Active Comparator: Quinine Sulfate
Baseline quinine sulfate pharmacokinetics
|
Drug: Quinine Sulfate Capsules 324 mg
A single dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) administered on the morning of Day 1 after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.
Other Name: Qualaquin® |
Experimental: Quinine Sulfate with Ciprofloxacin
Quinine sulfate pharmacokinetics in the presence of steady state ciprofloxacin
|
Drug: Ciprofloxacin 500 mg
A single dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) co-administered with a single dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) in the morning on Day 11 after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.
Other Name: Cipro® Drug: Quinine Sulfate Capsules 324 mg A single dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) co-administered with a single dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) in the morning on Day 11 after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.
Other Name: Qualaquin® |
- Maximum Plasma Concentration(Cmax) [ Time Frame: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose. ]The maximum or peak concentration that the drug reaches in the plasma.
- Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Time t [AUC(0-t)] [ Time Frame: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose. ]The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve beginning from the first dose (time 0) to the last measurable concentration (time t), as calculated by the linear trapezoidal method.
- Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)]. [ Time Frame: Serial pharmacokinetic blood samples for quinine sulfate collected on Days 1 and 11 before dosing and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 36 hours post-dose. ]The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞)was calculated as the sum of the AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.
