Pharmacokinetics of Antiviral Pyrimidine Analogs in Rats

흰쥐에서 피리미딘 계열 항감염성 약물의 체내동태

In order to assay the efficacy of newly synthesized antiviral compounds, pyrimidine analogs, pharmacokinetics of those were established as compared with already marketed zidovudine. Zidovudine (15, 20, 25 and 35 mg/kg), LJ142 (18.52 mg/kg) and LJ143 (15, 18.52 and 30 mg/kg) were administered orally and intravenously in rats, blood samples were collected post-injection(i.e., for 360 min) at appropriate time intervals. Those were analyzed by HPLC with UV detection at 265 nm. Pharmacokinetic parameters $(C_{max},\;T_{1/2},\;MRT,\;AUC,\;AUMC,\;Vd_{SS},\;Cl_t)$ were calculated. AUCs of zidovudine and LJ143 following I.V. dosing of $15{\sim}25\;mg/kg\;and\;15{\sim}18.18\;mg/kg$ were dose-independent. However, AUCs of zidovudine and LJ43 following I.V. dosing of $25{\sim}35\;mg/kg\;and\;18.18{\sim}30\;mg/kg$ were dose-dependent. The relative bioavailability of zidovudine, LJ142 and LJ143 following oral administration were 61.94, 46.44 and 78.24%, respectively.
