The influence of methimazole (MTZ) on the pharmacokinetics of netobimin (NTB) and its metabolites was investigated in adult sheep. NTB zwitterion suspension was administered at 20 mg kg-l by intraruminal injection either alone or with simultaneous administration of MTZ intramuscularly at 1.5 mg kg-l

Abstract
The prochiral anthelmintic drug albendazole was administered orally to sheep and rats. Blood samples were taken at standardized intervals during the time course of the plasma kinetics: 18 h in rats and 48 h in sheep. The enantiomeric ratio of the sulfoxide metabolite was determined by means of HPLC on a chiral stationary phase, the chiral selector of which was a Nβ3,5βdinitrobenzoyl derivative of (S)βtyrosine. Two enantiomers were detected in both animal species but their ratios were inverted in rat vs. sheep. The evolution of the ratio is turned from a racemate at 15 min to 60(β):40(+) at 12 h in rats, while it moved from 23(β):77(+) at 3 h to 4(β):96(+) at 36 h after administration in sheep.

We present a method for the enantioselective analysis of albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO) in plasma for application in clinical pharmacokinetic studies. ABZSO enantiomers were separated on a 5-micron Chiralcel OB-H column (4.6 x 150 mm) using hexane:ethanol (93:7, v/v) as the mobile phase and fluoresce
The influence of two surfactants, sodium taurocholate (STC) and polysorbate 80 (P80), on the bioavailability of albendazole (ABZ), orally administered to rats, has been studied. To assess the effect of the surfactants, they were administered at critical micellar and supramicellar concentrations, 5 a
