167 DELTAMETHRIN (135) First draft prepared by Dugald MacLachlan, Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Australia EXPLANATION Deltamethrin has been evaluated several times since the initial evaluation in 1980. It was last evaluated in 1992 for residues and in 2000 for toxicology. At the 30th Session of the CCPR, the Committee noted that deltamethrin was on the agenda of the 52nd JECFA (1999). At the 31st Session of the CCPR, the committee noted the MRLs estimated by JECFA for veterinary uses would be circulated for comments at step 3, through CL-RVDF, governments were invited to co-ordinate their comments at the national level. Deltamethrin was identified as a priority compound under the Periodic Re-evaluation Program at the 29th Session of the CCPR and scheduled for the 2002 JMPR. Data to support the existing CXLs and other critical data required for the estimation of MRLs have been provided by the company. The governments of Australia, The Netherlands, Poland and Germany have submitted information on national GAP and/or residue data.

The metabolism of laboratory animals was reported by the 2000 JMPR as part of a review of the toxicology of deltamethrin and is qualitatively the same as for farm animals. To carry out various metabolism, degradation and toxicological or ecotoxicological studies, the deltamethrin molecule has been labelled on various carbon atoms: [14C-dibromovinyl]deltamethrin labelled on Cv [14C-benzyl]deltamethrin labelled on Cα [14C-cyano]deltamethrin labelled on CN 14 [ C-gem-dimethyl]deltamethrin labelled on (CH3)2 170 deltamethrin 14Cα 14Cv 5 4' Br 3R 1R OαS 3 O * * 2' 2 Br O CN ** * 14CN 14C gem-dimethyl The following Table shows the main degradation products of deltamethrin and the abbreviations used for some metabolites.

Lactating cows. Akhtar et al. (1986) dosed a lactating dairy Holstein 557 kg bw and an Ayrshire 504 kg bw cow with [14C]deltamethrin (gem-dimethyl or benzyl) at 10 mg/kg bw/day for 3 consecutive days. Urine and faeces were collected for each 24-hour period and milk twice daily. The animals were slaughtered 24 hours after the last dose. Radioactivity in all samples was quantified and characterized by TLC and GC. Deltamethrin appeared to be poorly absorbed and mainly eliminated in the faeces (cumulative total 36-43% of the administered dose) within 24 hours of the last dose as deltamethrin(s); 78-82% of 172 deltamethrin the 14C in faeces. The cumulative total for elimination in the urine until 24 hours after the last dose was only 4-6 % of the administered 14C, and 0.42-1.6 % was secreted in the milk. Total deltamethrins were also the major identifiable products in milk (0.10-0.14 mg/kg). The radiocarbon content in various tissues was generally very low (<0.1 mg/kg deltamethrin equivalents) with the exception of liver, kidney, udder, and abdominal and subcutaneous fats. Table 4.
