The standard curve (150-2400 <em>ng/ml</em>) was linear (R²=0.999), relative errors were between 2.4 to 10.05% and the coefficient of variation (CV%) ranged from 1.52 to 10.88. A single dosage (test and reference) was used for the <em>in vivo</em> investigation, which involved 16 healthy individuals.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="color:black"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Results:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> The AUC0-48, AUC0-, Cmax, and Tmax of the test and reference had no statistically significant differences. The C_max and 95% confidence intervals of the ratio of C_max of the two formulations were 0.93-0.96 and 97.6-135%, respectively. </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="color:black"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Conclusion:</span></strong> <span style="font-size:10.0pt">Therefore, it was established that </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">generic Bosentan was equivalent to Bosentan from Actelion and that both medications could be regarded as equally effective in clinical settings. The blood level of Bosentan could be measured using this straightforward procedure in all hospital laboratories.</span></span></span></p> Bioequivalence, Bosentan, High performance liquid chromatography, Losartan 104 110 https://www.ajmb.org/En/Article.aspx?id=60573 https://www.ajmb.org/PDF/En/FullText/60573.pdf ZahraKhalighi Biotechnology and Medicinal Plants Research Center, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92187HoriGhaneialvarDepartment of Clinical Biochemistry, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92188ArminSoltaniDepartment of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Shahid Mustafa Khomeini Hospital, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92189AliKhorshidiDepartment of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Science, Ilam, Iran92190ElaheKarimi92191ArdeshirMoayeriDepartment of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92192NaserAbbasi Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92172MasoumehTahmasebiDepartment of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Ilam University of Medical Sciences, Ilam, Iran92193AliAidy92194
