Application of a generic PBK model for beef cattle : Tissue/fluid correlations of paracetamol and NSAIDs

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol can be administered off-label to cattle. Since the use of these veterinary medicines in cattle may pose a public health risk after meat consumption, it is important to translate measured concentrations in urine and tissues into concentrations in meat for human consumption. A generic physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) model for cattle can enable this translation. In this work, a beef cattle PBK model was applied to calculate the relationships between concentrations in different bovine tissues and those were compared to measured concentrations in different matrices. Sixty-seven kidney samples, the corresponding urine and meat samples, and available 19 serum samples were analysed. Overall, 70% of the PBK model predictions are within a 2-fold factor and relationships for kidney/meat, urine/meat, and plasma/meat ratios were established. The conversions of measured kidney concentrations into meat concentrations were mostly within a factor two, while those based on plasma and urine were underpredicted. Based on these ratios, plasma and urine could be used as an appropriate surrogate matrix for a fast, simple in vivo sample screening test under field conditions, such as in local farms and slaughterhouses, to predict a maximum residue level exceedance in meat, reducing the number of test samples.
