Abstract
Bioavailability of phytonadione was investigated after oral administration to beagle dogs. The administrations of phytonadione in a surfactant solution (preparation a) and in an oleic acid solution (preparations b) greatly increased the bioavailability of phytonadione. The AUCs of preparations a and b were about 2.5 times larger than those of commercially available tablets A and C. This result well corresponded to the results of the dissolution test previously reported. The absorption of phytonadione from the gastro-intestinal tract was affected by food and the bioavailability was largely increased under non-fasted conditions. However, a large scatter was observed in the data, and it was found that the evaluation of the bioavailability of phytonadione preparations could not be done in non-fasted animals.
