Objective To study the pharmacokinetics of lovastatin/niacin sustained-release tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods Eligible subjects were enrolled to receive a single dose of 20/500, 20/750 and 20/1 000 mg lovastatin/niacin sustained-release tablets and multiple dose of 20/1 000 mg lovastatin/niacin sustainedrelease tablets, one time per day, sustained for 5 days, respectively. Blood samples were obtained before dosing and up to 10, 20, 30, and 45 minutes, and 1 hour, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 15 hours after dosing. Niacin, niacinamide, nicotinuric acid and lovastatin were detected by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Results The peak concertration and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (0-t) of nicotinuric acid had linear dynamics characteristics with the dosage when the dose of niacin was between 500 and 1 000 mg. After multiple dosing, pharmacokinetics parameters of nicotinuric acid and lovastatin were close. No significant diTherence was found between male and female subjects. Conclusion Lovastatin/niacin sustained-release tablets possess linear kinetics. Accumulation is not significant after multiple dosing. Gender doesn't affect the pharmacokinetics parameters.
