Embodiment 15 Rat In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Experiment
(71) 15 healthy SD male rats with the body weight in a range of 200 to 220 g were taken, and were regularly fed with rat standard formula granulated feed every day. Fasting was performed for 12 h before the experiment. Feeding was resumed after 4 h after administration. Free water drinking was allowed before, after and during the experiment. The rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. The first group was feed with Epacadostat at single dose. The second to sixth groups were fed with compounds prepared according to Embodiment 9 to Embodiment 13 at single dose. The molar concentration of Epacadostat in the dosage of administration of the 6 groups of rats was 10 mg/kg. 0.2 to 0.3 mL of blood was taken from fundus venous plexus before administration (at 0 h), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24 and 48 h after administration respectively. Heparin anticoagulation was performed. The plasma was separated through centrifugation. 0.1 mL of plasma was accurately measured and added into an EP tube. 1.2 mL of ethyl acetate was added. High-speed uniform mixing was performed by a vortex mixer for 5 min. Centrifugation was performed for 5 min (8000 r/min). Supernatant was collected.
