Abstract:
A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for quantification of aceclofenac in rat plasma. Ibuprofen was used as an internal standard (IS). The present method used protein precipitation for extraction of aceclofenac from rat plasma. Separation was carried out on reversed-phase C(18) column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 micro) and the column effluent was monitored by UV detector at 282 nm. The mobile phase used was methanol-triethylamine (pH 7.0; 0.3% v/v in Milli-Q water) (60:40%, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min(-1). This method was linear over the range of 50.0-3500.0 ng mL(-1) with regression coefficient greater than 0.99. The mean recovery of aceclofenac and IS were 84.62+/-3.23 and 89.19+/-1.57%, respectively and the method was found to be precise, accurate, and specific during the study. The method was successfully applied for pharmacokinetic study of aceclofenac in rats.

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,...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...
Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
