The plasma samples were injected onto a pretreatment column packed with LiChromprep RP2 (25~40 mm) after simple dilution with distilled water. Distilled water was used to wash out protein and other polar components in plasma. After switching, the concentrated lansoprazole was eluted in the backflush mode onto a Shimpack CLC ODS column with methanol 0 2 mol·L 1 ammonium acetate (65:35) as mobile phase. Purge solutions were used for clean up and for regenerating the pretreatment column. The method showed good precision and recovery. The detection limit was 0 005 mg·L -1 plasma. The RSD’s (intra and interday) were less than 2 5% and 5 3% respectively. The method has been successfully used to determine pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole in Chinese volunteers.展开更多

Traditionally, A. annua was used by the Chinese as a tea to treat “fever”. More recently, investiga-tors have shown that tea infusions and oral consumption of the dried leaves of the plant have prophylactic and therapeutic effcacy. The presence of a complex matrix of chemicals within the leaves seems to enhance both the bioavailability and effcacy of artemisinin. Although about 1000-fold less potent than artemisinin in their antiplasmodial activity, these plant chemicals are mainly small molecules that include other artemisinic compounds, terpenes (mainly mono and sesqui), favonoids, and polyphenolic acids. In addition, polysaccharide constituents of A. an-nua may enhance bioavailability of artemisinin. Rodent pharmacokinetics showed longer T? and Tmax and greater Cmax and AUC in Plasmodium chabaudi -infected mice treated with A. annua dried leaves than in healthy mice. Pharmacokinetics of deoxyartemisinin, a liver metabolite of artemisinin, was more inhibited in infected than in healthy mice. In healthy mice, artemisinin serum levels were 〉 40-fold greater in dried leaf fed mice than those fed with pure artemisinin. Human trial data showed that when delivered as dried leaves, 40-fold less artemisinin was required to obtain a therapeutic response compared to pure artemisinin. ACTs are still unaffordable for many malaria patients, and cost estimates for A. annua dried leaf tablet production are orders of magnitude less than for ACT, despite improvements in the production capacity. Considering that for 〉 2000 years this plant was used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of fever with no apparent appearance of artemisinin drug resistance, the evidence argues for inclusion of affordable A. annua dried leaf tablets into the arsenal of drugs to combat malaria and other artemisinin-susceptible diseases.展开更多

In contrast, its metabolism and distribution once being implanted were less documented. In this study, the pharmacokinetics and biodegradation of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC) labeled and muscle implantation administrated chitosan in rats were investigated with fluorescence spectrophotometry, histological assay and gel chromatography. After implantation, chitosan was degraded gradually during its distribution to diverse organs. Among the tested organs, liver and kidney were found to be the first two highest in chitosan content, which was followed by heart, brain and spleen. Urinary excretion was believed to be the major pathway of chitosan elimination, yet 80% of chitosan administered to rats was not trackable in their urine. This indicated that the majority of chitosan was degraded in tissues. In average, the molecular weight of the degradation products of chitosan in diverse organs and urine was found to be <65 k Da. This further confirmed the in vivo degradation of chitosan. Our findings provided new evidences for the intensive and safe application of chitosan as a biomedical material.展开更多

A rapid and simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to determine the ribavirin concentration in human plasma. C18 column was used for separation with a column temperature of 25℃, the mobile phase was ultrapure water adjusted to pH 3 with acetic acid at the flow rate of 1 mL/min, and the detection wavelength was set at 207 rim. The linear range of the standard curves was 50.4-2016.0 ng/mL and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 50.4 ng/mL. The relative recoveries of ribavirin were more than 90% in plasma. The RSD of the intra-day precision was less than 10% and that of inter-day was less than 15%. The pharmacokinetic parameters of ribavirin were calculated by WinNonlin. Results indicated that the two-compartment model was a better model for describing the pharmacokinetics profile of ribavirin than one-compartment model. The AUC0-t was 10807.8 h.ng/mL, the CL/F was 64879.5 mL, and the Cmax was 525.1 ng/mL. These results provided the experimental data for the development of ribavirin dosage form.展开更多

