OBJECTIVE To evaluate the bioequivalence of domestic sirolimus capsules and commercially available sirolimus oral solution in healthy Chinese volunteers. METHODS Twenty-two healthy Chinese male volunteers were enrolled and orally administered 5 mg sirolimus capsules or oral solution randomly. The concentrations of sirolimus in whole blood were determined by LC-MS/MS. RESULTS The pharmacokinetic parameters of sirolimus capsules and oral solution were as following: ρmax (26.62±9.97) and (25.28±5.98) ng· mL-1;tmax (2.27±0.55) and (1.91±2.33) h;t1/2 (73.07±13.81) and (65.49±17.00) h;AUC0-t (372.3±146.2) and (368.2±275.0) ng·h·mL-1,AUC0-∞ (466.8±194.3) and (442.3±324.4) ng·h·mL-1, respectively. The relative bioavailability F0-t was (112.4±34.61)% and F0-∞ was (117.2±39.93)%. Two-sided t-test of ρmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ indicated that the preparations were equivalent, and non-parametric test showed that sirolimus capsules had larger tmax than the reference preparation with a significant difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The domestic sirolimus capsule is bioequivalent to the marketed sirolimus oral solution with significantly different tmax.
