Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of a single 600 mg oral dose of 1-cinnamoyl-2-methyl-5-methoxy-3-indolylacetic acid (cinmetacin, Cindomet) was studied in 8 healthy volunteers of both sexes. Plasma levels of the drug were assayed by using an HPLC technique ad hoc devised. Following administration, the Cmax was reached at the 2nd h in 7 out of 8 subjects with an average value of 18.19 micrograms/ml; 12 h after the dose (last sampling time) appreciable plasma levels of cinmetacin were measured, corresponding to 17.2% of the maximum average concentration. The mean values +/- S.E. concerning the elimination half-life, the total volume of distribution, the total plasma clearance and the total area under the curve were 3.80 +/- 0.21 h, 0.28 +/- 0.03 l/kg, 0.051 +/- 0.005 l/kg/h, and 125.64 +/- 15.97 micrograms.h/ml, respectively. The plasma decay of cinmetacin was monophasic and the data were interpreted according to a one-compartment open model. Overall results indicate that cinmetacin is well and rapidly absorbed orally and widely distributed in body fluids.Pubblicazioni consigliate
