The present study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of silymarin 140 mg SMEDDS formulation. An open-label, single-dose pharmacokinetic study was conducted. Twelve healthy volunteers were included in the study. After the volunteers had fasted overnight for 10 h, a single-dose generic silymarin 140 mg SMEDDS soft capsule was administered. Then 10 ml blood samples were taken at 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.33, 1.67, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 12.0 h. The plasma silybin concentrations were analyzed using validated LC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed and calculated. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated after silymarin had been administered as a single capsule. The mean (range) Cmax was 812.43 (259.47–1505.47) ng/ml at 0.80 (0.25–1.67) h (tmax). The mean (range) AUC0-t and AUC0-inf were 658.80 (268.29–1045.01) ng.h/ml and 676.98 (274.10–1050.96) ng.h/ml, respectively. The mean ke and t1/2 were 0.5386 h-1 and 1.91 h, respectively. The silymarin SMEDDS formulation soft capsule showed rapid absorption and high oral bioavailability.

ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetic profiles of azithromycin given as a single-dose regimen (2.0-g extended-release microspheres) were characterized in serum and white blood cells (WBC) and compared with those of a 3-day regimen (a 500-mg immediate-release tablet once daily; total dose, 1.5 g) in an open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of 24 healthy adult subjects. Serial blood samples were collected up to 5 days after the start of dosing for both regimens. Safety assessments were conducted throughout the study. A single 2.0-g dose of azithromycin microspheres achieved significantly higher exposures in serum and WBC during the first 24 h after the start of dosing than a 3-day regimen: an approximately threefold higher area under the curve from time zero to 24 h postdose (AUC0-24) and an approximately twofold higher mean peak concentration on day 1. The single-dose regimen provided total azithromycin exposures in serum and WBC similar to those of the 3-day regimen, as evidenced by the similar AUC0-120 and trough azithromycin concentrations in serum and WBC (mononuclear leukocytes [MNL] and polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMNL]). For both regimens, the average total azithromycin exposures in MNL and PMNL were approximately 300- and 600-fold higher than those in serum. Azithromycin concentrations in MNL and PMNL remained above 10 μg/ml for at least 5 days after the start of dosing for both regimens. This “front-loading” of the dose on day 1 is safely achieved by the extended-release microsphere formulation, which maximizes the drug exposure at the time when the bacterial burden is likely to be highest.
