Pharmacokinetic study of the interaction between luteolin and magnoflorine in rats

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The pharmacokinetic study was performed on male Sprague–Dawley rats randomly grouped as the single administration of luteolin and the co-administration of luteolin and magnoflorine with six rats of each. Luteolin was co-administrated with magnoflorine to evaluate their potential interaction.
