Abstract: AIM: To study the pharmacokinetics of different nitrendipine tablets in rats. METHODS: An LC-MS method was established for the detection of nitrendipine in plasma after a single oral dose of 50 mg/kg nitrendipine tablets. Pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated by DAS 3.0 data-processing system. RESULTS: Determination results of the three bulk drug manufactures indicated that nitrendipine form Ⅳ had a higher absorption and bioavailability than nitrendipine form Ⅰ which was commonly used. Pharmacokinetic parameters of the 16 products selected randomly from different industries were different after a single dose of 50 mg/kg. Maximum differences of Cmax,tmax,t1/2, AUC(0-t) came up to 2.5, 24.4, 4.5 and 1.6 times. CONCLUSION: There are differences among the pharmacokinetics of different nitrendipine tablets in rats. Crystal form is a principal element leading to the discrepancies
