    Notes: Summary The systemic availability of a new antidepressant, zimelidine, and of its pharmacologically active metabolite, norzimelidine, was studied in six healthy male volunteers. Three single doses of zimelidine (25 mg and 100 mg orally and 25 mg i.v.) and two single doses of norzimelidine (25 mg orally and i. v.) were given to each volunteer allowing at least seven days between administrations. Plasma concentrations of zimelidine and norzimelidine were determined in serial blood samples by HPLC. Following oral zimelidine peak plasma concentrations of the metabolite were attained about 3 h after dosing. Oral administration of norzimelidine itself resulted in a plasma concentration profile for this compound that was similar to that observed after oral zimelidine. Utilising the plasma concentration data following intravenous infusion of each compound, the elimination half-lives for zimelidine and norzimelidine were calculated to be 5.1 h (range 4.3–6.0) and 15.5 h (range 10.6–22.9) respectively. The total body clearances of the 2 compounds were similar at 0.52 l · min−1 (range 0.26–0.70) for zimelidine and 0.56 l · min−1 (range 0.28–0.83) for norzimelidine. The substantially longer elimination half-life of norzimelidine was apparently the result of a larger volume of distribution (9.4 l · kg−1; range 7.8–11.4) for this metabolite, as compared to zimelidine (3.21 · kg−1; range 1.6–4.9). The calculated bioavailability of zimelidine was 26% (range 9.1–39) after the 25 mg oral dose, and 29% (range 14–46) after the 100 mg dose. The bioavailability of norzimelidine was 66% (range 36–91). However, oral administration of zimelidine resulted in as much or more norzimelidine reaching the systemic circulation, as the oral administration of norzimelidine itself. This is important as a large part of the activity of the drug may be due to the metabolite.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of pyridostigmine was evaluated after intravenous injection in two healthy male volunteers and after oral administration to five subjects. Plasma concentrations of pyridostigmine were determined after ion pair extraction from plasma and analysis by gas chromatography — mass spectrometry with chemical ionization, using d6-pyridostigmine as internal standard. Degradation of pyridostigmine in vitro was compensated for by use of the deuterated internal standard and by rapid cooling and separation of plasma after blood sampling. After intravenous administration of pyridostigmine 2.5 mg the plasma elimination half-life was 1.52 h, the volume of distribution was 1.43 l/kg and the plasma clearance 0.65 l/kg × h. The pharmacokinetic constants were very similar after oral administration of pyridostigmine 120 mg; the elimination half-life was 1.78±0.24 h, the volume of distribution 1.64±0.29 l/kg and the plasma clearance was 0.66±0.22 l/kg × h. The bioavailability was calculated to be 7.6±2.4%. When pyridostigmine was taken together with food, the time to reach the peak plasma concentration was prolonged from 1.7 to 3.2 h. Bioavailability, however, was not influenced by concomitant food intake. “Steady-state” plasma concentrations of pyridostigmine were measured in myasthenic patients on their ordinary dose schedule of cholinesterase inhibitor drugs. More than a seven-fold difference in steady-state plasma concentration was found between patients taking approximately the same daily dose of pyridostigmine.

    Notes: Summary Previous studies have shown that aspirin interacts with orally administered diclofenac sodium, causing reduced peak concentrations, lower levels and decreased areas under curves. In this study, diclofenac sodium was administered orally and intravenously with and without aspirin, to 6 healthy female volunteers. After intravenous dosing both plasma levels and areas under curves were significantly reduced although none of the rate constants was affected. The volume of distribution of diclofenac was increased as was the plasma clearance. Oral administration with aspirin also resulted in lower plasma levels, particularly peak levels, and areas under curves. Comparison of AUC's for both modes of administration with and without aspirin suggested that lower levels after oral administration were not due to impaired absorption. These observations are best explained by decreased protein binding and increased biliary excretion of diclofenac in the presence of salicylate.

    Notes: Summary Rectal and oral absorption of valproic acid and its sodium salt by man were compared to explore the possibility of rectal administration of the drug. The plasma concentration of valproic acid was measured by gas chromatography after a single oral dose of sodium valproate 600 mg, and after single rectal doses of sodium valproate 600 mg and valproic acid 520 mg, in a cross-over study in 7 volunteers. The rectal dosage forms included fatty suppositories and aqueous solutions. Compared with oral administration, rectal absorption of sodium valproate from an aqueous micro-enema was fast and complete. The free acid was absorbed more rapidly from fatty suppositories than was the sodium salt. The absorption rate from the rectum increased with the dose of valproic acid. Both findings are consistent with a diffusion — absorption mechanism based on the pH-partition hypothesis. Differences in the chemical composition of the fatty suppository base were not reflected in differences in absorption rate and relative bioavailability. No essential difference in absorption rate was observed if volunteers remained lying or sitting during the experiment. Rectal dosing with valproic acid 520 mg dissolved in 4 ml suppositories, twice a day resulted in steady-state plasma concentrations of 50 to 100 µg · ml−1, within the therapeutic range.

