RESUMO
From the angle of dosage form and administration mode to start, the author reviewed the pharmacokinetics of Strychnos nux-vomica and its dosage forms in recent years. The absolute bioavailability of brucine by ig administration is 33.0%-47.8%, and that by injection is about 75%; With brucine as index, strychnos alkaloid by ig administration has the highest blood drug concentration, followed by brucine and nux vomica powder being the lowest; After injecting the brucine or strychnos alkaloid with liposome as a carrier, the brucine bioavailability was improved greatly; In addition, external preparation can reduce the content of brucine and strychnine in the body, which is beneficial to reduce the toxicity; Oral compound preparation extends the action time of brucine and strychnine in vivo, with reducing the peak concentration. However, the pharmacokinetic study on S. nux-vomica and its dosage forms is relatively weak and needs further exploration.
