Fenbendazole (FBZ) was administered intraruminally at 5.0 mg/kg, containing a trace of [14C]-FBZ, to sheep fitted with a permanent bile duct cannula and the behaviour of FBZ and its metabolites examined in bile and plasma. Of the administered radiolabelled dose, 47% was secreted in bile of which 34% was accounted for as conjugated and 4% as unconjugated (free) metabolites. Hydroxylated oxfendazole (OH.OFZ) was the major biliary metabolite contributing 66%, and hydroxy-FBZ (OH.FBZ) 27%, of the… CONTINUE READING