    Notes: Summary Variation in the systemic disposition of theophylline after ingestion of a new microcrystalline product (Theolair®) has been investigated in 7 hospitalized patients with generalized obstructive lung disease. Disposition (absolute bioavailability) was determined by comparing in the same patients the areas under the serum concentration-time curves after a single oral dose of microcrystalline theophylline and after an intravenous infusion of aminophylline. Oral absorption appeared to be fast. The half-life of absorption was 19±9 min (mean±SD). Maximal serum concentrations reached after 100±30 min were found to be in a rather narrow range: 9.8±2.5 mg · 1−1. The absolute bioavailability of the microcrystalline preparation was high and it showed only small variation: 102.7±10.2% of the dose. Relevant pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life of elimination, volume of distribution and total body clearance) were determined after both routes of administration. Individual dosage regimens required to obtain a therapeutic serum concentration were calculated for each individual patient on the basis of the observed pharmacokinetic parameters.

    Notes: Summary High oral doses of mebendazole are used experimentally for the treatment of human alveolar and cystic echinococcosis. In order to assess bioavailability of this drug 1.5 g doses were given to 3 volunteers. Measurable plasma concentrations of 17 to 134 nmol/l were found only if mebendazole was given together with a fatty meal. In a patient with cholestasis plasma concentrations were higher than in the 3 normal subjects. In patients on long term treatment the increase in plasma concentration after administration of a 1 g dose varied between 0 and 500 nmol/l. It is concluded that systemic availability of mebendazole is enhanced by concomitant food intake. In view of the large intra- and interindividual variation in plasma concentration, monitoring plasma levels during long term therapy appears advisable.

    Notes: Summary Plasma concentrations and bioavailability of disopyramide following repeated administration of standard capsules and controlled-release tablets have been compared. Ten patients were randomized into two groups; Group I received disopyramide capsules 150 mg every 6 h for five days and subsequently disopyramide controlled-release tablets 300 mg every 12 h for further five days. Group II received the same preparations in the reverse order. There was a more rapid rise in disopyramide concentration after the capsules: the maximum of 10.7±0.6 µmol/l (mean ± SEM) was reached within 1.8±0.4 h as compared to 10.6±0.4 µmol/l within 4.0±0.3 h after the controlled-release tablets. No significant difference in the fluctuations in individual plasma concentrations during each dose interval at steady state were observed after ordinary capsules compared to controlled-release tablets. The extent of bioavailability was the same. Eight patients reported some side-effects during the capsule period and nine during the controlled-release tablet period.

    Systemic availability of orally administered L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patient (1980)

    Notes: Summary Previous studies have suggested that the absorption of L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patient might be unusually efficient. In the present investigation, the systemic availability of L-dopa was examined in 5 elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean age=77 years) and 6 young, healthy volunteers (mean age=26 years) following a single oral 300 mg dose of L-dopa. Quantitation of plasma levels of intact L-dopa was effected by ion-exchange column chromatography and spectrofluorimetry. The L-dopa plasma concentration-time profiles obtained confirmed the considerable intersubject variability in the absorption of L-dopa previously reported in the literature. Maximum plasma concentrations of L-dopa generally occurred within 60 min of administration of the dose. The existence of more than one plasma peak of L-dopa concentration was displayed in 45% of the subjects studied. This characteristic was not confined exclusively to either subject group. There was a significantly larger (P〈0.02) area under the plasma L-dopa concentration-time curve (AUC o ∞ ) in the elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean=234.69 µg · min/ml; SD=84.70) compared to the young, healthy volunteers (mean=82.33 µg · min/ml; SD=31.00). A significant (P〈0.01) correlation existed between AUC o ∞ and age (r=0.7970; n=11) among the subjects studied. The apparent elimination phase plasma half-life of L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patients (mean=66.0 min; SD=11.1) was not significantly different to that observed in the young, healthy volunteers (mean=74.0 min; SD=18.1). These results suggest that there may be an age-related alteration to the disposition of orally administered L-dopa in the elderly Parkinsonian patient.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of sulpiride was studied in 6 healthy volunteers after intravenous and oral (tablets) administration of 100 mg. An open two- and in two subjects a three-compartment model was applied following intravenous administration. The average total distribution volume during the terminal slope was 2.72±0.66 l/kg and total systemic clearance was 415±84 ml/min. The serum half-life of the terminal slope following intravenous administration averaged 5.3 h (range 3.7–7.1 h) according to the two-compartment model. In two subjects the half-lives were 11.0 and 13.9 h when the three-compartment model was applied. Determination of urinary excretion rates of unchanged sulpiride indicated a half-life of 7.15 h. Following intravenous administration, 70±9% of the dose was recovered unchanged in urine within 36 h; the mean renal clearance was 310±91 ml/min. Sulpiride was absorbed slowly, with peak concentrations appearing between 3 and 6 h after oral administration. The recovery of unchanged drug in urine following oral administration was 15±5% of the dose, with a mean renal clearance of 223±47 ml/min. The bioavailability determined from combined plasma and urine data was only 27±9%. The low bioavailability was probably due to incomplete absorption.

