[ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY OF GLUTARON--A NEW DERIVATIVE OF GLUTAMIC ACID]
Abstract:
The pharmacokinetics of studies of 3-phenylglutamic acid hydrochloride (glutaron) has been studied in rats. The main pharmacokinetic parameters show low values of the half-life (T1/2 = 3.75 h), mean retention time in the body (MRT = 5.77 h). The medium rate of drug concentration decrease in the blood plasma leads to a low value of the area under pharmacokinetic curve (AUC = 41.18 mg · h/mL). The general volume of distribution (Vd = 3.42 L/kg) is 3.5 times greater than the volume of extracellular fluid in the rat body. These data indicate a high ability of the glutaron to be distributed and accumulated in animal tissues. The value of absolute bioavailability is 84%, and the relative bioavailabity is 100%.
