ABSTRACT This study of healthy volunteers shows that the relative bioavailability of albendazole formulations that use arachis oil-polysorbate 80 or hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin as an excipient was enhanced 4.3- and 9.7-fold compared to the results seen with commercial tablets. Administration of macrogol suppositories did not result in measurable plasma concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide.

The pharmacokinetic variables of ibuprofen 600 mg were investigated after administration of Brufen and compared to administration of Burana and Ibumetin. The investigation was carried out as a randomized single-dose crossover study in 17 healthy volunteers. The mean maximum plasma concentrations of ibuprofen were 58, 45 and 54 μg/ml after administration of Brufen, Burana and Ibumetin, respectively, the time to reach this being 1.4, 2.1 and 1.6 h, respectively, after administration. The differences between Brufen and Burana were significant. The relative bioavailability was very similar between Brufen and Burana but about 8% lower for Ibumetin and this difference between Brufen and Ibumetin was significant. Thus, different brands of ibuprofen may not be pharmacokinetically interchangeable and the results show that Brufen is superior to either Burana or Ibumetin when considering both the rate and extent of absorption. These findings are clinically interesting since a high and early plasma concentration of ibuprofen seems to be related to increased analgesic efficacy.

Spices rich in polyphenols are metabolized to a convergent group of phenolic acids. We conducted a dose-exposure nutrikinetic study to investigate associations between mixed spices intake and plasma concentrations of selected, unconjugated phenolic acids. In a randomized crossover study, 20 Chinese males consumed a curry meal containing 0 g, 6 g, and 12 g of mixed spices. Postprandial blood was drawn up to 7 h at regular intervals and plasma phenolic acids were quantified via LC-MS/MS. Cinnamic acid (CNA, p < 0.0001) and phenylacetic acid (PAA, p < 0.0005) concentrations were significantly increased with mixed spices consumption, although none of the other measured phenolic acids differ significantly between treatments. CNA displayed a high dose-exposure association (R2 > 0.8, p < 0.0001). The adjusted mean AUC0-7 h for CNA during the 3 increasing doses were 8.4 ± 3.4, 376.1 ± 104.7 and 875.7 ± 291.9 nM·h respectively. Plasma CNA concentration may be used as a biomarker of spice intake.

Zolpidem is a hypnotic agent with a chemical structure unrelated to benzodiazepines, barbiturates, pyrrolopyrazines, pyrazolopyrimidines or other drugs with known hypnotic properties. Zolpidem as conventional tablets is used as a hypnotic agent in the short-term management of insomnia, generally for periods not exceeding 7–10 days in duration. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability, and therefore the bioequivalence of Zolpidem 10 mg test formulation versus a reference Zolpidem 10 mg formulation, following a single dose administration under fasting conditions The study was a single center, open, single dose, randomized, two - way crossover study in healthy male volunteers with a wash - out period of one week between study periods. Twenty-eight male healthy volunteers, aged 20-49 years were included into study. Blood samples for determination of zolpidem plasma concentrations were withdraw at 0 (pre-drug administration), 0.33, 0.66, 1, 1.33, 1.66, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hours post-drug. The zolpidem concentrations in plasma were determined with HPLC, using fluorescence detection. The test formulation of zolpidem, dosed at 10 mg is bioequivalent for primary zolpidem parameters (Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞) to the reference formulation after a single oral administration of 10 mg zolpidem. Both medications are well tolerated with no serious adverse events. Thus, in view of the clinical use, both formulations are exchangeable without restrictions.
