Objective: To evaluate the bioavallability and bioequivalence of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules. Methods:A randomized crossover design was performed in 32 healthy male volunteers. A single oral dose of 20 mg rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules ( test preparation) or enteric-coated shell capsules ( the reference capsules) was administrated under fed conditions. The wash period was 7 days. The blood samples were collected at different time points. The concentration of rabeprazole in plasma was determined by an LC-MS/MS method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 3. 0 software and the bio-equivalence was evaluated. Results:The maln pharmacokinetic parameters of the two formulations were shown as follows:T1/2 of (2. 20 ± 0. 83)h and(1. 951 ± 0. 515)h,Tmax of (3. 88 ± 1. 11)h and(4. 64 ± 1. 504)h,Cmax of (401. 06 ± 170. 75)ng·ml-1 and(394. 63 ± 215.64)ng·ml-1,AUC0→t of (918.42 ±427.39)ng·h·ml-1 and (994.49 ±520.73)ng·h·ml-1, and AUC0→∞ of(937.30 ± 445.13)ng·h·ml-1 and(1 011.69 ±534.77)ng·h·ml-1. The analysis showed that the maln pharmacokinetic parameters of the two formulations had no significant differences(P>0. 05) except for Tmax(P<0. 05). The relative bioavallability of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules was (99. 80 ± 7. 20) %. Conclusion:Compared with the reference capsules, rabeprazole sodium enter-ic-coated pellets capsules show the property of higher dispersion degree, milder influence from food, more rapid release and absorption. The enteric-coated pellets capsules and the reference capsules are bioequivalence.

Objective:To study the in vitro and in vivo transdermal enhancement of one kind of arginine oligomer-chitosan ( CS-R9). Methods: In vitro mouse skin as the barrier, Franz diffusion cells were used to study the transdermal property of tinidazole ( TNZ) solution in vitro enhanced by CS-R9 using TNZ solution as the negative control and TNZ solution with Azone as the positive control. The rats were randomly divided into three groups, TNZ solution group ( the negative group) , TNZ solution with Azone group (the positive group) and TNZ solution with CS-R9 group. At the predetermined time intervals, 0. 5 ml blood was withdrawn from the rats and TNZ concentration was detected by HPLC to evaluate the enhancement of CS-R9 on TNZ in vivo. Results:Compared with the negative group, CS-R9 had significant enhancement on TNZ trandermal penetration in vitro(P <0.05), and showed no significant difference with Azone (P>0. 05). The in vivo results showed CS-R9 exhibited similar transdermal enhancement on TNZ as Azone at the same concentration (P>0. 05), and CS-R9 had sustalned-release property. Conclusion: CS-R9 has promising transdermal en-hancement on TNZ, which is valuable to be studied further.