    Notes: Summary There is little information about enteral drug absorption during development compared to that about drug distribution, metabolism and excretion. Therefore, the bioavailability, i.e. the amount and rate of absorption of various drugs (sulfonamides, phenobarbital, digoxin, β-methyldigoxin) and test substances (D(+)-xylose, L(+)-arabinose) was investigated in 580 children using pharmacokinetic methods. The amounts of the drugs absorbed, determined by Dost's law of corresponding areas, showed no age dependence. But the rate of absorption, ka, calculated from the concentration time curves using a digital approximation procedure (RIP), is low at the time of birth and reaches adult values after the neonatal period. This phenomenon is identical for all of the substances tested. A prolonged gastric emptying time in the neonate does not seem to be responsible for the delayed absorption since the lagtime is not related to age. Stimulation of intestinal motility with metoclopramide increases the absorption rates, both in neonates and older children, but the age dependent differences remain. Using various dosages of L(+)-arabinose the parameters of the saturation kinetics could be determined. In neonates Vmax values are significantly lower than in older children. Similarly, the affinity constant $$\mathop K\limits^ \star$$ indicates a decreased capacity of enteral absorption in neonates compared with older children. Bioavailability data from adults cannot be accepted without further investigation since the rate of enteral drug absorption depends on age.

    Notes: Abstract The procedure of deconvolution to evaluate the rate and the extent of input from absorption data and data from intravenous administration is the most fundamental and least assumptive method of accurately evaluating drug absorption in linear pharmacokinetics. It is shown for linear systems that if the absorption response and the response from an intravenous infusion or bolus administration are both well approximated by a polyexponential function, then the rate of absorption can be expressed as a sum of exponentials. An algorithm and computer program are presented whereby the absorption function is uniquely defined from the model-independent parameters of the polyexponential expressions fitted to the absorption data and data from intravenous administration. Fitting a sum of exponentials to data has become a routine procedure in pharmacokinetics. The method presented therefore makes the previously complex task of deconvolution a simple procedure. The deconvolution approach is discussed in relation to conventional methods of evaluating drug absorption and appears to have some distinct advantages over these methods. The method is tested using simulated data and demonstrated using pentobarbital and cimetidine data from human subjects.

    Notes: Abstract The gastrointestinal absorption of quinidine from three commercially available tablet products has been compared to that from a quinidine sulfate solution previously found to have 70% of the systematic availability of an intravenous dose. Quinidine gluconate solution was included in the study to compare the absorption characteristics of the two quinidine salts. The tablets were given in a counterbalanced sequence preceded by one quinidine solution and followed by the other in a crossover design. The three tablets proved to be equivalent to one another with respect to extent and rate of absorption. The absorption properties of the two solutions were indistinguishable. The tablets were equivalent to the solutions in extent but not in rate of absorption.

