OBJECTIVETo construct the ferulic acid loaded chitosan microspheres containing liposomes.
METHODFerulic acid was selected to be the model drug. Liposomes were prepared by calcium acetate gradient method. The entrapment efficiency of liposomes was(79.97 +/- 0.54)%, the average size was (187.6 +/- 11.9) nm and the Zeta potential was -12.67 +/-1.78. The chitosan microspheres, whose entrapment efficiency was (57.89 +/- 1.72)%, were prepared by onic gelation method after liposomes were mixed with chiotosan solution. Ferulic acid was entrapped in liposomes in amorphous form and then liposomes were distributed in microspheres intactly.
RESULTThe 80.97% liposomes were released from microspheres and the 32.33% ferulic acid was released from microspheres at 12 h, which was much slower than simple chitosan microspheres.
CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrated that chitosan microspheres containing liposomes have good sustained-releasing property in vitro.

In this paper, the pharmacokinetics of ferulic acid loaded liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres was investigated. Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly. Each group was administered orally of ferulic acid, ferulic acid loaded chitosan microspheres and ferulic acid loaded liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres, respectively. Then blood samples were obtained from fossa orbitalis at different time points. The concentration of ferulic acid in blood was analyzed by a HPLC method using coumarin as internal standard. The data were analyzed by DAS program. The t(max), MRT and t(1/2beta) of liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres were 2.500, 7.487 and 7.818 h, respectively, which were much longer than crude drug and chitosan microspheres. This results demonstrated that liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres had better sus-tained-releasing property. The AUC of liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres was 6.08 times higher than crude drug and 1.21 times higher than chitosan microspheres, which verified that liposome-in-chitosan-microspheres could enhance oral absorption.

OBJECTIVETo study the pharmacokinetics of single administration and different compatibility of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) in rats.
METHODThirty two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the TMP (30 mg x kg(-1)) group, the TMP+FA (30 mg x kg(-1) + 50 mg x kg(-1)) group, the TMP+TET (30 mg x kg(-1) mg x kg(-1)) group and the TMP+FA+TET (30 mg x kg(-1) + 50 mg x kg(-1) + 20 mg x kg(-1)) group. After the oral administration, their blood samples were collected to detect plasmas concentrations by HPLC method and to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters DAS 2.0 program.
RESULTIn compatibility with FA, AUC(0-t), Cmax and Tmax showed no significant difference with the single administration of TMP, but t(1/2) and MRT,, were obviously longer than the single administration. In compatibility with TET and FA + TET, AUC (0-t), Cmax and Tmax showed significant increase than the single administration of TMP, whereas t(1/2) and MRT0, did not notably vary from the single administration.
CONCLUSIONFA can prolong TMP's action time in rats, and TET can accelerate TMP's absorption in rats.

The valaciclovir was used as the model drug, the bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA-NP) were prepared by desolvation process. Glycyrrhizin (GL) was oxidized by sodium periodate to be conjugated to surface reactive amino groups (SRAG) of the VACV-BSA-NP. Gel filtration method combined with HPLC method verified that GL was covalent coupling to the surface of VACV-BSA-NP with mean 9 GL residues per albumin molecule. The mean diameter of the VACV-BSA-NP-GL was 268 +/- 23 nm, the drug loading was 1.35%, and embedding ratio was 68.76%. The characteristics of release in vitro were in accord with two-phase kinetics. The uptake amount of VACV-BSA-NP-GL by primary cultured rat hepatocytes in vitro was higher, compared to the control-VACV-BSA-NP. 69.89% and 64.82% of the VACV were concentrated in liver at 15 min after i.v. VACV-BSA-NP-GL and VACV-BSA-NP, respectively. There is a significant difference between surface-modified group and control group (P<0.10). VACV-BSA-NP-GL was successfully prepared, which is considered to be a novel drug delivery system for targeting to hepatocytes.
