Bioequivalence of progesterone sustained release suppository in rabbits / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To study the bioequivalence of a kind of progesterone sustained release suppository, a randomized cross-over study was conducted in 12 rabbits. A single rectal dose of 2.75 mg/kg progesterone sustained released suppository (tested formulation, T) and progesterone suppository (reference formulation, R) was administered; a multiple dose of 2.75 mg/kg was given up to seven times with an interval of 8 h. Concentrations in serum were determined by a competitive enzyme immunoassay. The main parameters of T were: for single and multiple doses, Cmax was 48.8 +/- 11.8 ng/mL and 43.5 +/- 9.4 ng/mL, Tmax was 0.5 +/- 0.3 h and 0.4 +/- 0.3 h, AUC(0-24 h) was 362.4 +/- 143 ng x h x mL(-1) and 310.6 +/- 70.3 ng x h x mL(-1), respectively. The relative bioavailability of T to R were (104.2 +/- 13.4)% and (111.4 +/- 19.1)%, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the two formulations were bioequivalent and T had sustained released feature.

Pharmacokinetic study on lovastatin sustained-release tablet and sustained-release capsule in Beagal dogs / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

This study pharmacokinetically examined the lovastatin sustained-release tablet and sustained-release capsule in Beagle dogs. An reversed-phase HPLC method was established for the determination of lovastatin in Beagle dog plasma. Pharmacokinetic findings were compared among three preparation(lovastatin sustained-release tablet, Tp; sustained-release capsule, TJ and conventional capsule). Our results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters in 6 dogs after single-dose oral administration of three perparations were calculated. Tmax, Cmax and MRT revealed significant difference (P0.05). It is concluded that the lovastatin sustained-release tablet and sustained-release capsule are able to maintain a sustained-release for 24 h.

Our results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters in 6 dogs after single-dose oral administration of three perparations were calculated. Tmax, Cmax and MRT revealed significant difference (P<0.05). Relative bioavailability was 111.5 +/- 16.9% (Tp) and 110.4% +/- 9.6% (Tj). The pharmacokinetic parameters in the 6 dogs after multiple-dose oral administration of three perparations, Tmax, Cmax MRT and DF had significant difference (P < 0.05); Cav, Cmin and AUC0-24 h displayed no significant difference (P>0.05). It is concluded that the lovastatin sustained-release tablet and sustained-release capsule are able to maintain a sustained-release for 24 h.

Bioequivalence of clavulanate potassium and amoxicillin (1:7) dispersible tablets in healthy volunteers / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To study the bioequivalence of Clavulanate Potassium and Amoxicillin (1:7) dispersible tablets, a randomized cross-over study was conducted in 18 healthy volunteers. A single oral dose of 1,000 mg Clavulanate Potassium and Amoxicillin (1:7) dispersible tablets (Tested formulation, T) or Augmentin syrup (Reference formulation, R). Concentrations in plasma were determined with high-performance liquid chromatography. The main parameters of T were: for Clavulanate Potassium and Amoxicillin, Cmax: 2.46 +/- 1.11 micrograms/ml and 18.81 +/- 7.26 micrograms/ml, Tmax: 1.12 +/- 0.23 h and 1.30 +/- 0.34 h, AUC(0-6 h): 5.18 +/- 2.24 micrograms.h/ml and 45.09 +/- 14.53 micrograms.h/ml, t1/2: 1.43 +/- 0.44 h and 1.09 +/- 0.22 h., respectively. The relative bioavailability of T to R were 96.5 +/- 19.2% and 98.4 +/- 26.1%, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the two formulations were bioequivalent.

A Sensitive HPLC Technique for the Quantitation of Dauricine / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To establish the determination method of dauricine (Dau) concentration in rats' blood and other biological samples, a reverse-phase HPLC method was adopted. Under the given condition, dauricine could be well separated. The retention time (tR) of Dau and its internal standard,daurisoline were 9.2 and 6.1 respectively. The detection limit was 10-2 mg/ml. The absolute recoveries of all kinds of samples were above 70%, and the relative ones were over 85%. A good liner relationship has been obtained over the entire range of 0.030 to 3.000 mg/L in blood samples and 0.050 to 5.000 mg/L in other tissue samples. The intraday and interday coefficients of variation were below 10%. The results showed that the method can be used for detecting Dau in all kinds of biological samples.

PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY OF ~3H-BERBERINE IN RABBITS & MOUSE / 中国药理学通报

After ig and iv 3H-berberine in rabbits, the plasma radioactivity-time cure was found to be 2-compartment open model. The pharma-cokinetic parameters were: T1/2B 35 .3?1 .3h ( ig ) and 35.8 ? 2.0h (iv), Vd 20 ?3 L/kg(ig) & 22.1?1.7 L/kg ( iv ) . 3H-berberine was rapidly absorbed & taken up by various organs . The highest radioactivity was found in lung, followed by liver, spleen & heart. The rate of binding with plasma protein was 38 ? 3 % . In 6 d cumulative excretion of radioactivity was 73% of total dose in urine & 10.9% in fe-ces . 3H-berberine was excreted mainly in unchanged form, as measured by TLC & liquid scintillation counting in urine & bile.
