Abstract:
The plasma concentration-time data of gemfibrozil in 8 male subjects weredetermined after an oral dose of 600 mg.Two-peak concentrations in plasma were observed.A kind ofone-compartment model with two-sites of drug absorption was proposed and used to fit these data。Agood agreement between observed and predicted data was found in all subjects with correlation indexes(γ
2)>0.99.The corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated as follows:
Tmax1,1.10±0.46h;
Tmax2,2.60±0.73h;
Cmax1,13.62±4.30μg·ml

Cmax2,17.22±3.83μg·ml

T1,0.06±0.06h;
T2,1.42±0.57h and
T3,1.79±0.60 h.
