Pharmacokinetics of salvia miltiorrhiza injection in rats / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate pharmacokinetics of salvia miltiorrhiza injection in rats. METHODS: A dose of salvia miltiorrhiza injection (standardized as Dhpl 40 mg?kg -1 , iv) was given in rats and plasma Dhpl concentrations were determined by a HPLC method. The 3p87 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of Dhpl. RESULTS: The main parameters were as follows T 1/2? = 0.29 ? 0.23 h, T 1/2? = 1.75 ? 0.99 h, V d= 0.83 ? 0.70 L?kg -1 , Cl= 0.33 ? 0.16 L?h -1 ?kg -1 , and AUC (0-inf) =149?66 mg?h?L -1 . CONCLUSION: Data of the blood concentration time of salvia miltiorrhiza injection can be fitted to a two compartment open model.
