To test the effect of insulin treatment on the pharmacokinetics of metformin in rats with diabetes mellitus induced by alloxan (DMIA rats). The following results were reported from other studies. Metformin was metabolized via hepatic CYP2C11, 2D1, and 3A1/2 in rats. In DMIA rats, the protein expression and mRNA levels of hepatic CYP2C11 and 3A1/2 decreased and increased, respectively. In rat model of diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin, the protein expression of hepatic CYP2D1 was not changed. The increase in hepatic CYP1A2, 2B1, and 2E1, and decrease in hepatic CYP2C11 in DMIA rats was returned to the controls by insulin treatment. METHODS. Metformin (100 mg/kg) was administered intravenously and orally to the control rats, DMIA rats, and DMIA rats with insulin treatment for 3 weeks (DMIA rats with insulin). RESULTS. After intravenous administration of metformin to the DMIA rats, the CLR and CLNR of the drug were significantly slower than the controls. After oral administration of metformin to the DMIA rats, the AUC of the drug was also significantly greater than the controls. After intravenous administration of metformin to the DMIA rats with insulin, the significantly slower CLNR of the drug in the DMIA rats was returned to the controls. The altered pharmacokinetic indices observed following intravenous and oral administration of metformin to DMIA rats returned to the control values in the DMIA rats with insulin. CONCLUSIONS. The significantly slower CLNR of metformin in the DMIA rats could be due to the decrease in hepatic CYP2C11 than the controls. The comparable CLNR of metformin between the DMIA rats with insulin and the control rats could be due to restoration of hepatic CYP enzyme changes in DMIA rats to the controls.

A rapid, simple and highly efficient analytical method for the targeted determination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole in serum samples has been developed and used to measure the pharmacokinetic curve of these medicinal substances after administration to chicken broilers. The pharmacokinetics properties of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole were investigated in clinically healthy broiler chickens after the single oral administration of the commercial preparation Methoxasol (Eurovet Animal Health, B.V., The Netherlands) at a dose of 0.275 ml/kg b.w. After a single dose drug administration, the chickens were sacrificed by decapitation under general anaesthesia by Isoflurin 1 000 mg/g (Vetpharma AH, Spain) and the blood was collected at precisely defined intervals: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 360 and 720 min after the administration. The serum concentrations of amoxicillin were determined using Q Exactive tandem mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) in conjunction with liquid chromatography. The detected pharmacokinetic parameters of trimethoprim after the oral administration were C<sub>max</sub> = 2.1 ± 1.0 µg/ml; T<sub>max</sub> = 1.5 h; t<sub>½</sub> = 0.88 h; k<sub>el</sub> = 0.009 3 ± 0.001 1 1/h; AUC<sub>t</sub> = 2.901 ± 1.4 µg.h/ml; AUC<sub>∞</sub> = 2.907 ± 1.5 µg.h/ml; V<sub>d</sub> = 2.632 l/kg; Cl = 2.7 l/h. The pharmacokinetic parameters of sulfamethoxazole after the oral administration were C<sub>max</sub> = 47.1 ± 15.3 µg/ml; T<sub>max</sub> = 1 h; t<sub>½</sub> = 1.92 h; k<sub>el</sub> = 0.004 6 ± 0.000 3 1/h; AUC<sub>t</sub> = 89.676 ± 26.9 µg.h/ml; AUC<sub>∞</sub> = 94.612 ± 28.4 µg.h/ml; V<sub>d</sub> = 0.584 l/kg; Cl = 0.21 l/h. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pharmacokinetic study of the combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in broiler chickens.

Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid present in citrus fruits and other plants belonging to the Rutaceae family. It is used for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) for its pheblotonic and vaso-active properties, safety and tolerability as well. The aim of the current in vivo study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of a branded micronized diosmin (μSMIN Plus™) compared with plain micronized diosmin in male Sprague-Dawley rats. After oral administration by gastric gavage, blood samples were collected via jugular vein catheters at regular time intervals from baseline up to 24 hours. Plasma concentrations were assessed by LC/MS. For each animal, the following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a non-compartmental analysis: maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-last), elimination half-life (t1/2), and relative oral bioavailability (%F). The results of the current study clearly showed an improvement in the pharmacokinetic parameters in animals treated with μSMIN Plus™ compared with animals treated with micronized diosmin. In particular, μSMIN Plus™ showed a 4-fold increased bioavailability compared with micronized diosmin. In conclusion, the results from the current study provided a preliminary pharmacokinetic profile for μSMIN Plus™, which may represent a new tool for CVI management.

Objective: A new compound of salicylic acid derivative, namely 2-((3-(chloromethyl)benzoyl)oxy)benzoic acid (3CBB), was synthesized to find a compound exhibiting higher analgesic activity and smaller ulcer irritation than acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of this new compound in rats, following a single dose oral administration of 3CBB (45 mg/kg BW). Methods: Plasma samples of 9 healthy rats were collected before and up to 3 h after its oral administration, following an 18 h fasting period. Plasma concentrations of 3CBB were determined using a validated HPLC-DAD assay. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using the compartment model technique. All experiments were carried out in triplicate. Results: The pharmacokinetic parameters of 3CBB obtained were as follows: Tmax= 28.9±1.1 min, Cmax = 0.57±0.02 µg/ml, AUCtotal = 66.3±1.0 µg min/ml, Kel = 0.018±0.002 min-1, and T1/2el = 39.4±3.9 min. The long elimination half-life and low Cmax indicated that 3CBB was extensively distributed in the deep and very deep tissues. This confirmed the unique and special characteristics of a highly lipophilic compound like 3CBB (log P = 3.73). Conclusion: 3CBB demonstrated a slower onset of action and longer elimination time from the body compared to ASA. Thus this new compound is a potential candidate to be developed as a new drug.

Objective To delineate the plasma pharmacokinetics and determine the corneal uptake of valine based stereoisomeric dipeptide prodrugs of acyclovir (ACV) in rats. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the study. Pharmacokinetics of ACV, L-valine-acyclovir (LACV), L-valine-D-valine-acyclovir (LDACV) and D-valine-L-valine acyclovir (DLACV) prodrugs were delineated. These compounds were administered intravenously as a bolus via jugular vein cannula and orally by gavage. Samples were purified by protein precipitation method and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Pertinent pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained by using WinNonlin. Corneal uptake studies of LDACV and LACV were studied following oral administration. Results Following i.v. administration, the area under the curve (AUC) in μM*min of generated ACV was in the order of LACV > LDACV > DLACV indicating their rate of metabolism. The AUC values of total drug obtained in the systemic circulation after oral administration LACV and LDACV were 1077.93 ± 236.09 and 1141.76 ± 73.67 μM*min, respectively. DLACV exhibited poor oral absorption. Cmax (μM) and AUC of the intact prodrug obtained in the systemic circulation following oral administration of LDACV were almost 4–5 times higher than LACV. Moreover, concentrations achieved in the cornea after oral administration of LDACV were almost two times of LACV. Conclusions LDACV increased both the oral bioavailability and subsequent in vivo corneal uptake of ACV Hence, LDACV can be considered as the most promising drug candidate for delivery of ACV, in treatment of both genital herpes and ocular herpes keratitis after oral administration.

