Pharmacokinetics of mequindox (MEQ) and its metabolites were determined in rats after intravenous (i.v.) and oral (p.o.) administration of MEQ at a single dose of 10 mg kg(-1) bodyweight. After both administrations, MEQ and five of its metabolites were quantified, except M4, whereas M1 and M2 were the predominant ones. The areas under the concentration-time curves (h ng mL(-1)) of MEQ, M1, M2, M3, M5 and M10 after i.v. administration were 7559±495, 6354±2761, 5586±2337, 1034±160, 2370±791 and 1813±622, respectively, whereas after p.o. administration, remained as 2809±40, 4361±3544, 4351±1046, 1444±814, 3864±305 and 1213±569, respectively. The elimination half-lives (h) of these compounds after i.v. administration were 3.48±0.80, 4.20±0.76, 6.25±2.41, 4.77±1.54, 4.69±1.62 and 16.89±5.15, respectively, and were 3.21±0.40, 3.66±1.06, 4.20±1.03, 8.91±5.99, 4.20±2.02 and 20.84±10.85 after p.o. administration, respectively. After p.o. administration, the bioavailability of MEQ was 37.16%. The results showed that MEQ was extensively metabolized in rats and rapidly absorbed after p.o. administration.
