Abstract
It has been reported that the expressions of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1/2, 2B1/2 and 3A1/2 were not changed in rats with water deprivation for 72h (rat model of dehydration) compared with the controls. It has been also reported that 1,3-dimethyluric acid (1,3-DMU) was formed from theophylline via CYP1A1/2 in rats. Hence, it could be expected that the formation of 1,3-DMU could be comparable between the two groups of rats. As expected, after both intravenous and oral administration of theophylline at a dose of 5mg/kg to the rat model of dehydration, the AUC of 1,3-DMU was comparable to the controls. After both intravenous and oral administration of theophylline to the rat model of dehydration, the Clr of both theophylline and 1,3-DMU was significantly slower than the controls. This could be due to significantly smaller urinary excretions of both theophylline and 1,3-DMU since the AUC of both theophylline and 1,3-DMU were comparable between the two groups of rats. The smaller urinary excretion of both theophylline and 1,3-DMU could be due to urine, flow rate-dependent timed-interval renal clearance of both theophylline and 1,3-DMU in rats.
