Methods Scutellarin was given to dogs by intravenous injection and determined by RP-HPLC, the mean plasma concentration-time curve was plotted and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by program 3p87. Resu;ts The concentration-time curve of scutellarin could be fitted to three-compartment model with T1/2 pi, T1/2 α and T1/2 β being 1.05 ± 0.80 min, 6.99 + 2.76 min and 51.61 + 28.78 min, respectively, Vc being 880.1 + 508.3 mL, CL being 189.6 + 53.8 mL@ min- 1, and AUC0-90 and AUC0-∞ being 574.43 + 133.95 μg@ min@ mL - 1 and 599.34 ± 132.00μg@ min@mL- 1, respectively. Conclusion The fact that the concentrations of scutellarin in plasma declined rapidly after the medication suggested that the T1/2 of scutellarin should be taken into account in drug administration and preparation development.展开更多

Methods The pharmacokinetics of rhG-CSFa and conventional (wild type,WT) granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) were investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats which received either intravenous or subcutaneous injection of rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF at three different doses (20,50,or 100 μg/kg). The blood samples of rats were collected at multiple time points (from 0.08 to 12 h) and the concentrations of rhG-CSFa and WT G-CSF in serum were determined with a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For the study of proteolytic rates in vitro,the concentrations of rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF were determined at 3-minute intervals after addition of the respective drug to rat’s whole blood or serum. Results Pharmacokinetic analysis of serum rhG-CSFa or WT G-CSF levels indicated that,at each dose tested,for either route of drug administration,the area under concentration-time curve values and the maximum serum concentration of rhG-CSFa were higher than those of WT G-CSF,and the serum half life of rhG-CSFa was longer than that of WT G-CSF. Subsequent in vitro whole blood and serum stability study showed that the rates of drug degradation in WT G-CSF were 1.8 folds and 1.5 folds higher than those in rhG-CSFa,respectively. Conclusion rhG-CSFa has better serum and whole blood stability in vitro and higher bioavailability in vivo as compared to WT G-CSF.展开更多

PEG30-rhG-CSF and PEG20-rhG-CSF concentrations in serum were analyzed using an enzymeqinked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. WBC, ANC and PLT counts of whole blood samples were measured using fully automated analytic instrumentation. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were calculated using DAS 2.0 statistical analysis software.METHODS Beagle dogs received single, subcutaneous doses of PEG30-rhG-CSF at 100, 200 and 400 μg/kg or PEG20-rhG-CSF at 200μg/kg. PEG30-rhG-CSF and PEG20-rhG-CSF concentrations in serum were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. WBC, ANC and PLT counts of whole blood samples were measured using fully automated analytic instrumentation. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were calculated using DAS 2.0 statistical analysis software. RESULTS The pharmacokinetic parameters of PEG30-rhG-CSF calculated from the serum concentration data determined by ELISA were as follows： the mean elimination half-life （t1/2ke） was 40.6 h （33.5-45.4 h）; the mean time to reach peak concentration （Tmax） was 19.2 h （11.7-24.0 h）; the drug clearance from the serum （CL） was decreased with increasing doses; the peak concentration （Cmax） and the area under the serum concentration-time curve （AUC） were increased with increasing doses. For PEG20-rhG- CSF, the half-life was shorter （12 h） and Tmax was achieved much earlier （10 h） relative to PEG30-rhG-CSF. The AUC of PEG30- rhG-CSF was much greater than that of PEG20-rhG-CSF, and the relative bioavailability with a subcutaneous injection was 158.7%. Administration of single doses of PEG30-rhG-CSF resulted in substantial increases in the absolute The time to reach ANC （ANCTmax） neutrophil count （ANC）. was 72 h. The maximum observed absolute neutrophil counts （ANCmax） and the area over the baseline effect curve （AOBEC） was increased with increasing doses. The effect-elimination half-life （t1/2E） ranged from 60 h to 80 h after subcutaneous administration. The PLT count was slightly elevated 8-12 h after s.c. injection, and declined after 24 h. CONCLUSION The mean elimination half-life of PEG30-rhG- CSF was longer than that of PEG20-rhG-CSF at the same dose, and the other main pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of PEG30-rhG-CSF, including C ANCmax, AUC and AOBEC were much greater than those following PEG20-rhG-CSF injection.展开更多

In this study, the plasma concentrations of sitagliptin, a potent DPP-4 inhibitor, after a single oral dose of 300 mg/kg in streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats were determined by HPLC. A one-compartment pharmacokinetic（PK） model with first order absorption was developed to describe the PK profile of sitagliptin, and the drug concentrations at the doses given in the pharmacodynamic（PD） study were simulated accordingly. The dynamic changes in DPP-4 activity, insulin concentration and blood glucose level in diabetic rats at doses of 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg were measured, and a mechanism-based PK/PD model was established subsequently. In this model, the inhibitory effect of sitagliptin on DPP-4 activity was demonstrated using the Hill＇s function with direct link, and the downstream increase in insulin secretion and inhibition of glucose production were characterized using indirect response（IDR） models. This model interpreted the mechanism of antihyperglycemic action of sitagliptin, and may be modified and applied to other species or other agents in this class.展开更多
