Comparative bioavailability study of two preparations of letrozole in healthy subjects.

The bioavailability of a new letrozole (CAS 112809-51-5) preparation was compared with the reference preparation of the drug in 25 healthy volunteers, aged between 18 and 33. A single dose of 2.5 mg was given orally in the fasted state, using a randomized two-way, cross-over protocol.

Bioavailability of tramadol hydrochloride from tramadol--capsules 50 mg.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to investigate the bioavailability of tramadol hydrochloride after oral administration of Tramadol--50 mg capsules, made in Synteza Pharmaceutical-Chemical Company in Poznań. As a reference preparation of Tramadol was used Tramal--50 mg capsules, (Grünenthal, Germany). The preparations were investigated in 20 healthy volunteers, according to a randomised two-way, cross-over design in the fasted state.

Determination of pethidine in rabbit plasma by capillary gas chromatography.

A simple and fast gas chromatographic method for the determination of pethidine hydrochloride in rabbit plasma is described and validated. This method is an improvement on the GC method which uses a glass column, and was described previously by Koska et al. [Anaesth.

[Peroxidation components of sperm lipid membranes in male infertility].

We have studied the lipid peroxidation product (malondiadehyde-MDA) levels after thiobarbituric acid reaction, spectrophotometrically and by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection in seminal plasma as well as in the cell fraction. Semen samples were obtained from healthy volunteers and infertile males. Ejaculates were previously classified into studied subgroups according to standard andrological criteria (sperm number, motility, morphology) and defined as: normozoospermia (K), azoospermia (Az), teratozoospermia (T), asthenoteratozoospermia (AT), oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and idiopathic infertility (NIF).

[The evaluation of the bioavailability of isosorbide 5-mononitrate].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to investigate the bioavailability of isosorbide mononitrate (IS-5MN) after oral administration of Monocard 20 mg-capsules, made in "Synteza" â Pharmaceutical-Chemical Company in Poznań. Effox 20 mg, coated tablets from Schwarz Pharma, was used as an counterpart of Monocard 20 mg. The concentrations of IS-5MN in healthy volunteers' plasma were determined by using Hewlett Packard gas chromatography.
