ABSTRACT
The Bioavailability of two oral preparations of Lisinopril, Alfaken® and Prinivil®, was assessed and compared in 24 healthy male volunteers, being the latter product the one designated by Mexican Health Authorities as the Reference Drug Product. Both products successfully met the requirements of the Norma Oficial Mexicana (Mexican Official Standards) NOM-177-SSA-1-1998. Based on a single dose, randomized, two-way crossover design, volunteers received a 20-mg dose (two 10-mg tablets) of each study drug for two periods with a washout of two weeks (14 days) between each period in order to eliminate the drug taken in the previous period. Aimed at withdrawing blood samples in order to assess the pharmacokinetic profile for the study and reference drug products, a catheter was introduced in the forearm vein. Blood samples were obtained before the drug product administration (time zero) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 24, 36, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours after the dose. Lisinopril plasma concentration was determined by means of a validated reliable LC-MS analytical method. Results showed that the method successfully met the accuracy and linearity requirements for lisinopril within a concentration range between 3 and 280 ng/mL. The Bioavailability parameters were calculated for both products plasma profile data with noncompartimental methods by using statistical software WinNonlin v 3.3. Results obtained for Alfaken® and Prinivil® respectively are the following: AUC
0-t (1,087.4 ± 428.3 and 1,120.2 ± 433.1 ng h/mL), AUC
0-∞ (1,136.8 ± 423.6 and 1,169.0 ± 433.4 ng h/mL), C
max (90.0 ± 43.3 and 90.8 ± 36.3 ng/mL), T
max (7.1 ± 0.63 and 6.6 ± 1.4 h), t½ (6.9 ± 1.8 and 6.9 ± 1.7 h), Ke (0.11 ± 0.02 and 0.11 ± 0.02 h-1), MRT (11.9 ± 1.6 and 11.8 ± 1.7 h).
Bioequivalent statistics showed that AUC and Cmax log parameters met the bioequivalence criteria of Two one-sided t-test: p ‹ 80% (p ≤ 0.05); p › 125% (p ≤ 0.05), 90% Confidence Interval (80-125%) and Power (p › 0.80). The comparison of the above results permitted to attain the conclusion that both products are bioequivalent.
