Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of disodium cantharidinate on the pharmacokinetic behavior of capecitabine in rats. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into two control groups and two experimental groups with 6 rats in each group. Two control groups were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, and two experimental groups were intraperitoneally injected with Disodium cantharidinate injection of 0.5 mL/kg, for 7 consecutive days. Eight days after medication, control group 1 and experimental group 1 were given capecitabine 5 mg/kg intragastrically, while control group 2 and experimental group 2 were given capecitabine 5 mg/kg intravenously. Blood samples were collected at different time points after administration. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the concentration of capecitabine in rat plasma was determined by UPLC-MS/MS method using tolbutamide as the internal standard. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS Compared with control group 1, MRT0-∞, cmax, AUC0-30 h, AUC0-∞ and F of experimental group 1 were increased significantly, while CLz/F was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with control group 2, t1/2, MRT0-30 h, MRT0-∞, AUC0-30 h and AUC0-∞ of experimental group 2 were increased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Disodium cantharidinate can increase the plasma exposure of capecitabine in rats, improve its oral bioavailability, prolong the average residence time, and reduce its clearance rate.
