Figure 4From: Monitoring the initial pulmonary absorption of two different beclomethasone dipropionate aerosols employing a human lung reperfusion modelTime course of distribution of Sanasthmax®/Becloforte™ and Ventolair®/Qvar™ from a ventilated human lung preparation into perfusion fluid at 37°C. Samples were obtained form the main venous vessel of the lung lobe and the drug concentration was expressed as percentage of the total dose applied to the lung lobe. [4 A] Sum of beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and its metabolites, [4 B] BDP and [4 C] beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP). Each data point represents the mean and mean deviation of the mean of three independent experiments.Back to article page
