Summary The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of 3 oral dyphylline preparations, solution (S), regular (R) and sustained release (SR), were studied in 8 healthy subjects (mean age 25 years). A single dose of each preparation, 20 mg·kg−1, was given at one week intervals and multiple serum samples obtained over 24 h. Drug levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. No adverse effects were found. The dyphylline half-life for the solution was 2.16±0.18 h and for the tablet 2.59±0.56 h. The mean clearance rate for S was 13.6±1.7 h−1 and volume of distribution 43.0±3.91. Peak concentration (Cmax, µg·ml−1), time of peak (Tmax, h), area under the curve (AUC, µg·ml−1·h) and relative bioavailability (RB, %), were determined for three preparations: The data confirm the short half-life of dyphylline, demonstrate a lack of toxicity for the 20 mg·kg−1 dose and establish bioequivalence for the products studied.
