Participant Flow

Twenty-four (24) healthy, non-smoking, adult male and female volunteers from the community at large were enrolled.

Thirty-nine (39) subjects were screened. Four (4) did not meet eligibility criteria, nine (9) had a schedule conflict prior to Period I check-in, and two (2) transferred to another study.

Measure
Quinine Alone, Ciprofloxacin Alone, Quinine With Ciprofloxacin
All subjects received a single dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) on Day 1 following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. After a 7-day washout period, beginning on the morning of Day 8 subjects received a dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) twice a day for 4 days. On Day 11 in the morning, subjects received a single dose of quinine sulfate (2 x 324 mg capsules) co-administered with a single dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet). On Day 11 in the evening, the final dose of ciprofloxacin (1 x 500 mg tablet) was administered.

Population: Pharmacokinetic analyses are based on 20 subjects out of the 21 subjects who completed the study. One value was determined to be unreliable and was not used.

The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity. AUC(0-∞)was calculated as the sum of the AUC(0-t) plus the ratio of the last measurable plasma concentration to the elimination rate constant.
