    Notes: Summary An original electron-capture gas chromatographic assay was developed for simultaneous measurement of plasma levels of the benzodiazepine derivative prazepam and of its principal unconjugated metabolite, N-desmethyldiazepam. The assay was used to study the pharmacokinetics of the drug and its comparative bioavailability from tablets and from a specially prepared solution. Nine healthy adult volunteers were studied. Each volunteer on one occasion took 30 mg of the drug in tablet form, and on another occasion 30 mg of the drug in solution. In all subjects, N-desmethyldiazepam appeared in plasma shortly after prazepam appeared and reached a peak within four hours of prazepam ingestion. Thereafter plasma N-desmethyldiazepam levels were much higher than plasma prazepam levels throughout. Prazepam became undetectable within six hours of intake, whereas its metabolite could still be measured in plasma fourteen days after dosage. Thus much of the pharmacological action of prazepam may be mediated through its metabolite, N-desmethyldiazepam. In five of the nine subjects, areas under the plasma level curves for the metabolite were not markedly different for the tablet and solution formulations studied. In the other four subjects the area under the curve for the tablets was 50% to 80% of the area under the curve for the solution. The time to reach peak plasma level for the metabolite was shorter after the solution formulation (mean 2.0±SD 1.2 h) than after the tablet formulation (mean 4.2±SD 1.7 h).

    Plasma levels of aspirin following effervescent and enteric coated tablets, and their effect on platelet function (1982)

    Notes: Summary Single doses of effervescent tablets (1200 mg) and enteric coated (EC) tablets (1300 mg and 650 mg) of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin, ASA) were given to healthy volunteers in random order. Plasma ASA and salicylic acid (SA) levels were measured and concurrent in vitro measurements of the volunteers' platelet aggregation were carried out. The effervescent preparation resulted in peak ASA concentrations of 17–40 mg/l, achieved 20 to 30 min after a 1200 mg dose, whereas peak ASA levels of 0.01–0.37 mg/l were observed 4–6 h after a 650 mg dose of the EC preparation. With all the aggregating agents that were added to the test system maximum inhibition of platelet aggregation (about 50% of pre dose levels) was seen 1.0 h after the effervescent ASA dose, and persisted to at least 24 h, but with the EC preparation not until 24 h, at which time the degree of inhibition was also about 50% of pre-dose levels. A 1.0 g dose of sodium salicylate had no effect on in vitro platelet function. It was concluded that mean plasma levels of ASA of less than 0.25 mg/l are sufficient to depress aggregation by approximately 50%. A low dose of ASA taken daily either as effervescent ASA or EC ASA, significantly inhibits platelet aggregation and so may reduce the risk of ischaemic episodes in susceptible patients.

    Early stage autoinduction of carbamazepine metabolism in humans (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Six healthy young adult male volunteers were given two 600 mg (2540 μ moles) oral doses of carbamazepine (CBZ) 5 days apart. Serial concentrations of CBZ and its 10,11-epoxy (CBZ-epoxide) and 10,11-dihydro-10,11-trans-dihydroxy (CBZ-diol) metabolites in plasma, and daily excretions of these substances and the 2-hydroxy (2-OH-CBZ), 3-hydroxy (3-OH-CBZ) and 9-hydroxymethyl-10-carbamoylacridan (acridan) metabolites in urine were followed for 5 days after each dose. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that autoinduction of CBZ metabolism was present within 6–10 days of the initial drug dose. The mean oral clearance of CBZ increased from 1.48 to 1.74 l·h− (difference 0.26 l·h−, 95% confidence interval 0.11 to 0.41 l·h−) and the mean percentage urinary recovery of the amount of CBZ eliminated increased from 41.8% to 44.6% (difference 2.8%, 95% confidence interval 0.5 to 5%) between the two studies 5 days apart. The data for daily clearance to metabolite and the time-courses of the plasma CBZ-epoxide to CBZ and CBZ-diol to CBZ concentration ratios suggested that autoinduction had begun by the second day after CBZ intake, and involved not only the epoxide-diol pathway but, to a lesser extent, the oxidations to phenolic derivatives.
