Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

Acomparative study of the pharmacokinetics, bioequivalence, and safety of two marketed meldonium dosage forms Meldonium Organika (meldonium, 500 mg capsules, Organika Co., Russia) and Mildronate® (meldonium, 500 mg capsules, Grindex Co., Latvia) was carried out for a group of healthy volunteers in an open randomized 2-period cross-validation test. It was established that 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of geometric means of pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-t (86.32 – 102.48%), AUC0-∞ (85.30 – 101.68%), and Cmax (84.92 – 101.76%) did not go beyond permissible limits of 80.00 – 125.00%. A conclusion was made about the bioequivalence of the aforementioned meldonium preparations based on the drug pharmacokinetic parameters.
