Deconvolution study of the absorption rate and disposition kinetic values of lindane in sheep

Absorption rate and plasma and fat disposition oflindane after various lindane percutaneous treatments in shorn and unshorn sheep were investigated. To analyze data with a deconvolution method, IV administration was performed to determine the basic pharmacokinetic values of lindane in sheep. After IV administration, the steady state volume of distribution was very high (8.07 +/- 3.60 L/kg of body weight), and the mean residence time was long (28.1 +/- 11.7 hours). Deconvolution analysis indicated that lindane absorption was continuous until 33 to 41 days after spraying with a 0.025% lindane solution. Total amount of absorbed lindane in shorn (15,171 +/- 4,463 microgram/kg) sheep was about twice that in unshorn (7,615 +/- 3,128 microgram/kg) sheep; from deconvolution analysis, it was calculated that the time required for 50% of the available dose to be absorbed was between 115 and 179 hours. After percutaneous lindane administration, the fat concentration was compared with the available lindane dose. The apparent half-life of lindane elimination in fat was 225 +/- 47.4 hours, which is similar to the value calculated for the absorption rate constant. By comparing fat and plasma concentrations, it was calculated that for a mean plasma concentration of 5 ng/ml, the fat lindane concentration was 1.65 +/- 0.87 microgram/g (ie, lower than the generally accepted tolerance level of 2 microgram/g).

1988
Wright, F.C. | Guillot, F.S. | George, J.E.
Angora goats heavily infested with Chorioptes bovis were dipped one time in either 0.05% amitraz, 0.27% coumaphos, 0.05% fenvalerate, or 0.03% lindane, Control of the mites by the single dips was evaluated for 21 days. Amitraz caused 98% mortality of the mites initially. Both coumaphos and lindane caused greater than 85% mortality at 3 days, but mite numbers increased rapidly thereafter. Only fenvalerate killed all of the mites.
