The ecotoxicity of anticoagulants used for rodent pests' management is a major concern, particularly with second generation anticoagulants, which are more persistent in the body of rodents and therefore more likely to cause secondary exposure in their predators. One of the solutions envisaged to mitigate this risk is to use stereoisomers of these anticoagulants, each of which has particular pharmacokinetics. However, the few studies published to date have considered only one species and one sex. Here, we study the pharmacokinetics of the 4 stereoisomers of 3.4 mg/kg of difethialone in rats (Rattus norvegicus) and 3 mg/kg in mice (Mus musculus) in both sexes and propose a model to choose the optimal stereoisomer efficacy/ecotoxicity mixture for the management of all these animals. Our results show that while the most persistent stereoisomer (E3-cis) is common to both species and sexes, the pharmacokinetics of the other stereoisomers show marked differences between sexes and species. Thus, the area under curve (AUC) of E4-trans in male rats is four times lower than in females or mice, making it a priori unusable in male rats. Conversely, our modeling seems to show that the E1-trans stereoisomer seems to offer the best compromise AUC persistence. In conclusion, we highlight that studies on anticoagulants must necessarily integrate research on the effect of gender and species both on efficacy and with regard to the ecotoxicity of these molecules.
