Three different formulations administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg⁄kg were used: (1) LTG suspended in a 0.25% methylcelulose solution, (2) LTG dissolved in a 50% propylene glycol solution, and (3) LTG isethionate dissolved in distilled water. Plasma and brain homogenate levels were determined in order to evaluate vehicle-dependent drug absorption. The results demonstrated rapid absorption of LTG when it was administered as an aqueous solution, in contrast to a slower and more erratic absorption after the injection of either the lipophilic solution or the suspension. A plasma peak was achieved 15 min post-dose with the aqueous solution, with a brain peak being achieved 15 min later, while with the other formulations both plasma and brain homogenate peaks were reached 2 h after LTG administration. This study suggests that LTG isethionate dissolved in distilled water is the most suitable formulation for successful LTG pharmacokinetic studies in rats. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/101110 | ISSN: | 0767-3981 1472-8206 |
