Abstract

Purpose:  To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of bismuth from two compound preparations. Methods: This was an open randomized, two period cross-over study on twenty healthy male volunteers. The bismuth concentrations in plasma after an oral dose of the test or reference products (equivalent to 110 mg bismuth) were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). A non-compartmental method was used for calculation of the pharmacokinetic parameters. Logarithm-transformed Cmax and AUC
were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and 90% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: The main pharmacokinetics parameters of bismuth from test and reference drug were as follows: Cmax (36.27±21.80), (35.07±22.84) ng/ml, tmax (0.73±0.31), (0.76±0.36) h, AUC0-24 (135.9±82.7), (133.8±85.7) ng·h/ml, AUC0-∞ (161.7±99.1), (157.4±101.5) ng·h/ml, and t1/2 (10.92±3.10), (11.04±3.14) h, respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that the two compound preparations are bioequivalent with regard to bismuth.
