Abstract：OBJECTIVE To investigate the toxicokinetic and tissue distribution of vitexin in Beagle dogs. METHODS Beagle dogs were randomly divided into three groups, and received vitexin injection at small, medium and big doses of 50, 20 and 8 mg·kg-1. They were given medicine once a day for consecutive 3 months by intravenous drip. The blood samples of Beagle dogs were drawn at different time points on the first and last day of administration, and concentrations in plasma were detected by HPLC method. RESULTS Intravenous drip the vitexin injection at the doses of 8, 20 and 50 mg·kg-1, the blood concentration of vitexin linearly metabolized in Beagle dogs when given medicine for 1, 22, 44 and 83 d. Vitexin was significantly accumulated in Beagle dogs, and the accumulation was disappeared, and the exposure decreased with the prolonged time at the dose of 50 mg·kg-1; at the dose of 8 and 20 mg·kg-1, vitexin did not accumulate in Beagle dogs, and the exposure decreased with prolonged administration time. CONCLUSION There is no accumulation of repeated drug delivery in the Beagle dog′s body by intravenous drip at the doses of 8 and 20 mg·kg-1.
