Dear Sir,
During the bioavailability studies of a NCE, we are getting strange
results where the Intraperitoneal AUC of the drug was 150% of IV AUC.
Repeat experiments yielded similar experiments. I would be grateful
if somebody could through some light on the this.

dear sir,
it would be very difficult to comment with this much data. try
validating your analytical method. i dont know whether you have used
HPLC method. if yes whether internal standard was used. ploblem may
occure if extraction is not proper.

Hello Sunil
It would be better if you could check your results by
infusing (few minutes) the same dose into portal vein.
This will remove any doubts about the exactness of dose
administration which might result in the differences
you are observing. It will be better if you can check
two or three time points (intraperitoneal vs
intraportal) of their concentrations and compare the
results.Hope your dose is not high to saturate the
liver.
Hope this helps

Enterohepatic circulation perhaps. I remember seeing this issue
being addressed before in this forum.

One possible explanation could be flip-flop kinetics. Have you compared
the apparent elimination half-lives?
