To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of propofol injectable emulsion, and to assess the bioequivalence of test and reference formulations in healthy Chinese adult volunteers.
Thirty-two healthy Chinese adult volunteers were recruited and randomly assigned to a fasting. single-dose, two-period and double-crossover study. Propofol was given to eligible subjects at a speed of 30 μg·kg-1·min-1 for 30 min. The concentration of propofol in plasma was determined by avalidated high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometery (HPLC-MS/MS) method. The PK parameters of the two preparations were calculated. Bispectral index (BIS) was measured to calculate the PD parameters of two formulations. Adverse events during the trial were recorded.
Thirty-one volunteers were included in the pharmacokinetic parameter set. The mean values of PK parameters of test andreference formulations were as follows: Cmax were (660.87±110.25) and (683.13±125.75)ng·mL-1; AUC0-t were (473.50±86.03) and (478.40±80.25)h·ng·mL-1; AUC0-∞ were (500.45±96.49) and (507.84±88.00)h·ng·mL-1; tmax were 0.47(0.25,0.53) and 0.50(0.40, 0.54)h; t1/2 were (2.97±1.74) and (3.08±1.82)h. Thirty-one volunteers were included in the bioequivalence set. The 90% confidence intervals (CI) for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ were 92.64%-101.39%, 96.43%-101.00%, 95.67%-100.70%, respectively. The mean values of PD parameters of test and reference formulations were as follows: BISmin were (75.94±13.66) and (74.39±12.32); BISAUC 0-60 min were 5 569.85±182.78 and 5 575.68±166.19; T-BISmin were 23.00 and 29.00 min, respectively. There were no serious adverse events.
Two formulations of propofol injectable emulsion were bioequivalent and both of them exhibited good safety.