A simple, effective and accurate method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and HPLC was developed for the quantitative determination of biapenem in human plasma. Stability and feasibility of the method was validated through a series of experiments. Using Vitamin B6 as an internal standard, analyte was separated on a Capcell Pak C18 column after SPE on Oasis hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridge. The mobile phase was comprised of 0.05 mol/L NaH2PO4 (pH 5.7) and methanol (98:2, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Ultraviolet absorbance was measured at 300 nm. The calibration curve was linear in the concentration range of 0.04-50.00 μg/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was as low as 0.04 μg/mL. Recovery rates of biapenem at 0.10, 5.00, and 25.00 μg/mL were about 70%. The validated method has been successfully applied for quantifying biapenem in human samples and a pharmacokinetic study of 12 healthy volunteers who received three different doses (150, 300 and 600 mg) of biapenem by intravenous infusion. Our method has featured good accuracy and precision, and the processed sample was stable. Therefore, it can be propagated for clinical use.展开更多

Chromatography separation was carried out using a C18 reverse-phase column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M ammonium acetate-methanol, either for plasma (94:6, v/v, and flow rate 1.0 mL/min) or for urine samples (97.5:2.5, v/v, flow rate 1.5 mL/min). The UV detector was set at 300 nm. The assay was linear over the range of 0.25 mg/L-50 mg/L for plasma samples and 0.50 mg/L-200 mg/L for urine samples. The intra-day and inter-day RSD values were lower than 2.8% and 4.6%, respectively, for biapenem in plasma, 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively, for biapenem in urine. Biapenem was stable at room temperature for up to 6 h in plasma and 8 h in urine when MOPS was added immediately after sample collection. An intravenous single dose of 600 mg biapenem was administered to 12 healthy male volunteers. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Winnonlin with a noncompartment model. The pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained as following: Cmax 37±6 mg/L, t1/2 1.27±0.21 h, AUC0-8h 56±8 mg/L/h, and AUC0-∞57±8 mg/L/h. The accumulated urine excretion rate in 24 h was 58%±5%. The established HPLC method was validated and suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of biapenem.展开更多

However, its clinical applications have been limited by its serious cardio-cytotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the green embryo in the mature lotus seed, on the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The levels of doxorubicin in plasma and tissues were measured using the high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method. The chromatographic separation was completed on a reversed-phase C18 column using acetonitrile–phosphate buffer(30:70, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL /min and ultraviolet detection wave length was set at 233 nm. The pharmacokinetic study found that the co-administration of neferine and doxorubicin significantly affected the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. There were evident changes in area under the curve(AUC), clearance(CL) and t1/2β in group of pretreatment neferine as compared with those in group treated with doxorubicin alone. Tissue distribution analysis showed that the concentrations of doxorubicin distributed to heart, liver and kidney were statistically significant higher in group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin than those in the doxorubicin alone-group at 0.5 h and 2 h after drug administration, respectively. While the doxorubicin concentrations in spleen and lung drug were slightly increased in the group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin as compared to that of group of doxorubicin alone, the difference between two groups were not statistically significant. Therefore, the dose of doxorubicin needs to be taken into consideration when it is administrated in combination with neferine.展开更多

Separation of compound QO58-lysin from plasma was achieved using a reverse-phase C18 column with a mobile phase of 0.2 M ammonium acetate in H2O–acetonitrile(40:60, v/v) with nitrendipine used as an internal standard(IS). The retention times of QO58-lysin and the IS in rat plasma were 3.8 and 5.4 min, respectively. Calibration curve was linear ranging from 0.1 to 120 μg/mL with correlation coefficient(r2) of 0.9996. The lower limit of quantification was 0.1 μg/mL. Accuracy, precision, recovery as well as stability were all within acceptable criteria according to Food and Drug Administration(FDA) guidelines. This validated assay was successfully applied to determine the pharmacokinetics of QO58-lysin administered intravenously(10 mg/kg) in SD rats. The distribution and elimination half-life of QO58-lysin in plasma was(0.25±0.16) h and(2.15±0.12) h, respectively.展开更多

