Abstract

To study pharmacokinetics and excretion difference of loureirin B (LB) in rats after single oral administration between simulated weightlessness and gravitation condition, a series of test was executed. Rats were tail-suspended for 21 days to simulate weightlessness effect. After a single oral administration of 25 mg/kg LB, venous blood and excretion samples were collected at different time points. Concentration of LB in samples was determined by HPLC-MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters and excretion amount were calculated. Results show that, compared with normal gravity rats, the area under cuve (AUC0-t), maximum concentration (Cmax), time to peak concentration (tmax), volume of distribution (Vd), elimination rate constant (Ke), and biological half-life (T1/2) of simulated weightless rats ware significantly changed. Meanwhile, the excretion of LB in urine, feces, and bile are also up-regulated in simulated weightlessness group, while no obvious differences are observed.
