Lignocaine kinetics in the rat.

S Supradist, L J Notarianni, P N Bennett

    The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigated lignocaine (a local anesthetic) pharmacokinetics in rats. Lignocaine exhibited linear pharmacokinetics and high hepatic extraction, with low systemic availability, independent of dose for both intravenous and oral administration.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Drug Metabolism

    Background:

    • Lidocaine (lignocaine) is a widely used local anesthetic.
    • Understanding its pharmacokinetic profile is crucial for safe and effective clinical use.
    • Previous studies have suggested potential dose-dependent effects in some species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the pharmacokinetic behavior of lignocaine following intravenous and oral administration in rats.
    • To determine the systemic availability and hepatic extraction of lignocaine.
    • To assess the dose-dependency of lignocaine pharmacokinetics in rats.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats received intravenous lignocaine (2.5-10 mg/kg) or oral lignocaine (50-90 mg/kg).
    • Blood samples were analyzed for lignocaine concentrations over time.
    • Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a two-compartment open model.
    • Systemic availability and clearance were determined.

    Main Results:

    • Lignocaine exhibited bi-exponential decline after IV injection and linear concentration-time profiles after oral administration.
    • Pharmacokinetics were dose-independent within the studied ranges for both routes.
    • Systemic availability was low (0.019) and comparable to isolated liver models.
    • High hepatic extraction was indicated, with clearance correlating to liver blood flow.

    Conclusions:

    • Lignocaine demonstrates linear pharmacokinetics and high hepatic extraction in rats.
    • Systemic availability is low and not dose-dependent within the tested range.
    • These findings suggest intact rat liver efficiently clears lignocaine, similar to in vitro models.
