After intravenous administration of OPZ and LPZ (1 mg/kg), OPZ was eliminated 1-exponentially and LPZ was eliminated 2-exponentially from plasma. Elimination was rapid with total body clearance of 57.6 ml/min/kg for OPZ and 58.6 ml/min/kg for LPZ. The volumes of distribution at steady-state were 0.66 liter/kg for OPZ and 1.04 liter/kg for LPZ, and the plasma unbound fractions were 0.105 and 0.069. The dose at which 50% of the maximum effect is elicited for the suppression of gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine was 0.28 +/- 0.13 mg/kg (estimated value +/- SD) for OPZ and 0.18 +/- 0.03 mg/kg for LPZ. Second-order rate constants for association of OPZ or LPZ and H+,K+-ATPase based on a PK/PD model were 72.5 +/- 30.0 (estimated value +/- SD) and 124 +/- 58 ml/micrograms/hr respectively. Apparent turnover rate of H+,K+-ATPase was 8.8 hr as half-life, assuming the same value for both drugs. We concluded that pharmacokinetic elimination patterns of OPZ and LPZ were different, whereas the pharmacodynamic characteristics of both drugs are nearly the same in rats. ER -
