The evaluation of pharmacokinetic analysis of resveratrol was carried out in different animal models such as rats, mice, and rabbits [Asensi et al., 2002 Chen et al., 2007 Juan et al., 2002 Marier et al., 2002 Sale et al., 2004] furthermore, pharmacokinetic analysis was also evaluated with other resveratrol derivatives such as piceid [Lv et al., 2006 Zhou et al., 2007], a Smilax china root extract [Huang et al., 2008], 3,4,5,4 -tetramethoxystilbene [Sale et al., 2004], piceatan-nol, pinosylvin, and rhapontigenin [Roupe et al., 2006] (Table 13.4). 

Recently, the pharmacokinetics of resveratrol from Smilax china, a rhizome extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine was evaluated [Huang et al., 2008]. Forty-five female rats were orally administered with 1 g/kg S. china extract equivalent to 180 mg/kg of oxyresveratrol and 80 mg/kg of resveratrol. The pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the two stilbenes were rapidly absorbed into the body fluid from the gastrointestinal tract and could still be detected in the plasma at least 6 h after the administration [Huang et al., 2008], probably due to the high dose administered.
