| Abstract | To investigate bioequivalence (BE) testing of an acarbose formulation in healthy Chinese volunteers through the use of recommended and innovative pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters. Following the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, a randomized, cross-over study of acarbose test (T) and reference (R) (Glucobay®) formulations was performed with a 1-week wash-out period. Preliminary pilot studies showed that the appropriate dose of acarbose was 2 × 50 mg, and the required number of subjects was 40. Serum glucose concentrations after sucrose administration (baseline) and co-administration of sucrose/acarbose on the following day were both determined. Three newly defined PD measures of glucose fluctuation (glucose excursion (GE), GE′ (glucose excursion without the effect of the homeostatic glucose control), and fAUC (degree of fluctuation of serum glucose based on AUC)), the plateau glucose concentration (C$_{ss}$), and time of maximum reduction in glucose concentration (T $_{max}$) were tested in the evaluation. The adequacy of the two parameters recommended by the FDA, ΔC$_{SG,max}$ (maximum reduction in serum glucose concentration) and AUEC$_{(0-4h)}$ (reduction in the AUC$_{(0-4h)}$ of glucose between baseline and acarbose formulation) was also evaluated. The T $_{max}$ values were comparable, and the 90% confidence intervals of the geometric test/reference ratios (T/R) for ΔC$_{SG,max}$, C$_{ss}$, GE, and fAUC were all within 80–125%. The parameter GE′ was slightly outside the limits, and the parameter AUEC$_{(0-4h)}$ could not be computed due to the presence of negative values. In acarbose BE evaluation, while the recommended parameter ΔC$_{SG,max}$ is valuable, the combination of C$_{ss}$ and one of the newly defined glucose fluctuation parameters, GE, GE’, and fAUC is preferable than AUEC$_{(0-4h)}$. The acarbose test formulation can be initially considered to be bioequivalent to Glucobay®. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
