Sažetak
The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of piperine pre-conditioning on the pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin in Wistar rats. Marbofloxacin was administrated at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg body weight alone, and along with piperine pre-conditioning at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight, orally for 5 days in Wistar rats. The mean values of the half-life (t1⁄2β), maximum drug concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) were 1.19 ± 0.17 h, 2.71 ± 0.09 μg/mL and 12.25 ± 0.77 μg.h/mL, respectively, in piperine pretreated rats. The values were significantly higher than the values observed in rats administered with marbofloxacin alone (1.12 ± 0.31 h, 2.28 ± 0.20 μg/mL and 9.24 ± 0.59 μg.h/mL, respectively). The drug clearance (ClB) in piperine pretreated rats was 0.04 ± 0.02 L/h/kg, which was significantly lower than the clearance rate of the drug (0.53 ± 0.03 L/h/kg) in the animals administered with marbofloxacin alone. The study reveals that piperine has a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of marbofloxacin, which may be due to an increase in the drug absorption and inhibition of elimination of the drug in rats.
