Comparison of Exposure of a Nanosuspension and an Imwitor/Tween Formulation for Compound C in Beagle Dogs

Dose Formulation AUC T max
30 mg/kg 0.5 mL/kg Imwitor/Tween 194 ± 60 2.2 ± 1.8
100 mg/kg 0.5 mL/kg Imwitor/Tween 162 ± 60 2.0 ± 1.7
30 mg/kg 5 mL/kg nanosuspension 15.4 ± 3.2 0.75 ± 0.43
100 mg/kg 5 mL/kg nanosuspension 27.6 ± 35.7 0.83 ± 0.29

The nanosuspension resulted in significantly lower exposures compared to the Imwitor/Tween suspension despite providing comparable exposures in an earlier screening study in rats
