OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles of the pharmacologically active primary amine metabolite of sibutramine, N-di-desmethyl sibutramine (BTS 54505) in Chinese origin. METHODS According to a randomized cross-over design, a single oral dose of 20 mg of sibutramine hydrochloride capsule was given to 20 healthy Chinese young volunteers. After dosing, serial blood samples were collected for a period of 72 h. BTS 54505 concentration in plasma was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS Various pharmacokinetic parameters including AUC0-t, AUC0-infinity, Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, Kelm and MRT were determined for both test and reference capsules and found to be in good agreement with literature values. CONCLUSIONS The test and reference sibutramine capsules were bioequivalent.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.

D019540 Area Under Curve A statistical means of summarizing information from a series of measurements on one individual. It is frequently used in clinical pharmacology where the AUC from serum levels can be interpreted as the total uptake of whatever has been administered. As a plot of the concentration of a drug against time, after a single dose of medicine, producing a standard shape curve, it is a means of comparing the bioavailability of the same drug made by different companies.
