Abstract:
Objective To investigate the intestinal absorption kinetics of breviscapine in rats.MethodsThe intestinal absorption in small intestine and colon of rats in situ was investigated using circular perfusion and HPLC methods.The in situ absorption of scutellarin in the small intestine was studied and the effects on the intestinal absorption were observed at the various concentrations and different pH values using the same methods.Results The results showed that there were significant differences in both absorptive percentage and absorption rate constant(ka)in the small intestine between the experimental groups of rats with and without bile duct being ligated.The absorption rate constants in small intestine and colon were(0.107 1?0.013 0)and(0.070 7?0.008 9)h-1,respectively.No saturation phenomenon occurred and ka was almost kept unchanged at different concentrations of breviscapine.The absorption of breviscapine was not influenced by pH values ranging from 6.0 to 7.4.Conclusion The results indicates that breviscapine is absorbed more in small intestine than in colon.The absorption of breviscapine complied with the passive diffusion mechanism and first order kinetics.In conclusion,these results suggest that breviscapine could be prepared in oral sustained-release dosage form.
