To evaluate the variables in TAL absorption, 100 mg of the drug were given together with paracetamol (100 mg) and retinyl palmitate (100.000 IU) in fast-disintegrating hard capsules, enteric coated capsules and rectal soft capsules to 8 male healthy volunteers (age 21-29 years, body weight 68-86 kg) who fasted for 10 hours before and 5 hours after administration. Food effects on TAL disposition were assessed by eating a continental breakfast at the moment of the expected first TAL peak one hour prior to administration of a hard capsule. Validated HPLC-assays were used for quantitative determinations. Results: Bioavailability of talinolol in enteric-coated and rectal capsules was significantly reduced by about 50 % and 80 %, respectively despite unchanged bioavailability of paracetamol. After TAL in hard capsules, typical double peak phenomena with peaks after 2-3 and 4-6 hours, respectively, occurred in all subjects. Food increased the maximum concentrations significantly (223±76 µg/ml versus 315±122 µg/ml, p<0.05) and shifted the second peak of TAL to shorter tmax (3.8±1.2 h vs 2.1 ±0.6 h, p<0.05) which was in accordance with faster absorption of vitamin A. Pharmacokinetic simulations showed that about half of oral TAL is not directly drained from intestine, which leads to a late second absorption peak in fasting subjects and which reaches blood earlier after a heavy meal. In conclusion, since TAL disposition is under control of P-glycoprotein and MRP2, ABC-transporters of gut mucosa (enterocytes, capillaries) might be involved in splitting TAL absorption into a direct and a delayed part that might be associated with lymphatic flow.
