Objective: To optimize formula of Bixie Fenqing rectal gel and compare its pharmacokinetics after oral and rectal administration in rabbits. Method: Taking appearance
uniformity
viscosity and pH value as indexes
the amount of carbomer 940
dosage ratio of glycerol and propylene glycol
the amount of NaOH were independent variables
uniform design-response surface methodology was adopted to optimize formulation of the rectal gel.Concentration of glycyrrhetic acid in the plasma was detected by HPLC after oral and rectal administration
3P97 software was employed to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior. Result: The best formula was as following: 1.5% of carbomer 940
8% of glycerol and 2% of propylene glycol
1% of NaOH
0.03% of ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate.The main pharmacokinetic parameters after rectal administration were as follows: Cmax of (35.144 7±5.272 4) mg·L-1
Tmax of (27.114 6±13.358 7) min
AUC0-6 h of (5 125.468 5±368.745 9) mg·min·L-1. Conclusion: This established mathematical model has good prediction
the appearance of Bixie Fenqing rectal gel is exquisite
its viscosity is suitable
its main components are absorbed rapidly with high bioavailability.
