Abstract:

AIM: To evaluate the bioequivalence of the experimental preparation and reference preparation of the high-variation drug abiraterone acetate tablets administered once orally in the healthy Chinese volunteers after taking fatty food. METHODS: It was a randomized, open-label, double- sequence, four-period, repeated cross-test and 32 healthy volunteers were given a single oral 250 mg dose of test or reference abiraterone acetate tablets with a high-fat meal. The blood concentrations of abiraterone in plasma were determined by LC-MS/MS. The major pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with the aid of WinNonlin 7 and the bioequivalence was evaluated. RESULTS:The abiraterone's major pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference were as follows: C max were(238.0±108.6)and(220.1±96.9)ng/mL; T max were 2.0 (1.0-4.0) and 2.0 (1.0-5.0) h; t 1/2 were (13.1±2.6) and (13.0±2.9) h; AUC 0-t were (615.2±226.3) and (589.4±210.1) h·ng·mL-1, AUC 0-∞ were (618.7±227.7) and (592.8±211.6) h·ng·mL-1, respectively. The 90% confidence interval, the geometric mean ratio(T/R)of the AUC 0-t ,AUC 0-∞ and C max, all ranged from 80.00% to 125.00%. CONCLUSION: The test preparation of acetabone acetate tablets is bioequivalent to the reference preparation after diet.
