<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> The dose-dependent pharmacokinetics of itraconazole after intravenous (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) and oral (10, 30, or 50 mg/kg) administration and the first-pass effects of itraconazole after intravenous, intraportal, intragastric, and intraduodenal administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg were evaluated in rats. After intravenous administration at a dose of 30 mg/kg, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC <jats:sub>0-∞</jats:sub> ) was significantly greater than those at 10 and 20 mg/kg (1,090, 1,270, and 1,760 μg · min/ml for 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg, dose-normalized at 10 mg/kg). After oral administration, the AUC <jats:sub>0-∞</jats:sub> was significantly different for three oral doses (380, 687, and 934 μg · min/ml for 10, 30, and 50 mg/kg, respectively, dose-normalized at 10 mg/kg). The extent of absolute oral bioavailability ( <jats:italic>F</jats:italic> ) was 34.9% after an oral dose at 10 mg/kg. The AUC <jats:sub>0-∞</jats:sub> (or AUC <jats:sub>0-8 h</jats:sub> ) values were comparable between intravenous and intraportal administration and between intragastric and intraduodenal administration, suggesting that the hepatic and gastric first-pass effects were almost negligible in rats. However, the AUC <jats:sub>0-8 h</jats:sub> values after intraduodenal and intragastric administration were significantly smaller than that after intraportal administration, approximately 30%, suggesting that the intestinal first-pass effect was approximately 70% of that of an oral dose of 10 mg/kg. The low <jats:italic>F</jats:italic> after oral administration of itraconazole at a dose of 10 mg/kg could be mainly due to the considerable intestinal first-pass effect. </jats:p>
