METHODS: The bioavailability was measured in 20 healthy male Chinese volunteers following a single oral dose (equivalent to 200 mg of ranitidine and 220 mg of bismuth) of the test or reference products in the fasting state. Then blood samples were collected for 24 h. Plasma concentrations of ranitidine and bismuth were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICPMS), respectively. The non-compartmental method was used for pharmacokinetic analysis. Log-transformed Cmax, AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) were tested for bioequivalence using ANOVA and Schuirmann two-one sided t-test. Tmax was analyzed by Wilcoxon's test. RESULTS: Various pharmacokinetic parameters of ranitidine derived from the two compound preparations, including Cmax, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-∞), Tmax and T1/2, were nearly consistent with previous observations. These parameters derived from test and reference drug were as follows: Cmax(0.67 ± 0.21 vs 0.68 ± 0.22 mg/L), AUC(0-t)(3.1 ± 0.6 vs 3.0 ± 0.7 mg/L per hour), AUC(0-∞)(3.3 ± 0.6 vs 3.2 ± 0.8 mg/L per hour), Tmax (2.3 ± 0.9 VS 2.1 ± 0.9 h) and T1/2 (2.8 ± 0.3 vs 3.1 ± 0.4 h). In addition, double-peak absorption profiles of ranitidine were found in some Chinese volunteers. For bismuth, those parameters derived from test and reference drug were as follows: Cmax (11.80 ± 7.36 vs 11.40 ± 6.55 μg/L), AUC(0-t) (46.65 ± 16.97 vs 47.03 ± 21.49 μg/L per hour), Tmax (0.50 ± 0.20 vs 0.50 ± 0.20 h) and T1/2 (10.2 ± 2.3 vs 13.0 ± 6.9 h). Ninety percent of confidence intervals for the test/reference ratio of Cmax, AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞) derived from both ranitidine and bismuth were found within the bioequivalence acceptable range of 80%-125%. No significant difference was found in Tmax derived from both ranitidine and bismuth. CONCLUSION: The two compound preparations are bioequivalent and may be prescribed interchangeably.展开更多

Based on available studies regarding gelatin and vegetable shells, we developed a new type of algal polysaccharide capsule (APPC) shells. To test whether our products can replace commercial gelatin shells, we measured in-vivo plasma concentration of 12 selected volunteers with a model drug, ibuprofen, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), by calculating the relative bioavailability of APPC and Qualicaps referenced to gelatin capsules and assessing bioequivalence of the three types of shells, and calculated pharmacokinetic parameters with the software DAS 2.0 (China). The results show that APPC shells possess bioequivalence with Qualicaps and gelatin shells. Moreover, the disintegration behavior of four types of shells (APPC, Vegcaps , Qualicaps and gelatin shells) with the content of lactose and radioactive element (99mTc) was observed via gamma-scintigraphic images. The bioavailability and gamma-scintigraphic studies showed that APPC was not statistically different from other vegetable and gelatin capsule shells with respect to in-vivo behavior. Hence, it can be concluded that APPCs are exchangeable with other vegetable and gelatin shells.展开更多

Adult male Zucker diabetes fatty rats received Glucophage~? or the generic metformin through gastric gavage at a dose of 180 mg/kg(n = 6 per condition). Both pharmacokinetic parameters(AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, Cmax) of metformin and plasma glucose levels were compared between the two groups. For pharmacodynamics, rats received Glucophage~? or the generic metformin at doses of 180 and 300 mg·kg–1·d–1 for 6 weeks. The measurements included body weight, fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated serum protein(GSP) and serum insulin. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and Prism 7. The level of statistical significance was set at P<0.05. In single dosing experiments, pharmacokinetic parameters(t1/2, AUC0–t and Cmax) did not differ between Glucophage~? and the generic metformin(P>0.05). However, plasma glucose was significantly higher in the generic metformin group at 2 h(P = 0.03) and 4 h(P = 0.04) after drug treatment. In repeated dosing experiments, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR and body weight in rats receiving high-dose Glucophage~? were significantly lower at the end of the 6-week treatment period than those in rats receiving high-dose generic metformin(P<0.05 for all). GSP and serum insulin did not differ significantly between the two groups. In rats receiving low-dose metformin, fasting glucose was lower in the Glucophage~? group. HOMA-IR and body weight did not differ between the two groups. Moreover, blood lipids did not differ significantly between the two groups. The generic metformin used in the current study did not differ significantly in pharmacokinetic characteristics with Glucophage~?. However, Glucophage~? was superior in terms of glucose control, body weight loss and insulin sensitivity in repeated administration.展开更多

文摘In the present study, we aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics between Glucophage~? and a generic metformin formulation in a diabetic rat model in order to assess the bioequivalence of the generic formulation. Adult male Zucker diabetes fatty rats received Glucophage~? or the generic metformin through gastric gavage at a dose of 180 mg/kg(n = 6 per condition). Both pharmacokinetic parameters(AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, Cmax) of metformin and plasma glucose levels were compared between the two groups. For pharmacodynamics, rats received Glucophage~? or the generic metformin at doses of 180 and 300 mg·kg–1·d–1 for 6 weeks. The measurements included body weight, fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated serum protein(GSP) and serum insulin. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and Prism 7. The level of statistical significance was set at P<0.05. In single dosing experiments, pharmacokinetic parameters(t1/2, AUC0–t and Cmax) did not differ between Glucophage~? and the generic metformin(P>0.05). However, plasma glucose was significantly higher in the generic metformin group at 2 h(P = 0.03) and 4 h(P = 0.04) after drug treatment. In repeated dosing experiments, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR and body weight in rats receiving high-dose Glucophage~? were significantly lower at the end of the 6-week treatment period than those in rats receiving high-dose generic metformin(P<0.05 for all). GSP and serum insulin did not differ significantly between the two groups. In rats receiving low-dose metformin, fasting glucose was lower in the Glucophage~? group. HOMA-IR and body weight did not differ between the two groups. Moreover, blood lipids did not differ significantly between the two groups. The generic metformin used in the current study did not differ significantly in pharmacokinetic characteristics with Glucophage~?. However, Glucophage~? was superior in terms of glucose control, body weight loss and insulin sensitivity in repeated administration.
