Objective:
To study the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of syringic acid(SA) in rabbits by HPLC.
Method:
After the rabbits were injected SA injection via ear vein and peritoneal cavity, blood was collected also via ear vein at different time-point. Then the concentration of SA in blood was determined by HPLC and the concentration-time curve was mapped to simulate a compartment model. So the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated out. Several days after this injection, the drug was administered to the rabbits via i.p. and using the same method, another concentration-time curve was obtained. By comparing the AUC of the two curves, bioavailability was obtained.
Results:
The concentration-time curve of SA in rabbits after i.v. fitted in a two-compartment open model and the absolute bioavailability was 86.27%.
Conclusion:
The results were valuable for the clinical application of new anti-endotoxic drug from Radix Isatidis.

The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
