Abstract:
Dauricine is a phenolic alkaloid isolated from
Menispermum dauricum D C. In animal experiments dauricine showed an efficient hypotensive action. The pharmacokinetic of dauricine was studied in rabbits. A method was developed for the isolation of dauricine from biological specimens and its quantitative determination was done by Al
2O
3 G TLC and CS-910 Densitometry.The results showed that the logarithm of drug concentration in plasma versus time curve after intravenous administration was fitted to a two-compartment open model with first order elimination. The phamarcokinetic paramenters are as follow:t
1/2α 0.1708 h, t
1/2β 6.506 h, V
c 8.56 L/kg, V
d 46.09 L/kg, K
21 0.9257 h
-1, K
10 0.5834 h
-1, TBCI 81.92 ml/min.
