RESUMEN
AIM:To study pharmacokinetic of Pueraria Flavonid Nasal Drop in rabbits through nasal administration in comparison with oral administration. METHODS:Ten New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups randomly and administrated nasally and orally (106.4 mg/kg of pueraria flavonid). HPLC was adopted to detect pueraria flavonoid content and DAS 2.0 was used to calculate bioavailability. RESULTS:The main pharmacokinetic parameters of nasal and oral administrations were AUC (0-∞)1 =(30.55?4.93)mg/(L?h),T max1 =(0.90?0.14)h,C max1 =(11.27?1.66)mg/L;AUC (0-∞)2 =(6.90?2.76)mg/(L?h),T max2 =(0.63?0.34)h,C max2 =(1.68?0.84)mg/L. Relative bioavailability of nasal delivery was 442.8%. CONCLUSION:Pueraria Flavonoid Nasal Drop is well absorbed in rabbits and has high bioavailability.
