Absolute bioavailability of quinidine in two sustained release preparations. 1979

J P Amlie, and L Storstein, and B Olsson, and D Fremstad, and S Jacobsen

The bioavailability of quinidine in two sustained release preparations A and B has been compared in three females and three males with i.v. administration of quinidine. The initial rate of oral absorption did not differ between the two drug preparations; the peak concentration was observed after 4 h both for A and B, but was significantly higher after B. A slower decrease in plasma concentration was observed after preparation A than B. Absolute bioavailability did not differ significantly between A (median values 78.4%) and B (median 87.1%). Drug absorption in vivo was in good agreement with the results of in vitro dissolution tests on both preparations. The slower decrease in plasma concentration found for the new sustained release form of quinidine should be of clinical advantage.

D011802 Quinidine An optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the CHINCHONA tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. It prolongs cellular ACTION POTENTIALS, and decreases automaticity. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission.
