It has been observed that MNZ given I/V as a single dose 20 mg/g b.w. in buffalo calves produced CB ther above 0.7 ug/ml upto 6 hr post-administration. 3. It has been evidenced that tk (3) of MNZ in buffalo calves was 155.00+10.58 min while the Cl, value was 4.38+0.23 ml//min suggesting rapid elimination of the compound. The V'd value determined was 0.98+0.09 L/ which indicated its penetration into total body water spaces. 4. Evidence has been adduced that the buffalo plasma protein binding of MNZ ranged between 21.54 to 65.35% at plasma drug concentration ranging from 200 to 25 ug/ml. 5.It has been observed that MNZ concentration in buffalo erythrocytes (6.8 x 109/ml) ranged from 10.30 to 22.74ug/ml at a total blood drug concentration ranging between 400 to 50 ug/ml which suggested significant erythrocyte uptake of the compoundEnglishThesis
