ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the effect of oral clarithromycin on serum concentrations of aminophylline at steady state and its pharmacokinetics in New Zealand rabbits. METHODS: The serum concentration of aminophylline was determined by FPIA in rabbits given(po) aminophylline or aminophylline combined with clarithomycin. The experiment was divided into 2 stages: (Ⅰ)the subjects only received a four day course of oral aminophylline until steady state;(Ⅱ)aminophylline and clarithromycin were coadministrated from the d 5 to d 10. The dose of aminophylline was 30 mg?kg -1 and the dose of clarithromycin was 50 mg?kg -1 for each rabbit. The two series of pharmacokineticis parameters were tested by statistic analysis. RESAULTS: There was no significant variation in pharmacokinetic parameters between two stages. CONCLUSION: It is not necessary to change the therapeutic dose of aminophylline when the drug is taken in combination with clarithromycin.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To determine the content of netilmicin sulfate in serum by a high performance liquid chromatography-indirect photometric determination (HPLC-IPD) method. METHOD: The chromatographic system consisted of Soheisorb C18 column and mobile phase of a solution of methyl alcohol-a buffer of phosphoric acid (pH=2.0) (20∶80), that contained 0.5 mmolL-1 of nicotinamide and 0.3 mmolL-1 of sodium seventhalkyl-sulphonate. The detected wave length was 268 nm. The serum simple of 4 patients was determined. RESULTS: The mean recovery of was 93.41% and detection limits was 50 μgL-1. CONCLUSION: The method is constant, sensitive, and has a good concentration. It is good for determination of netilmicin sulfate concentration in serum.
