본 연구는 육계에 톨투라주릴을 체중당 10 mg 및 40 mg 용량으로 경구 투여한 후 톨투라주릴의 약물동태학적 분석을 실시하였다. 혈장내의 톨투라주릴의 정량은 액체크로마토그래프/질량분석기를 사용하였으며, 경구 투여후 혈장 농도-시간 자료는 non-compartmental analysis를 이용하여 분석하였다. 톨투라주릴을 10 mg/kg 및 40 mg/kg 용량으로 각각 경구투여 후 혈중최고농도($18.04{pm}5.50{mu}g/mL$ 및 $47.15{pm}9.40{mu}g/mL$)는 $4.33{pm}1.51h$ 및 $3.67{pm}1.51h$에 나타났다. 소실반감기는 $11.40{pm}4.68h$ 및 $11.64{pm}4.08h$으로 각각 나타났다. 톨투라주릴의 경구투여 후 혈중최고농도 및 곡선하면적은 용량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.
A study on the oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of an anticoccidal agent, toltrazuril, was conducted in broilers following a single oral doses of 10 mg/kg body weight (BW) or 40 mg/kg BW. The concentrations of toltrazuril in plasma were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Plasma concentration-time data after single oral administration were analyzed by a non-compartmental analysis. Toltrazuril was very well-absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract with $C_{max}$ of $18.04{pm}5.80{mu}g/mL$ and $47.15{pm}9.40{mu]g/mL$ at $4.33{pm}1.51h$ and $3.67{pm}1.15h$ after oral dose of 10 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg in broilers, respectively. A comparison between 10 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg dose groups showed that $t_{max}$ were similar while $C_{max}$ and area under curve (AUC) increased with increasing dose.
