the macrocyclic lactone anthelmintic moxidectin caused a reduction in the MNPSO2(B > A) net efflux. Altogether, this study indicated that therapeutically relevant drugs like the anthelmintic MNP represent substrates of the bovine mammary ABCG2 transporter and may thereby be actively concentrated in dairy milk.
