[0029] Example 1

[0030] 1.1 Preparation of the drug delivery solution:

[0031] Accurately weigh the ARNi complex and bisoprolol fumarate. Disperse the ARNi complex into a suspension using 1% HPMC solvent via vortexing. Prepare a bisoprolol solution using 5% DMSO + 60% PEG400 + 35% physiological saline via vortexing, resulting in ARNi complex concentrations of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 mg / mL, and a bisoprolol concentration of 1.0 mg / mL. Mix equal volumes of bisoprolol with the ARNi complex suspensions at concentrations of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 mg / mL, respectively, to obtain ARNi complex + bisoprolol suspensions with drug concentrations of 3 + 0.5, 6 + 0.5, 12 + 0.5, 24 + 0.5, 48 + 0.5, and 96 + 0.5 mg / mL. Dilute the 1.0 mg / mL bisoprolol solution 1:1 with 1% HPMC to obtain a bisoprolol concentration of 0.5 mg / mL.

[0032] 1.2 Drug administration and blood collection in SD rats:

[0033] Fourteen male SD rats weighing 200–300 g were randomly divided into seven groups of two rats each. The dosages for each group are shown in the table below. Each group was administered the corresponding drug by gavage at a volume of 10 mL / kg. Approximately 100 μL of whole blood was collected via tail vein at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 7, and 24 h after drug administration into EDTA-K2 anticoagulant tubes. The tubes were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 2 min, and the plasma was separated. The bisoprolol blood concentration was determined by LC / MS / MS.

[0034] Table 1

[0035] 1.3 Data Statistics:

[0036] Pharmacokinetic parameters of bisoprolol were calculated using WinNonlin software.

[0038] Table 2

[0039] 1.5 Conclusions of the rat PK experiment:

[0040] The exposure of bisoprolol to rats after combined gavage administration of ARNi complex and bisoprolol at different ratios showed different changes compared with the same dose of bisoprolol monotherapy. When ARNi complex and bisoprolol were combined at a ratio of 240:40, the exposure of bisoprolol increased by only about 9% compared with 5 mg / kg bisoprolol monotherapy. As the ratio of ARNi complex to bisoprolol decreased, the exposure of bisoprolol increased significantly compared with the monotherapy group. However, when the ratio was 240:1.25, rats showed certain adverse reactions (drooling, respiratory sounds, prickly hairs, etc. after administration).

[0041] Note: The amount of ARNi complex used in this embodiment is based on anhydrous free acid C. 46 H 50 The calculation is based on ClN7O7; the bisoprolol used is calculated as bisoprolol fumarate.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] 2.1 Preparation of the drug delivery solution:

[0044] Accurately weigh ARNi complex, LCZ696, propranolol hydrochloride and bisoprolol fumarate. Disperse ARNi complex and LCZ696 into a suspension by vortexing in 1% HPMC solvent. Prepare a solution of propranolol and bisoprolol by vortexing in 5% DMSO + 60% PEG400 + 35% physiological saline solvent, so that the concentration of ARNi complex and LCZ696 is 48 mg / mL, and the concentration of bisoprolol and propranolol (in free form) is 1.0 mg / mL. Equal volumes of 48 mg / mL ARNi complex suspension and 1.0 mg / mL propranolol solution were mixed to obtain an ARNi complex + propranolol suspension with a drug concentration of 24 + 0.5 mg / mL. The 1.0 mg / mL propranolol was diluted 1-fold with 1% HPMC to obtain a propranolol concentration of 0.5 mg / mL. Equal volumes of 48 mg / mL LCZ696 suspension and 1.0 mg / mL bisoprolol solution were mixed to obtain an LCZ696 + bisoprolol suspension with a drug concentration of 24 + 0.5 mg / mL.

[0045] 2.2 Drug administration and blood collection in SD rats:

[0046] Six male SD rats weighing 200–300 g were randomly divided into three groups of two rats each. The dosages for each group are shown in the table below. Each group was administered the corresponding drug by gavage at a volume of 10 mL / kg. Approximately 100 μL of whole blood was collected via tail vein at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 7, and 24 h post-administration and placed in EDTA-K2 anticoagulant tubes. The tubes were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 2 min, and the plasma was separated. The blood concentrations of propranolol and bisoprolol were determined by LC / MS / MS.
