Atlantic salmon (approximately 1.3 kg) maintained in tanks of seawater at 5 +/- 1 degrees C were dosed with [(3)H]emamectin B1 benzoate in feed at a nominal rate of 50 ug of emamectin benzoate/kg/day for 7 consecutive days. Tissues, blood, and bile were collected from 10 fish each at 3 and 12 hr and at 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 days post final dose. Feces were collected daily from the tanks beginning just prior to dosing to 90 days post final dose. The total radioactive residues (TRR) of the daily feces samples during dosing were 0.25 ppm maximal, and >97% of the TRR in pooled feces covering the dosing period was emamectin B1a. Feces TRR then rapidly declined to approximately 0.05 ppm by 1 day post final dose. The ranges of mean TRR for tissues over the 90 days post dose period were as follows: kidney, 1.4-3 ppm; liver, 1.0-2.3 ppm; skin, 0.04-0.09 ppm; muscle, 0.02-0.06 ppm; and bone, <0.01 ppm. The residue components of liver, kidney, muscle, and skin samples pooled by post dose interval were emamectin B1a (81-100% TRR) and desmethylemamectin B1a (0-17% TRR) with N-formylemamectin B1a seen in trace amounts (<2%) in some muscle samples. The marker residue selected for regulatory surveillance of emamectin residues was emamectin B1a. The emamectin B1a level was quantified in individual samples of skin and muscle using HPLC-fluorometry and was below 85 ppb in all samples analyzed (3 hr to 30 days post dose).
The metabolism of (3)H/(14)C-labeled 4"-deoxy-4"-epimethylaminoavermectin B1a (MAB1a) benzoate, the major homologue (>/=90%) of the avermectin insecticide emamectin benzoate, was studied in laying chickens. Ten Leghorn hens (Gallus domesticus) were orally dosed once daily for 7 days (1 mg/kg of body weight/day). Eggs and excreta were collected daily, and eggs were subsequently separated into whites and yolks. Chickens were euthanized within 20 hr after the last dose, and liver, kidney, heart, muscle, fat, ovaries, gizzard, gastrointestinal tract and contents, and carcass were collected. Approximately 70 and 6% of the total administered dose were recovered in the excreta plus gastrointestinal tract and contents and in the tissues plus eggs, respectively. Two novel metabolites, i.e. the 24-hydroxymethyl derivative of the parent compound (24-hydroxymethyl-4"-deoxy-4"-epimethylaminoavermectin B1a) and the N-demethylated derivative of 24-hydroxymethyl-4"-deoxy-4"-epimethylaminoavermectin B1a (24-hydroxymethyl-4"-deoxy-4"-epiaminoavermectin B1a), were identified. In addition, eight fatty acid conjugates of each of these two metabolites, comprising 8-75% of total radioactive residues in tissues and eggs, were isolated and identified. Although this represents some of the most extensive in vivo fatty acid conjugation to a xenobiotic reported to date, potential human exposure to MAB1a residues from consumption of chicken would be extremely low, because the dosage level in this study was approximately 1000-fold greater than the MAB1a residue levels seen in crops and because the majority of the applied dose was recovered in the excreta. Based on these findings, the avian biotransformation of MAB1a differs substantially from the mammalian biotransformation.
While emamectin benzoate is not extensively metabolized in mammals, the limited information on the metabolites of emamectin benzoate suggests that metabolism does not result in the detoxification of emamectin benzoate. One plant metabolite of emamectin benzoate is somewhat more toxic than emamectin benzoate itself.
It has low solubility in water and extensive non-specific binding. It opens GABA-insensitive chloride channels, reducing membrane resistance and increasing conductance inward. (T10)
Avermectins cause irritation of skin and eyes, central nervous system depression (incoordination, tremors, lethargy, excitation, pupil dilation, coma), vomiting, convulsions and/or tremors, and respiratory failure at high doses. (L1826)
House flies, Musca domestica L., are important pests of dairy operations worldwide, with the ability to adapt wide range of environmental conditions. There are a number of insecticides used for their management, but development of resistance is a serious problem. Insecticide mixtures could enhance the toxicity of insecticides in resistant insect pests, thus resulting as a potential resistance management tool. The toxicity of bifenthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, chlorpyrifos, profenofos, emamectin benzoate and fipronil were assessed separately, and in mixtures against house flies. A field-collected population was significantly resistant to all the insecticides under investigation when compared with a laboratory susceptible strain. Most of the insecticide mixtures like one pyrethroid with other compounds evaluated under two conditions (1?1-"A" and LC50: LC50-"B") significantly increased the toxicity of pyrethroids in the field population. Under both conditions, the combination indices of pyrethroids with other compounds, in most of the cases, were significantly below 1, suggesting synergism. The enzyme inhibitors, PBO and DEF, when used in combination with insecticides against the resistant population, toxicities of bifenthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin and emamectin were significantly increased, suggesting esterase and monooxygenase based resistance mechanism. The toxicities of bifenthrin, cypermethrin and deltamethrin in the resistant population of house flies could be enhanced by the combination with chlorpyrifos, profenofos, emamectin and fipronil. The findings of the present study might have practical significance for resistance management in house flies.
