Sarolaner (PF-6450567) is an orally active and broad-spectrum ectoparasiticide . Sarolaner is an isoxazoline compound which shows efficacy against fleas and ticks on dogs, with a LC 80 value of 0.3 μg/mL against C. felis and a LC 100 value of 0.003 μg/mL against O. turicata
In Vitro
Sarolaner (450 nM-1 mM; 5 min) inhibits CfRDL-A285 and CfRDL-S285 receptors with γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced currents. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Cell Viability AssayCell Line: CHO-K1 cell lines Concentration: 450 nM-1 mM Incubation Time: 5 min Result: Inhibited GABA-elicited currents at both susceptible (CfRDL-A285) and resistant (CfRDL-S285) flea GABACls with EC 50 s of 135 and 136 nM, respectively.
In Vivo
Sarolaner (2.5 mg/kg; p.o. once) shows 100% efficacious against R. sanguineus and D. reticulatus . Sarolaner (1.25- 5 mg/kg; p.o. once) effectively against I. ricinus . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Animal Model: Dog infested with R. sanguineus and D. reticulatus Dosage: 2.5 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; 2.5 mg/kg once Result: Exibited 100% efficacy against R. sanguineus at 48 hours after treatment and also exhibited 98.0% efficacy against D. reticulatus . Animal Model: Dog infested with I. ricinus Dosage: 1.25, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage; 1.25, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg once Result: Exibited 100% efficacy against I. ricinus at all doses until 7 days, and provided over 99.3% reduction against subsequent re-infestations until 57 days at dose of 5.0 and 2.5 mg/kg.
