Dihydroergosine pharmacokinetic modelling and simulation.

R Karba, A Mrhar, F Kozjek

European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics

|January 1, 1983

Summary

This study developed a pharmacokinetic model for dihydroergosine (DHESN), showing it effectively simulates drug behavior in vivo. The model accounts for the enterohepatic cycle and incomplete absorption, paving the way for DHESN

Background:

Dihydroergosine (DHESN) is a potential therapeutic agent.
Understanding its pharmacokinetic profile is crucial for clinical application.
Existing data on DHESN disposition is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a pharmacokinetic model for dihydroergosine (DHESN).
To simulate DHESN behavior following intravenous and oral administration.
To assess the feasibility of using analog-hybrid simulation for DHESN pharmacokinetic studies.

Main Methods:

Utilized existing data on 3H-DHESN concentrations in plasma, bile, urine, and feces.
Employed analog-hybrid simulation and identification techniques.
