The plasma disposition kinetics and the biliary excretion kinetics of cefmetazole after i.v. administration to rats anaesthetized with pentobarbital sodium were studied. Parametric estimation was carried out using non-linear regression methods with uni- and bivariate analyses. On the basis of statistical criteria a two-compartment model was chosen as the most appropriate for fitting the plasma concentration data, establishing a mean half-life value of the slow disposition phase at around 13 min. Analysis of the plasma and biliary data revealed a mean value for the biliary excretion constant of 0.049 l/min and 0.113 l/min for the urinary excretion constant. The cumulative biliary excretion data showed a mean value of 36.25% of the dose administered. The relationship between the biliary excretion rates and plasma concentrations seems to point to a saturable mechanism of excretion.
