OBJECTIVE Sitafloxacin is a new fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, including grampositive and gram-negative bacteria. This study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of a single dose of sitafloxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers. METHODS This was a single-center, open-label, randomized-sequence study conducted in 12 subjects. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive single doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg of sitafloxacin in a 3-way crossover design with a 7-day washout period between administrations. Quantification was carried out using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed statistically. Safety assessments were conducted throughout the study. RESULTS After administration of single doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg, geometric mean estimate for sitafloxacin Cmax were 0.72, 1.62, and 2.73 μg/mL and the mean of AUClast were 3.97, 8.71, and 18.03 μg x h/mL, respectively. Sitafloxacin was rapidly absorbed, reaching Cmax ranged from 0.85 to 1.21 hours. The terminal half-life ranged from 5.19 to 6.28 hours. The Cmax and AUC last were proportional to the doses. The mean clearance, the half-life, and the volume of distribution were constant, irrespective of the dose. CONCLUSIONS In healthy Chinese subjects, single dosing of sitafloxacin resulted in linear plasma pharmacokinetics.

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.