文摘Artemisinin from the plant Artemisia annua (A. annua) L., and used as artemisinin combination therapy (ACT), is the current best therapeutic for treating malaria, a disease that hits children and adults especially in developing countries. Traditionally, A. annua was used by the Chinese as a tea to treat “fever”. More recently, investiga-tors have shown that tea infusions and oral consumption of the dried leaves of the plant have prophylactic and therapeutic effcacy. The presence of a complex matrix of chemicals within the leaves seems to enhance both the bioavailability and effcacy of artemisinin. Although about 1000-fold less potent than artemisinin in their antiplasmodial activity, these plant chemicals are mainly small molecules that include other artemisinic compounds, terpenes (mainly mono and sesqui), favonoids, and polyphenolic acids. In addition, polysaccharide constituents of A. an-nua may enhance bioavailability of artemisinin. Rodent pharmacokinetics showed longer T? and Tmax and greater Cmax and AUC in Plasmodium chabaudi -infected mice treated with A. annua dried leaves than in healthy mice. Pharmacokinetics of deoxyartemisinin, a liver metabolite of artemisinin, was more inhibited in infected than in healthy mice. In healthy mice, artemisinin serum levels were 〉 40-fold greater in dried leaf fed mice than those fed with pure artemisinin. Human trial data showed that when delivered as dried leaves, 40-fold less artemisinin was required to obtain a therapeutic response compared to pure artemisinin. ACTs are still unaffordable for many malaria patients, and cost estimates for A. annua dried leaf tablet production are orders of magnitude less than for ACT, despite improvements in the production capacity. Considering that for 〉 2000 years this plant was used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of fever with no apparent appearance of artemisinin drug resistance, the evidence argues for inclusion of affordable A. annua dried leaf tablets into the arsenal of drugs to combat malaria and other artemisinin-susceptible diseases.

文摘Chitosan, an excellent biomedical material, has received a widespread in vivo application. In contrast, its metabolism and distribution once being implanted were less documented. In this study, the pharmacokinetics and biodegradation of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC) labeled and muscle implantation administrated chitosan in rats were investigated with fluorescence spectrophotometry, histological assay and gel chromatography. After implantation, chitosan was degraded gradually during its distribution to diverse organs. Among the tested organs, liver and kidney were found to be the first two highest in chitosan content, which was followed by heart, brain and spleen. Urinary excretion was believed to be the major pathway of chitosan elimination, yet 80% of chitosan administered to rats was not trackable in their urine. This indicated that the majority of chitosan was degraded in tissues. In average, the molecular weight of the degradation products of chitosan in diverse organs and urine was found to be <65 k Da. This further confirmed the in vivo degradation of chitosan. Our findings provided new evidences for the intensive and safe application of chitosan as a biomedical material.
文摘The clinical pharmacokinetics of ribavirin after a single oral dose of 600 mg ribavirin tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers was studied. A rapid and simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to determine the ribavirin concentration in human plasma. C18 column was used for separation with a column temperature of 25℃, the mobile phase was ultrapure water adjusted to pH 3 with acetic acid at the flow rate of 1 mL/min, and the detection wavelength was set at 207 rim. The linear range of the standard curves was 50.4-2016.0 ng/mL and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 50.4 ng/mL. The relative recoveries of ribavirin were more than 90% in plasma. The RSD of the intra-day precision was less than 10% and that of inter-day was less than 15%. The pharmacokinetic parameters of ribavirin were calculated by WinNonlin. Results indicated that the two-compartment model was a better model for describing the pharmacokinetics profile of ribavirin than one-compartment model. The AUC0-t was 10807.8 h.ng/mL, the CL/F was 64879.5 mL, and the Cmax was 525.1 ng/mL. These results provided the experimental data for the development of ribavirin dosage form.

文摘Biapenem, a new parenteral carbapenem, has been widely used for treating bacterial infections. A simple, effective and accurate method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and HPLC was developed for the quantitative determination of biapenem in human plasma. Stability and feasibility of the method was validated through a series of experiments. Using Vitamin B6 as an internal standard, analyte was separated on a Capcell Pak C18 column after SPE on Oasis hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridge. The mobile phase was comprised of 0.05 mol/L NaH2PO4 (pH 5.7) and methanol (98:2, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Ultraviolet absorbance was measured at 300 nm. The calibration curve was linear in the concentration range of 0.04-50.00 μg/mL, and the lower limit of quantification was as low as 0.04 μg/mL. Recovery rates of biapenem at 0.10, 5.00, and 25.00 μg/mL were about 70%. The validated method has been successfully applied for quantifying biapenem in human samples and a pharmacokinetic study of 12 healthy volunteers who received three different doses (150, 300 and 600 mg) of biapenem by intravenous infusion. Our method has featured good accuracy and precision, and the processed sample was stable. Therefore, it can be propagated for clinical use.

