The influence of active secretion processes on intestinal absorption of salbutamol in the rat.
2001
Abstract Salbutamol was perfused in the small intestine of rat using a standard rat gut ‘in situ’ preparation: (1) in inhibitor-free solution at seven different concentrations (0.15, 0.29, 1.20, 5.0, 9.0, 13.0 and 18.0 mM); (2) at a 0.29 mM concentration – thought to be close to the allometric dose in man – in the presence of a non-specific enzyme inhibitor, sodium azide (0.3, 3.0 and 6.0 mM); and (3) at 0.29 mM in the presence of a selective secretion inhibitor, verapamil (10.0 and 20.0 mM). In free solution, the mixed-order rate constants, k ′ a , of salbutamol increase as the solute concentration increases until an apparent asymptotic value is reached. This could be due to the saturation…
Modelling intestinal absorption of salbutamol sulphate in rats
2005
The objective was to develop a semiphysiological population pharmacokinetic model that describes the complex salbutamol sulphate absorption in rat small intestine. In situ techniques were used to characterize the salbutamol sulphate absorption at different concentrations (range: 0.15-18 mM). Salbutamol sulphate at concentration of 0.29 mM was administered in presence of verapamil (10 and 20 mM), grapefruit juice and sodium azide (NaN3) (0.3, 3 and 6 mM). Different pharmacokinetic models were fitted to the dataset using NONMEM. Parametric and non-parametric bootstrap analyses were employed as internal model evaluation techniques. The validated model suggested instantaneous equilibrium betwee…
