Study of the absolute bioavailability of citrocard, a new GABA derivative

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2013 Aug;155(4):458-60. doi: 10.1007/s10517-013-2177-2.

Abstract

The main pharmacokinetic parameters attest to short elimination half-life and mean retention time of a single citrocard molecule. The average rate of plasma concentration decrease of the compound determined small area under the pharmacokinetic curve. Steady-state distribution volume was low and only slightly surpassed the volume of extracellular body fluids in rat, which indicated moderate capacity of citrocard to distribution and accumulation in the tissues, which is seen from low systemic clearance (Cl) despite the quick elimination of the compound. Absolute bioavailability was 64%.
