title: Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of suprofen injection solution after intravenous application versus capsules on six healthy male volunteers.
abstract: In a three-way cross-over study six healthy male volunteers received intravenously 50 mg and 100 mg suprofen as a bolus injection and orally 200 mg as one capsule. The plasma level curves could be fitted to a two-compartimental model by means of the computer program NONLIN. The pharmacokinetic parameter estimates did not show dose dependency. The absolute bioavailability of suprofen taken as one capsule was 92.2% based on AUC-values and did not indicate a first-pass effect. The plasma input curve was determined by point-area deconvolution. Assuming first order input a half-life of 23 min could be derived based on point-area deconvolution. Different dissolution models based on USP XX are discussed in relation to the kinetic data generated.
