The bioavailability of a new terbinafine (CAS 91161-71-6) preparation was compared with a commercially available original preparation (reference) of the drug in 19 Chinese healthy male volunteers. The study was performed in an open, randomized, single blind two-sequence, two-period crossover design. Under fasting conditions, each subject received a single oral dose of 250 mg terbinafine as a test or reference formulation with a 7-day washout period between the two preparations. The plasma concentrations of terbinafine were analyzed by a sensitive liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectrometry method. The pharmacokinetic parameters included AUC(0-t) AUC(0-infinity), C(max), t1/2, and T(max). The values of AUC(0-t) demonstrated nearly identical bioavailability of terbinafine from the examined formulations. The AUC(0.48) of terbinafine was 5982.85 +/- 2449.17 and 6761.63 +/- 3140.33 ng x h/ml for the test and reference formulation, respectively. The maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of terbinafine was 1656.25 +/- 623.18 ng/ml for the test and 1552.07 +/- 660.35 ng/ml for the reference product, respectively. No statistical differences were observed for C(max) and the area under the plasma concentration time curve for terbinafine. The 90% confidence limits calculated for C(max) and AUC from zero to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)) of terbinafine were within the bioequivalence range (80%-125% for AUC). This study shows that the test formulation is bioequivalent to the reference formulation of terbinafine.
