Abstract:
A new capillary GLC method for the determination of tolperisone in human plasma was developed. Pharmacokinetic and comparative bioavailability studies were carried out after i.v. administration and after oral administration of two different preparations of tolperisone. After i.v. administration of the drug the elimination half-life was found to be 1.55 +/- 0.7 h (mean +/- S.D.), the apparent volume of distribution to be 5.1 +/- 1.0 l/kg (mean +/- S.D.) and total body clearance to be 140.8 +/- 33.8 l/h (mean +/- S.D.). The oral bioavailability was found to be 22.3 +/- 6.3% for Mydeton tablets and 16.7 +/- 8.9% for Mydocalm tablets. There was no significant difference between the bioavailability of two oral tablets.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
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,...
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...
