Intestinal Absorption of Roxatidine Acetate Hydrochloric in Rats / 医药导报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore absorption kinetics of roxatidine acetate hydrochloric (ROX) in intestine of rats.Methods The absorption kinetics and permeability of ROX under different concentrations and different intestinal segments were investigated by double wavelength spectrophotometry via the in situ perfusing method in rats.Results There was no significant difference in Ka of ROX under different concentrations.The absorption rate in rats descended in order of duodenum,jejunum,ileum and colon [(3.87±0.12)×10-2,(2.53±0.18)×10-2,(1.43-±0.10)×10-2,(0.91±0.15)×10-2 · h-1].Conclusion The absorption of ROX in intestine complies with the passive transport mechanism and first order kinetics.ROX is well absorbed in thewhole intestine.
