Objective To evaluate the bioequivalence of ibuprofen sustained release capsules(300 mg) in Chinese healthy subjects.Methods A randomized, open-label, single-center, single-dose, two-preparation, two-period, two-sequence, and self-crossover bioequivalence trial was performed in Chinese healthy volunteers.Both fasting and fed trials enrolled 24 healthy subjects.A single dose of test or reference ibuprofen sustained release capsules(300 mg) was administered under fasting or fed conditions per period with 7-day washout period.The concentration of ibuprofen in plasma was determined by HPLC-MS/MS, which was used to evalute the bioequivalence of the two preparationsResults The main pharmacokinetic parameters under fasting conditions for the test and the reference sustained release capsules were as follows: C_(max) were(13 603.75±3 606.48) vs.(14 051.25±2 876.49) ng·mL∼(-1);AUC_(0-t) were(98 846.34±22 299.01) vs.(99 836.30±19 621.61) h·ng·mL∼(-1);AUC_(0-∞ )were(103 207.00±23 890.57) vs.(103 524.09± 22 292.75) h·ng·mL∼(-1);t_(max) were 4.5 vs.4.5 h; t_(1/2) were(4.32±1.92) vs.(4.10±1.23) h.The main pharmacokinetic parameters under fed conditions for the test and the reference sustained release capsules were as follows: C_(max) were(20 552.17±5 320.53) vs.(19 170.83±2 945.22) ng·mL∼(-1);AUC_(0-t) were(102 412.31±19 314.50) vs.(101 928.24±21 749.75) h·ng·mL∼(-1);AUC_(0-∞) were(102 979.26±19 583.29) vs.(102 549.36±22 126.08) h·ng·mL∼(-1);t_(max) were 4.5 vs.4.5 h; t_(1/2) were(2.97±0.34) vs.(2.92±0.36) h.Under fasting conditions, the 90% confidence intervals of C_(max), AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) geometric mean ratios were(89.86%, 102.08%), (94.05%, 103.40%) and(94.35%, 104.72%).Under fed conditions, the 90% confidence intervals of C_(max), AUC_(0-t) and AUC_(0-∞) geometric mean ratios were(97.43%, 112.29%), (95.44%, 103.59%) and(95.32%, 103.62%).Conclusion It could therefore be concluded that the test preparation of ibuprofen sustained release capsules was bioequivalent to that of reference
