To study the pharmacokinetics of atomoxetine hydrochloride and to evaluate the bioequivalence of domestic generic and reference atomoxetine hydrochloride (25 mg) in healthy Chinese volunteers.
A randomized, open, two-period crossover study with a 7-day washout period was conducted under fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese volunteers (24 subjects/condition). Eligible subjects randomly received a 25 mg single dose of either the test or the reference formulation. A serial blood samples were collected over a 36-hour interval following the administration. The concentration of atomoxetine in plasma was determined by validated HPLC-MS/MS method. Noncompartmental model was applied for pharmacokinetic analysis. The geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and the corresponding 90% confidence intervals of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were acquired for bioequivalence analysis.
The pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference capsules under fasting condition are as follows: Cmax are (282.13±91.45) and (271.42±79.44) ng·mL-1; AUC0-t are (2 009.91±1 258.81) and (1 942.78±1 198.58) ng·h·mL-1, AUC0-∞ are (2 051.51±1 306.58) and (1 982.65±1 242.27) ng·h·mL-1. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference capsules under fed condition are as follows: Cmax are (189.26±77.24) and (185.80±63.09) ng·mL-1; AUC0-t are (1 804.43±1 107.08) and (1 740.68±1 003.93) ng·h·mL-1, AUC0-∞ are (1 847.90±1 164.11) and (1 779.44±1 053.44) ng·h·mL-1. The 90% confidential intervals of the GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ fell within the bioequivalence criteria (80.00%~125.00%). No serious adverse event was observed.
The domestic atomoxetine hydrochloride was bioequivalence to the reference formulation. Both formulations were generally well tolerated.
