Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration and does not depend on concomitant food intake. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 88%.
▧ Protein binding :
The mean plasma protein bound fraction is approximately 76%, and is concentration-independent.
▧ Metabolism :
Metabolism Trovafloxacin is metabolized by conjugation (the role of cytochrome P450 oxidative metabolism of trovafloxacin is minimal). The major metabolites include the ester glucuronide, which appears in the urine (13% of the administered dose); and the N -acetyl metabolite, which appears in the feces and serum (9% and 2.5% of the administered dose, respectively). Other minor metabolites include diacid, hydroxycarboxylic acid, and sulfamate, which have been identified in both the feces and the urine in small amounts (< 4% of the administered dose).
▧ Route of Elimination :
Approximately 50% of an oral dose is excreted unchanged (43% in the feces and 6% in the urine).
▧ Half Life :
Following oral administration, half-life ranged from 9.1 hours to 12.2 hours over the dosage range of 100 to 200 mg tablets. Following intravenous infusion, half-life ranged from 9.4 to 12.7 hours over a dosage range of 100 to 300 mg.
