Methods Cefaclor pellets were prepared by extrusion/spheronization and coated by Eudragit L30D-55 or Eudragit NE30D, then the two sorts of pellets were filled to capsules in a 35:65 ratio to made a modified-release (MR) capsules. The bioavailability of the MR capsules was studied in 24 healthy volunteers after oral administration in a fast state using a commercially available immediate release (IR) capsule as a reference. Results The results showed that the MR formulation had a relatively good bioavailability compared with the commercial capsules, as well as a longer time keeping drug level above MIC than immediate release capsule. The relative bioavailability of the MR capsules was 97.4- 12.1%. Conclusion The data of the present study indicate that time of cefaclor plasma concentration above MIC can be substantially prolonged if cefaclor is administered as a modified- release product.展开更多

An reversed-phase HPLC method was established for the determination of lovastatin in Beagle dog plasma. Pharmacokinetic findings were compared among three preparation(lovastatin sustained-release tablet,T p; sustained-release capsule,T J and conventional capsule). Our results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters in 6 dogs after single-dose oral administration of three perparations were calculated. T max, C max and MRT revealed significant difference (P<0.05). Relative bioavailability was 111.5±16.9 % (T P) and 110.4%±9.6 % (T J). The pharmacokinetic parameters in the 6 dogs after multiple-dose oral administration of three perparations, T max, C max MRT and DF had significant difference (P<0.05); C av , C min and AUC 0-24 h displayed no significant difference (P>0.05). It is concluded that the lovastatin sustained-release tablet and sustained-release capsule are able to maintain a sustained-release for 24 h.展开更多