文摘A simple and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of glycyrrhetic acid(GA),metabolite of glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetate,in human plasma.GA and internal standard(IS,thiamphenicol)were separated on a C_(18)column by elution with acetonitrile-ammonium acetate solution(5 mmol/L)(70:30,v/v)after a simple liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate.The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min. They were detected by tandem mass spectrometry in the negative ion multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode with ion transitions of m/z 469.3→355.3 for GA and m/z 354.1→185.0 for IS.The calibration curve was linear over GA concentration range of 0.5-500 ng/mL(r^20.99),with intra-and inter-day precisions(RSD)of less than 7.1%,and mean extraction recovery of 74.3%. The method was used for the pharmacokinetic study of ammonium glycyrrhetate after its oral administration of a single dose of 75 mg ammonium glycyrrhetate tablet in humans.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of GA were as follows:AUC_(0-t) (3457.26±1999.01)ng·h/mL;AUC_(0-∞)(3708.85±2428.36)ng·h/mL;MRT_(0-t)(19.69±4.03)h;MRT_(0-∞)(22.83±8.45)h;t_(1/2)Z (11.71±7.77)h;T_(max)(13.40±4.84)h;CLz/F(29.17±19.82)L/h;Vz/F(487.38±518.07)L;C_(max)(215.85±99.88)ng/mL.
文摘A simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established and subsequently used to study the pharmacokinetics of biapenem in healthy volunteers. Chromatography separation was carried out using a C18 reverse-phase column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M ammonium acetate-methanol, either for plasma (94:6, v/v, and flow rate 1.0 mL/min) or for urine samples (97.5:2.5, v/v, flow rate 1.5 mL/min). The UV detector was set at 300 nm. The assay was linear over the range of 0.25 mg/L-50 mg/L for plasma samples and 0.50 mg/L-200 mg/L for urine samples. The intra-day and inter-day RSD values were lower than 2.8% and 4.6%, respectively, for biapenem in plasma, 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively, for biapenem in urine. Biapenem was stable at room temperature for up to 6 h in plasma and 8 h in urine when MOPS was added immediately after sample collection. An intravenous single dose of 600 mg biapenem was administered to 12 healthy male volunteers. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Winnonlin with a noncompartment model. The pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained as following: Cmax 37±6 mg/L, t1/2 1.27±0.21 h, AUC0-8h 56±8 mg/L/h, and AUC0-∞57±8 mg/L/h. The accumulated urine excretion rate in 24 h was 58%±5%. The established HPLC method was validated and suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of biapenem.

文摘Doxorubicin is one of the anthracycline anti-neoplastic drugs widely used to treat leukemia, liver, breast, and ovarian cancers and other solid tumors. However, its clinical applications have been limited by its serious cardio-cytotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the green embryo in the mature lotus seed, on the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. The levels of doxorubicin in plasma and tissues were measured using the high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method. The chromatographic separation was completed on a reversed-phase C18 column using acetonitrile–phosphate buffer(30:70, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL /min and ultraviolet detection wave length was set at 233 nm. The pharmacokinetic study found that the co-administration of neferine and doxorubicin significantly affected the pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin. There were evident changes in area under the curve(AUC), clearance(CL) and t1/2β in group of pretreatment neferine as compared with those in group treated with doxorubicin alone. Tissue distribution analysis showed that the concentrations of doxorubicin distributed to heart, liver and kidney were statistically significant higher in group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin than those in the doxorubicin alone-group at 0.5 h and 2 h after drug administration, respectively. While the doxorubicin concentrations in spleen and lung drug were slightly increased in the group of pretreatment with neferine plus doxorubicin as compared to that of group of doxorubicin alone, the difference between two groups were not statistically significant. Therefore, the dose of doxorubicin needs to be taken into consideration when it is administrated in combination with neferine.
