Abstract:
The PK-PD model of (+)-Met and (-)-Met was studied in anesthetized dogs. The plasma drug concentration-time profiles were most adequately described by two compartment model. Significant differences of
Vd/
F,
CLs/
F and AUC between (+)-Met and (-)-Met were observed. The peak times of plasma (+)-Met and (-)-Met concentration in dogs were 24±5 and 30±5 min, respectively. But the peak times of drug inhibitory effects on
Vmax, d
p/d
tmax, LVSP, SBP and HR were about 90~120 min, showing the hysteresis loops. When using the effect compartment model, the counterclock-wise hysteresis collapsed and the relationships between the effects and concentration in effect compartment were fit by using Sigmoid-
Emax model. The
Ce
50 velues of inhibitory effects on
Vmax, d
p/d
tmax and HR of (+)-Met were 250±80, 450±210, 520±210 μg·L
-1 and those of (-)-Met were 70±30, 70±40 and 82±27 μg·L
-1, respectively. Significant differences of
Ce
50 of (+)-Met and (-)-Met were found. The values of
Ce
50+/
Ce
50- were 3.7, 6.8 and 6.3, indicating that the inhibitory effects on
Vmax, d
p/d
tmax and HR of (-)-Met were stronger than those of (+)-Met in dogs.
