Effects of vitamin C on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nimodipine in rats

© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

In recent years, researchers have shown a growing interest in the interactions between different pharmaceutical agents. An intriguing instance lies in the possible interaction between nimodipine and vitamin C. To investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of vitamin C on nimodipine in rats, rats were randomly divided into a nimodipine only group and a combination group (nimodipine + vitamin C). The two groups were given intragastric administration and nimodipine blood concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrum at different time points. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured via carotid artery cannulation. Pharmacokinetic differences were observed between the nimodipine only group and the combination group at the same dose. Compared with the nimodipine only group, the combination group's main pharmacokinetic parameters of peak concentration and area under the curve increased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05); furthermore, the combination group exhibited a significant reduction in average blood pressure, while no significant effects on heart rate were observed. Vitamin C did not affect the activity of CYP450 in rat liver. The pharmacokinetic characteristics and pharmacodynamics of nimodipine were changed by vitamin C administration in rats.
