Abstract:
The pharmacokinetics of tecomin, which is a potential bioactive compound from the flowers of Trollius chinensis, was studied. The results showed that this compound was easily absorbed and rapidly metabolized into veratric acid in vivo, and then the latter was eliminated slowly. In addition, the simulant in vitro gastrointestinal transformation experiments demonstrated that the basic enteral environment and intestinal bacterial flora also contributed to the metabolism of tecomin to veratric acid.

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,...
