Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability of cannabidiol (CBD) with different formulations have not been investigated in horses and may represent a starting point for clinical studies. OBJECTIVES To describe pharmacokinetics after intravenous and oral administrations with oil and micellar formulations and simulate different treatments. STUDY DESIGN Single intravenous experiment and two-way randomised oral experiments, Latin-square design. METHODS Eight healthy horses received intravenous CBD at 1.00 mg/kg dose, oral CBD in sesame oil and in micellar formulation, both at 10.00 mg/kg. Concentrations were measured using LC-MS/MS and fitted by nonlinear mixed effect modelling. Parameters obtained were used to simulate single and multiple treatments at steady state. RESULTS Intravenous and oral concentrations were simultaneously fitted using a three-compartment model. Final estimates indicate that CBD has a volume of distribution of 36 L/kg associated with a systemic clearance of 1.46 L/h/kg and half-lives ranged between 24 and 34 h. Oral bioavailability was close to 14% for both oral administrations. Simulated dose regimen of CBD every 12 and 24 h predicted similar percentages to reach effective plasma concentration with both oral formulation at 10.00 mg/kg. MAIN LIMITATIONS A small horse population was used (8 horses per trial). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Oral bioavailability was low at the doses studied but fell within the range described for horse and other species. CBD had a high steady-state volume of distribution, a high clearance and long half-lives. No adverse reactions were detected at any dose or route. The micellar formulation showed a faster absorption and higher concentration peak, while the oil formulation presented lower levels, but more maintained over time. Simulations predicted that both could be useful in multiple oral dose treatments. These results indicated that CBD could be of interest, but further studies are needed to evaluate its clinical use in horses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urine is conventionally used as a specimen to document diazepam-related crimes; however, few reports have described the pharmacokinetics of diazepam and its metabolites in urine. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of diazepam and its metabolites, including glucuronide compounds, in the urine of Chinese participants. METHODS A total of 28 volunteers were recruited and each participant ingested 5 mg of diazepam orally. Ten milliliters of urine were collected from each participant at post-consumption timepoints of prior (zero), 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h and 2, 3, 6, 12, and 15 days. All samples were extracted by solid-phase extraction and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Diazepam and its main metabolites, except for temazepam, were detected in the urine of volunteers. Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed using the pharmacokinetic software DAS according to the non-compartment model. RESULTS Urinary diazepam peaked at 2.38 ng/mL (Cmax) and 1.93 h (Tmax). The urinary metabolite nordiazepam peaked at 1.17 ng/mL and 100.21 h; temazepam glucuronide (TG) peaked at 145.61 ng/mL and 41.14 h; and oxazepam glucuronide (OG) peaked at 101.57 ng/mL and 165.86 h. The elimination half-life (t½z) and clearance (CLz/F) for diazepam were 119.58 h and 65.77 L/h, respectively. The t½z of the metabolites nordiazepam, TG, and OG was 310.58 h, 200.17 h, and 536.44 h, respectively. Finally, this study found that both diazepam and its main metabolites in urine were detectable for at least 15 days, although there were individual differences. CONCLUSION The results regarding diazepam pharmacokinetics in urine would be of great help in forensic science and drug screening.
