To assess and compare the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of methylergometrine (ME) in men and non-pregnant women.
A cross-over design was used for an oral dose of 0.125 mg and an intravenous dose of 0.200 mg of ME in 6 men and 6 non-pregnant women (parallel-design in gender).
After intravenous administration, the pharmacokinetic profile of ME was described with a 2-compartment model. The distribution half-life (t1/2 alpha) in men was 0.19 +/- 0.27 h, in women 0.10 +/- 0.04 h, the elimination half-life (t1/2 beta) 1.85 +/- 0.28 h, respectively, 1.94 +/- 0.34 h and the total body clearance (CL) 33.2 +/- 11.8 l.h-1, and, respectively, 22.18 +/- 3.10 l.h-1. For these intrinsic pharmacokinetic parameters differences between men and women were not statistically significant. After oral administration, the pharmacokinetic profile was described with a 1-compartment model. The lag time was subject dependent and was significantly longer in men 0.33 +/- 0.09 h than in women 0.09 +/- 0.07 h. T1/2 beta in men was 2.08 +/- 0.43 h and was longer than in women 1.42 +/- 0.31 h (p = 0.012). In both men and women a large variation of bioavailability was shown ranging between 22% and 138%.
This study with oral methylergometrine showed a comparable large interindividual variability in bioavailability in both men and women.
评估并比较甲基麦角新碱(ME)在男性和非孕女性中的药代动力学及生物利用度。
采用交叉设计,对6名男性和6名非孕女性口服0.125 mg剂量以及静脉注射0.200 mg剂量的ME(按性别平行设计)。
静脉给药后,ME的药代动力学特征用二室模型描述。男性的分布半衰期(t1/2α)为0.19±0.27小时,女性为0.10±0.04小时;消除半衰期(t1/2β)分别为1.85±0.28小时和1.94±0.34小时;全身清除率(CL)分别为33.2±11.8 l·h-1和22.18±3.10 l·h-1。这些内在药代动力学参数在男性和女性之间无统计学显著差异。口服给药后,药代动力学特征用一室模型描述。滞后时间因人而异,男性(0.33±0.09小时)明显长于女性(0.09±0.07小时)。男性的t1/2β为2.08±0.43小时,长于女性的1.42±0.31小时(p = 0.012)。男性和女性的生物利用度均显示出较大差异,范围在22%至138%之间。
这项关于口服甲基麦角新碱的研究表明,男性和女性的生物利用度在个体间均存在相当大的变异性。
