The objective of this study was to determine the effect of lipids on the pharmacokinetics of halofantrine enantiomers. Rats were given (+/-)-halofantrine HCl 2 mg/kg i.v., or 7 mg/kg orally. Some rats were rendered hyperlipidemic by intraperitoneal administration of poloxamer 407 1 g/kg, followed by
The antimalarial drug, halofantrine, is chiral and is administered clinically as the racemate. In order to define the pharmacokinetic properties of halofantrine enantiomers in the rat, male Sprague-Dawley rats (264-311 g) were given halofantrine HCl orally (n = 5; 14 mg/kg) or intravenously (i.v.) (
