RESUMO
Aim To prepare the novel pyridostigmine bromide nanoemusion(PPNE)and study its release in vitro, and to investigate the intestinal absorption. Methods Pyridostigmine bromide (PB)and PPNE were tested by HPLC in pH 1 .2 HCl,pH 6.8,pH 7.4,pH 7.8 PBS.Rat single pass intestinal perfusion method was employed to investigate the absorption mechanism of PB and PPNE.Results PB release rate was faster than PB in the four release media;the intes-tinal absorption rate constant(Ka )and apparent perme-ability coefficient(Papp)of PPNE were increased in the duodenum,jejunum,ileum and colon segments.PB and PPNE had significant difference in the duodenum, jejunum,ileum and colon segments by t test (P <0.05).Conclusions PPNE can improve the bioavail-ability of drugs,increase the drugs permeability,sig-nificantly improve the absorption of the drugs in the in-testinal segments. PPNE has obviously sustained effects.
