OBJECTIVE To compare the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel with gatifloxacin eye drops by topical application.METHODS New Zealand rabbits' left eyes were topically applied 60 μL of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel,the right eyes were topically applied 60 μL of gatifloxacin eye drops.Tears,aqueous humors and corneas were sampled at different intervals after drug instillation,and the drug levels were assayed by liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer(LC-MS).RESULTS The half-lives of elimination in the tears were 195.3 and 80.7 min,and the AUC0~480 of the drug levels in the tears were 62 385 and 33 280 μg·min·g-1 for the test group and the reference group respectively.The peak levels of drug in aqueous humors were 1.05 and 0.62 mg·L-1,and the AUC0~360 of the drug levels in the aqueous humors were 111.7 and 66.1 mg·min·L-1 respectively.The AUC0~480 of the drug levels in the corneas were 3 435.5 and 1 688.4 μg·min·g-1 respectively.CONCLUSION The bioavailability of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel was increased significantly,and its action time was obviously increased compared with gatifloxacin eye drops.