There were 2 dosing groups, each consisting of 2 male beagles. Group 1 received 0.5 mg/kg of (3)H-MK-0243 benzoate (1 mL/kg in 5% ethanol ... 0.239 mCi/mg; 98.8% radiochemically pure) on day 1 and 0.5 mg/kg of (3)H-MK-0243 HCl (1 mL/kg in deionized water ... 0.229 mCi/mg; 98.7% radiochemically pure) on day 15. Dosing was reversed for Group 2. Body weights were determined before each dose. 2 mL of blood was withdrawn for drug level determinations following each dose at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48, 96 and 168 hr. Urine and feces were collected for drug level analysis at 0 to 24 and 72 to 96 hr. There was no evidence of drug effects. The mean plasma half lives for the benzoate and HCl salts were 35.7 +/- 3.4 hr and 35.5 +/- 4.4 hr, respectively. The mean plasma approximate area under the curve (AUC) for the benzoate and HCl salts was 4479 +/- 1476 and 4574 +/- 1514 ng/g plasma/7days. The mean peak plasma MAB1a (the major component of MK-0243 at 90 to 95%) levels were ~100 ng equivalents/g plasma, occurring at ~6 hr for either salt. Combined fecal and urine recoveries during the 1st and 4th days were ~40% and 0.01% of the dose, respectively. It is concluded that the 2 salts are bioequivalent in male beagle dogs.
The dermal absorption of the experimental avermectin insecticide emamectin benzoate was studied in the Rhesus monkey. Dermal absorption was calculated by comparing radioactivity levels in excreta following dermal application of the compound with those following administration of an equivalent intravenous dose. After iv administration of 300 ug (3)H-MAB1a (prepared as a 1:1 solution of propylene glycol:saline) to three monkeys, plasma levels decreased biphasically with a rapid decline in radioactivity during the first 15 min followed by a slower decline to background. By 7 days post-dose, approximately 90% and 5% of the administered radioactivity was recovered in the feces and urine, respectively. After a washout period, 300 micrograms [(3)H]MAB1a (dissolved in emulsifiable concentrate) was applied topically to the shaved forearm of the same monkeys. Following a 10-hr exposure period, approximately 90% of the radioactivity was recovered in a soap and water wash of the exposed forearms. Although plasma radioactivity levels generally remained below background levels, approximately 1.5% of the applied dose was recovered in the excreta. Dermal absorption of [()3H]emamectin benzoate was calculated as 1.6%. The low dermal penetration of emamectin benzoate indicates that minimal actual exposure of agricultural workers to this compound will occur.
The aims of this study were to investigate the content of emamectin in blood, mucus and muscle following field administration of the recommended dose, and correlation with sea lice infection on the same fish (elimination study). The tissue distribution of tritiated emamectin benzoate after a single oral dose in Atlantic salmon was also investigated by means of whole-body autoradiography and scintillation counting (distribution study). In the elimination study, concentrations of emamectin benzoate reached maximum levels of 128, 105 and 68 ng/g (p.p.b.) for blood, mucus and muscle respectively, on day 7, the last day of administration. From day 7, the concentration in the blood declined until concentration was less than the limit of detection on day 77. The concentration was higher in mucus compared with plasma (P < 0.05) except on days 7 and 21. The concentration of emamectin benzoate decreased gradually from the end of treatment (day 7) to day 70 with half-lives of 9.2, 10.0 and 11.3 days in muscle, plasma and mucus respectively. The distribution study demonstrated a high quantity of radioactivity in mucous membranes (gastrointestinal tract, gills) throughout the observation period (56 days). Activity was high in the epiphysis, hypophysis and olfactory rosette throughout the study. The highest activity was observed in the bile, indicating this to be an important route for excretion. The distribution study confirmed the results from the elimination study with respect to concentrations in blood, skin mucous and muscle.
Atlantic salmon (approximately 1.3 kg) maintained in tanks of seawater at 5 +/- 1 degrees C were dosed with 3H-emamectin B1 benzoate in feed at a nominal rate of 50 ug of emamectin benzoate/kg/day for 7 consecutive days. Tissues, blood, and bile were collected from 10 fish each at 3 and 12 hr and at 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 days post final dose.

The total radioactive residues (TRR) of the daily feces samples during dosing were 0.25 ppm maximal, and >97% of the TRR in pooled feces covering the dosing period was emamectin B1a. Feces TRR then rapidly declined to approximately 0.05 ppm by 1 day post final dose.

The residue components of liver, kidney, muscle, and skin samples pooled by post dose interval were emamectin B1a (81-100% TRR) and desmethylemamectin B1a (0-17% TRR) with N-formylemamectin B1a seen in trace amounts (<2%) in some muscle samples. The marker residue selected for regulatory surveillance of emamectin residues was emamectin B1a. The emamectin B1a level was quantified in individual samples of skin and muscle using HPLC-fluorometry and was below 85 ppb in all samples analyzed (3 hr to 30 days post dose).
