The pharmacokinetic profile of freeze-dried cyclosporine A-Eudragit S100 nanoparticles (CyA-S100-NP)was studied with a random two-way crossover study in dogs. The drug blood concentration was determined by internal standard HPLC method after oral administration of CyA-S100-NP and Neoral. Pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated by 3P97 program. The concentration-time data were fitted as a two-compartment open model. The AUC of CyA-S100-NP was higher than that of Neoral(P<0.05), while the CL significantly decreased(P<0.05). The relative bioavailability of CyA-S100-NP were 135.9% compared with Neoral. The bioavailability of CyA was significantly improved. CyA-S100-NP was a potential drug for developing a new CyA nanoparticles solid formulation.
