Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To prepare the Levetiracetam extended-release tablet and investigate its pharmacokinetics in Beagle dogs and
in vitro release.
METHODS Prearation of Levetiracetam extended-release tablet according to optimized prescription, choosed sell products(Keppra-XR) as reference products, evaluation of
in vitro release behavior similarity by the similar factor(
f2). The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared between the self-made extended-release tablet and the sell tablet.
RESULTS The self-made extended-release tablet was similar to the reference products
in vitro release,
Tmax of reference products and self-made extended-release tablet were (1.75±0.50) and (5.50±1.00) h,
Cmax were (30.33±2.00) and (17.29±3.56) mg·L
-1, AUC
0-t were (186.88±8.83) and (202.50±34.20) mg·L
-1·h.
CONCLUSION The self-made Levetiracetam extended-release tablet exhibits the sustained release characteristics
in vitro.