Abstract Background: Conditioning regimens preceding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for various malignant and non-malignant diseases in children often include busulfan. Busulfan administration may be complicated by hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). A relationship has been described between high systemic exposure to busulfan after oral administration, as measured by area under the curve (Bu-AUC) and HVOD. Recently, IV busulfan (IV Bu) administration has been reported to be associated with a much lower incidence of HVOD than oral administration in adults. Objectives: To describe the pharmacokinetics of IVBu in infants (&lt;1 year of age) and children. To determine the incidence of HVOD in children undergoing conditioning with IV Bu, and to correlate IV Bu AUC with the development of HVOD and neutrophil engraftment. Methods: Twenty-four children who underwent HSCT at The Hospital for Sick Children between April 2003 and September 2004 and received IV Bu as part of their conditioning regimen were included in this retrospective study. Diagnoses included: AML (6), metabolic storage disease (6), immune deficiency syndromes (4), histiocytosis (2), beta-thalassemia (2), WAS (1), MDS (1), CML (1), relapsed meduloblastoma (1). Initial IV Bu doses were based on actual patient weight: &lt;9kg =0.95mg/kg/dose; 9–16kg =1.2mg/kg/dose; 16–23kg =1.1mg/kg/dose; 24–34kg =0.95mg/kg/dose; &gt;34kg =0.8mg/kg/dose. Seven blood samples were drawn after the first IV Bu dose for determination of plasma busulfan concentrations. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using 1-compartment analysis (WinNonLin 4.1). The third and subsequent IV Bu doses were adjusted to achieve an AUC of 900–1500μMol•min. HVOD (modified Baltimore criteria) and engraftment (ANC &gt; 0.5 x 109/L) were evaluated. Results: The median patient age was 3.5 years (range 3mo–16.9yrs), including 9 infants. Mean IV Bu pharmacokinetic parameters were: Cmax=4.7±0.9μMol; Vss=0.70±0.22L/kg; ke=0.005±0.001min−1; AUC=1256±320μMol•min. The mean IV Bu AUC of infants was not different from older children (1164μ±331Mol•min vs. 1311±311μMol•min; p=0.35). The mean Vss was higher in infants than older children (0.84±0.29L/kg vs. 0.62±0.10L/kg; p=0.025), but the mean clearance was not different when corrected for body weight. Twenty-three patients (95.8%) engrafted between day +10 to +27. HVOD was diagnosed in 6 patients (25%), including 3 infants. Five patients had moderate HVOD and one had fatal HVOD. Mean IV Bu AUC was 1317±310μMol•min and 1074±299μMol•min in the non- HVOD vs. the HVOD group, respectively (p=0.10). The number of children who did not engraft precluded assessment of the relationship between IV Bu AUC and engraftment. Conclusions: Busulfan Vss differs significantly between infants and older children. A significant proportion of patients developed HVOD. No association was observed between IV Bu AUC and the development of HVOD in children where busulfan doses are adjusted to achieve a target IV Bu AUC.

Introduction: A rapid, sensitive and convenient ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (UPLC-MS/MS) method has been validated and applied to the simultaneous determination of kirenol, rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid after oral administration of the extract of Manxingshizhen preparation in rat plasma. Materials and Methods: Puerarin was selected as the internal standard (IS). The plasma sample preparation was pretreated by liquid-liquid extraction of the mixture with ethyl acetate. All analytes were simultaneously detected in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via both the positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) and negative electrospray ionization (ESI). In the experiment, all calibration curves revealed good linearity (r > 0.999). The LLOQ were between 0.80-2.00 ng/mL, respectively. Besides, the intra-day and inter-day precision ranged from 6.4 to 13.8%, respectively. Moreover, the accuracy was within - 11.4% and 12.8% for all the QC levels of all analytes. The extraction recoveries of the analytes and IS in plasma at three concentration levels ranged from 88.5 to 103.2%, moreover, the matrix effects of all the analytes and the IS were found to be satisfied with the acceptable range of 89.8%-101.7%. Meanwhile, the RSD values of stability met the requirement of not more than 15%. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic parameters of three compounds were analyzed using concentrationtime profiles. Conclusion and Results: Plasma concentrations of the three compounds were determined up to 24 h after oral administration, and their pharmacokinetic parameters were in agreement with previous studies. The validated method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study in rat plasma after oral administration of Manxingshizhen preparation.