    Notes: Abstract In a single-dose bioavailability study, Wales, Robinson, Columbia, and Choledyl (Warner/Chilcott) enteric-coated tablets all allowed a bioavailability of theophylline (99%±25%, 102%±23%,103%±18%, and 98%±15%;mean±SD, n=12) statistically indistinguishable from that of the standard uncoated tablet (Searle 200 mg aminophylline). Only the Wales and Choledyl tablets (7.6, 4.2 hr) could be shown (p〈0.05) to generate a peak plasma theophylline concentration later than the standard (1.4 hr). All tablet brands demonstrated a significant lag time before appearance of theophylline in the plasma, and both Wales and Choledyl tablets also had a (t peak -t tag )statistically different from that of the standard. Despite misleading indications from the mean plasma profile (plasma concentrations at each sampling time averaged over all subjects), plasma data from the individual participants and in vitrodissolution data show that, while release of theophylline from the Wales tablet might be inordinately slow, this is not a sustained-release preparation. Of the enteric-coated tablets only the Columbia product allowed significant levels in the first sample after dosage. Five of the 18 Columbia doses gave rise to 40–99%of the peak concentration in the 1- hr sample. In vitro,it takes 39±14 min for 40% of the theophylline content of Columbia tablets to dissolve in simulated intestinal fluid. Surprisingly rapid delivery of an entericcoated tablet to the duodenum would appear to be required to allow a significant percentage of theophylline to be dissolved and absorbed before 1 hr. None of 12 Columbia tablets tested in vitro,however, allowed dissolution of more than 0.2% of their theophylline content during 1 hr immersion in simulated gastric fluid. Since once in intestinal fluid Columbia tablets appear to dissolve more rapidly than the other enteric products, it is not clear whether the five Columbia tablets in question had imperfections or whether, in fact, this tablet brand more closely than the others represents the ideal of immediate release once in the duodenum. Plasma samples should be taken as early as 15 min after dosage when evaluating the bioavailability of enteric release products.

    Notes: Abstract The relative bioavailability of ten marketed dosage forms of griseofulvin was evaluated in two separate crossover studies. Each study utilized 12 healthy subjects, with eight of the subjects being common to both studies. Plasma griseofulvin concentrations were determined 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 25, 34, 49, and 73 hr after dosing, using a high-pressure liquid chromatographic method. The “high-dose” study compared four microsize dosage forms administered as 500-mg doses and two ultramicrosize formulations given as 250-mg doses. The “low-dose” study employed four 250-mg microsize products and two 125-mg ultramicrosize products. The individual plasma level-time profiles for the majority of doses suggested prolonged absorption of microsize griseofulvin. The ultramicrosize dosage forms exhibited peak concentrations which were not significantly different (p〉0.05) from those of the microsize products administered as twice the dose. In the high-dose study, the two 250-mg ultramicrosize dosage forms exhibited areas under the plasma level-time curve (AUC) which were significantly (p〈0.05) less than the AUCs for all but one of the 500-mg microsize products. In the low-dose study the AUCs for the ultramicrosize products were significantly lower than the AUCs for all of the microsize dosage forms. Significant differences were also noted among the AUCs for the microsize products, although the maximum difference was less than 20% in both studies. A comparison of the AUCs observed in the high- and low-dose studies revealed that the AUCs for two of the 500-mg microsize dosage forms were only approximately 75% the AUC predicted from the 250-mg dose for the eight subjects common to both studies. All other formulations exhibited a dose proportionality for AUC.

    Notes: Abstract Absorption of theophylline from three commercial products labeled as sustained release was compared to the absorption from a standard uncoated tablet (Searle 200-mg aminophylline tablet) in a single-dose study. Aminodur tablets (Cooper) and Slophyllin Gyrocap capsules (Dooner) had bioavailability (100.2%±19.8% and 98.5%±13.8%) statistically indistinguishable from that of the standard but showed significantly slower absorption (peak times of 10,4±2.8 and 4.36±1.35 hr) and lower peak plasma concentrations (13.9±4.5 and 22.6±3.5gmg/ml/g dose) than the standard (t peak ,1.52±0.45 hr; Cpeak,28.l±6.2μg/ml/g dose). The time of the plasma concentration peak (2.47±1.38 hr) after a dose of Tedral S.A. (Warner/Chilcott) was not statistically different from that after the standard, but both the peak concentration (16.0±3.9 gmg/ml/g dose) and bioavailability (76.0±18.4%) were. Multiple-dose projections from single-dose data indicate that of the three test products only Aminodur maintains reasonably constant interdose plasma levels during 12 hourly dosing. With an 8 hourly dosing schedule Gyrocaps also might be satisfactory. Reasonable predictions of the plasma concentrations arising from Aminodur doses have been made using a single-compartment body model and assuming input from an outer followed by an inner layer of the tablet. Typically a single dose of a preparation designed for constant release of drug over 12 hr should not produce a plasma concentration plateau in subjects with an average 6.1-hr drug half-life. The apparent plateau in the mean plasma profile (i.e., concentrations at each sampling time averaged over all subjects) for Aminodur doses is evaluated. The interpretation commonly being implied in the publication of mean profiles from bioavailability studies is misleading, particularly when applied to sustained-release preparations.
