title: The fate of drotaverine-acephyllinate in rat and man. II. Human pharmacokinetics of drotaverine-14C-acephyllinate.
abstract: Pharmacokinetics of Drotaverine-Acephyllinate, Chinoin was investigated in seven male volunteers using 14C labelled drug. Drotaverine-Acephyllinate was administered at a 100 mg single oral dose. Measurements of total radioactivity showed that the drug was absorbed completely and was eliminated by renal and biliary routes. Within 72 hours 39.9 +/- 9.9% and 47.1 +/- 4.9% of the dose were recovered in the urine and faeces respectively. Experimental results were interpreted on the basis of a complex linear compartment model. The structural identifiability of the model was proved by computer analysis, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were determined.
