MEDICATION (VETERINARY): Amitraz ... is used primarily as an acaricide to control ticks and mites. It is available as a dip for control of canine demodicosis and will also control scabies. An amitraz-impregnated collar is also marketed for the control of ticks on dogs. More recently, an amitraz-containing spot-on product for control of ectoparasites in dogs was developed. It combines the action of amitraz against ticks, mites, and demodectic and sarcoptic mange with that of metaflumizone, a sodium channel blocker, broadening the spectrum of activity by adding efficacy against fleas and lice. Amitraz is not approved for use on cats.

MEDICATION (VETERINARY): A 2.5-yr-old female llama (Lama glama) ... with skin lesions was presented to the Animal Health Center in Seoul Grand Park Zoo, Korea. Mites of the genus Demodex in the absence of other mites or fungi were identified from the lesions by skin scrapings. ... Treatment with amitraz (0.025%) eliminated the mites and resolved the clinical signs.

Treatment and prevention of infestations in dogs by ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes scapularis, Dermacentor variabilis, Haemaphysalis elliptica, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Amblyomma americanum and Amblyomma maculatum) and fleas (Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis). Treatment of infestations by chewing lice (Trichodectes canis). Prevention of environmental flea contamination by inhibiting the development of all flea immature stages. The product can be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of flea-allergy dermatitis. Elimination of fleas and ticks within 24 hours. One treatment prevents further infestations for five weeks by ticks and for up to five weeks by fleas.
The treatment indirectly reduces the risk of transmission of tick-borne diseases (canine babesiosis, monocytic ehrlichiosis, granulocytic anaplasmosis and borreliosis) from infected ticks for four weeks.

In all species examined, urine was the major route of excretion, accounting for 65-84% of the dose (55-76% within the first 24 hr). ... In both rats and mice, increasing the dose of amitraz from 1 to 100 mg/kg bw increased the excretion of N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine from approximately 5 to 30% of the total excretion.

In separate studies, groups of two male and two female beagle dogs were dosed orally (4 mg/kg bw by capsule) or dermally (20-21 mg on an area of 400-500 cm sq) with (14)C-amitraz (specific activity, 8.6 mCi/g). Peak blood concentrations of radiolabel were observed during the first 8 hr after oral administration. About 80% of the oral dose was excreted within the first 24 hr and 100% within 72 hr, preferentially in the urine. After dermal treatment, peak blood concentrations occurred within 24-72 hr, and only 25-40% was recovered in urine and feces over a 10-day collection period, demonstrating the poor dermal absorption of amitraz.

Analysis of urine obtained from volunteers dosed with (14)C-amitraz indicated that the metabolism of amitraz was qualitatively similar to that in the other species. The major metabolites were 4-formamido- meta-toluic acid, 4-acetamido- meta-toluic acid and N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine. In addition, 40-60% of the metabolites excreted in urine were accounted for by a polar fraction containing conjugates of 4-formamido- meta-toluic acid and 4-acetamido- meta-toluic acid. The minor metabolites included 4-amino- meta-toluic acid and form-2',4'-xylidide. Excretion of N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine was dose-dependent. The metabolites identified in the volunteers were 4-formamido- meta-toluic acid plus 4-acetamido- meta-toluic acid (27% of the total radiolabel in urine), N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine (6%), 4-amino- meta-toluic acid (4%), form-2',4'-xylidide (4 %), the product of acid hydrolysis of N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine and form-2',4'-xylidide (1%), and polar material (57%).

When (14)C-amitraz was applied to Boophilus microplus, penetration occurred readily. Cleavage to 2,4-dimethylformanilide and N-2,4-dimethylphenyl N'-methylformamidine and large amounts of polar material occurred. 2,4-dimethylaniline adn CO2 were also produced.

... Pear samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and anhydrous sodium sulphate. Amitraz was found to be rapidly decomposed into four related compounds, of which N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)formamidine (DMPF) was the most abundant and persistent. N,N'-bisdimethylphenylformamidine (BDMPF), 2,4-dimethylformamidine (DMF) and 2,4-dimethyl aniline (DMA) were also main metabolites of amitraz.

In separate studies, groups of two male and two female beagle dogs were dosed orally (4 mg/kg bw by capsule) or dermally (20-21 mg on an area of 400-500 cm sq) with (14)C-amitraz (specific activity, 8.6 mCi/g). ... /The/ metabolism of amitraz was essentially the same after oral and dermal administration. 4-Formamido- meta-toluic acid was the predominant residue in both blood and urine. The parent compound and the first hydrolysis products, N-methyl- N'-(2,4-xylyl)formamidine and form-2',4'-xylidide, were not observed at measurable concentrations in either blood or urine.

The hydrolyzed metabolic products of amitraz include 2,4-dimethylaniline, and N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N'-methylformamidine. These metabolites are further metabolized to 2,4-dimethylaniline and ultimately to 4-amino-3-methylbenzoic acid, the principal amitraz metabolite found in the urine and liver.

Amitraz exhibits monoamine oxidase-inhibiting properties in vitro, but only at high doses does it or its main metabolite (n-2,4 dimethylphenyl-N-methyl-formamide-- BTS27-271) exhibit central; monoamine oxidase-inhibiting properties in animals in vivo. The hydrolyzed metabolic product 2,4-dimethylaniline is a relatively weak methemoglobin formed in dog and presumably man. Topical application of high doses of amitraz in the dog incr plasma glucose and suppresses insulin. Amitraz appears to be a central alpha-adrenoceptor agonist whose action results in diminished peripheral sympathetic tone with a lowering of blood pressure and heart rate. Peripherally, it exhibits both alpha1 and alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist activity resulting in some elevation of blood pressure. The xylene present in amitraz formulations is more likely to induce central nervous system depression.
