Abstract:
A simple and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method using UV detection is established for the determination of nifuratel in human plasma and applied to a study of its pharmacokinetics. Plasma samples are extracted with ethyl acetate. A C(18) column and a mobile phase of 0.01 M (pH 7) phosphate buffer (KH(2)PO(4)) and acetonitrile (61:39, v/v) are used. Analysis is run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with the detector operated at a wavelength of 367 nm. The calibration curve is linear over a concentration range of 0.2-40 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The limit of detection is 0.1 ng/mL. The mean absolute recovery value is greater than 80%. The intraday precision (relative standard deviation) ranges from 1.89% to 7.32%, and the interday precision ranges from 1.71% to 7.83%. The results show that the area under the plasma concentration-time curve, time to maximum observed plasma concentration, maximum concentration reached in the concentration profile, and elimination half-life between the testing tablets and reference tablets have no significant difference (P > 0.05). Relative bioavailability is 104.0% +/- 16.5%.

Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins.

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's overall...
