Abstract��
OBJECTIVE To investigate the absorption kinetics of fenofibrate nanosuspension in rat intestine��METHODS The intestine of rats was cannulated for in situ recirculation��UV spectrophotometry was used to determine the concentrations of phenol red while HPLC was used to determine the concentrations of��fenofibrate and fenofibric acid��RESULTS The fenofibrate nanosuspension exhibited substantial absorption enhancement in entire intestine compared to the crude drug solution��The difference in drug absorption at concentrations from 50 to 200 μg·mL-1 between fenofibrate nanosuspension and crude drug solution was not significant. Different pH values of K-R buffer had no effect on the intestinal permeability (Papp)and absorption rate constant (Ka)for the two dosage forms. The absorption rate constants (h-1)of fenofibrate nanosuspension at duodenum��jejunum��ileum and colon were (0.373±0.002 1)��(0.329±0.000 8)��(0.362±0.001 4)�� and (0.347±0.007 9)�� respectively��CONCLUSION Fenofibrate nanosuspension can be well absorbed in the whole intestinal segments��The absorption of��fenofibrate nanosuspension in rat intestine is a first order process with passive diffusion mechanism.
