    Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to evaluate if a rat model, based upon co-administration of the anion-exchanging resin, cholestyramine, could replace surgery when evaluating the importance of bile on drug absorption. Two different formulations were used for the administration of halofantrine; polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and PEG 400/polysorbate 80 (50:50, w/w%), as a positive and negative control on the dependency of bile. No significant effect of the resin was detected after evaluation of three different pre-dosing regimes, but in line with previous studies the formulation containing polysorbate 80 showed a significant increase in the absorption of halofantrine. This study therefore demonstrates that the pre-dosing of rats with Cholestyramine can not replace surgical bile duct cannulation if a formulation needs to be evaluated for its bile dependency.
