Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Absorbed rapidly. Food increases the extent of absorption by 30% to 85%.
▧ Protein binding :
> 99% (primarily to serum albumin)
▧ Metabolism :
A sulfate conjugate metabolite (Metabolite 1) and a quinone metabolite (Metabolite 3) have been detected in the plasma of healthy males. A glucuronide conjugate (Metabolite 2) has been detected in the urine and also in negligible amounts in the plasma. In healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2 diabetes, the steady-state concentration of Metabolite 1 is six to seven times that of troglitazone and Metabolite 3. In in vivo drug interaction studies, troglitazone has been shown to induce cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 at clinically relevant doses.
▧ Half Life :
16-34 hours
