To compare serum and urine levels of tamoxifen and metabolites after a loading dose and at the steady state.
A loading dose of 160 mg of tamoxifen was given to 14 patients with advanced breast cancer. Thereafter a regular daily dose of 30 mg of tamoxifen was given. Serum and urine levels of tamoxifen and metabolites were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and compared with levels determined in 31 patients with advanced breast cancer at the steady state at a daily dose of 30 mg of tamoxifen.
Serum and urine levels (24-h values) of tamoxifen and metabolites were lower (P < 0.05) after a loading dose than at the steady state. The difference was most pronounced for the metabolites, whereas the tamoxifen loading-dose level was near the steady state.
Tamoxifen steady state can be reached in 1-2 days by the administration of a loading dose of 160 mg of tamoxifen for 2 days. Tamoxifen metabolite steady-state levels are reached regularly after 4 or more weeks during application of a loading dose. Very little tamoxifen or metabolites are excreted into the urine.
比较负荷剂量及稳态时他莫昔芬及其代谢产物的血清和尿液水平。
对14例晚期乳腺癌患者给予160mg他莫昔芬的负荷剂量。此后,每日给予常规剂量30mg他莫昔芬。采用高效液相色谱法测定他莫昔芬及其代谢产物的血清和尿液水平,并与31例每日剂量30mg他莫昔芬达到稳态的晚期乳腺癌患者所测定的水平进行比较。
负荷剂量后他莫昔芬及其代谢产物的血清和尿液水平(24小时值)低于稳态时(P<0.05)。代谢产物的差异最为明显,而他莫昔芬负荷剂量水平接近稳态。
给予2天160mg他莫昔芬的负荷剂量可在1-2天内达到他莫昔芬稳态。在应用负荷剂量4周或更长时间后,他莫昔芬代谢产物可定期达到稳态水平。极少有他莫昔芬或其代谢产物排泄到尿液中。
