Pharmacokinetic properties of an innovative nootropic agent based on a derivative of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane
The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of a derivative of 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane exhibiting a nootropic effect, were studied after a single dose to rats. The pharmacokinetics of the compound was studied after oral and intravenous administration to 270 male rats Sprague Dawley at doses of 2.5 mg/kg, 13 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg. Its distribution in organs and tissues (brain, thymus, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen) was also investigated. It was found that after a single intravenous administration, the investigated substance was determined in the blood of animals for 24 h; the half-life was 4.69 h. The relative bioavailability of the 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivative after oral administration was 42.3%, thus suggesting the prospect of creating dosage forms for oral administration. After a single oral administration, the dose dependence of AUC0-t was exponential. The substance is characterized by heterogeneous distribution in the body with preferential accumulation mainly in well-vascularized tissues.
