The relative mechanism is considered atypical in that it has no effects on the systemic exposure of this metabolite to bupropion in repeated dosing serotonergic system; rather, its efficacy in depression has been ranges from 5- to 15-fold (Johnston et al., 2001; Learned-Coughlin attributed to its ability to increase dopaminergic and noradrenergic et al., 2003; Benowitz et al., 2013). Given this significant difference, tone, presumably via blockade of the respective synaptic reuptake it has been suggested that hydroxybupropion, which has similar transporters: the dopamine reuptake transporter (DAT) and the inhibitory activity at the DAT, but is a more potent NET inhibitor than norepinephrine reuptake transporter (NET) (Fava et al., 2005). After bupropion, contributes significantly to bupropion’s efficacy (Ascher its approval for depression, bupropion was also marketed as a smoking et al., 1995; Bondarev et al., 2003; Damaj et al., 2004; Lukas et al., cessation aid (Zyban).

  • Prediction of Clinical Transporter‐Mediated Drug–Drug Interactions
    Citation: CPT Pharmacometrics Syst. Pharmacol. (2020) 9, 211–221; doi:10.1002/psp4.12505 ARTICLE Prediction of Clinical Transporter-Mediated Drug–Drug Interactions via Comeasurement of Pitavastatin and Eltrombopag in Human Hepatocyte Models Simon J. Carter1, Bhavik Chouhan2, Pradeep Sharma3 and Michael J. Chappell1,* A structurally identifiable micro-rate constant mechanistic model was used to describe the interaction between pitavastatin and eltrombopag, with improved goodness-of-fit values through comeasurement of pitavastatin and eltrombopag. Transporter association and dissociation rate constants and passive rates out of the cell were similar between pitavastatin and eltrom- bopag. Translocation into the cell through transporter-mediated uptake was six times greater for pitavastatin, leading to pronounced inhibition of pitavastatin uptake by eltrombopag. The passive rate into the cell was 91 times smaller for pitavas- tatin compared with eltrombopag. A semimechanistic physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to evaluate the potential for clinical drug–drug interactions (DDIs). The PBPK model predicted a twofold increase in the pita- vastatin peak blood concentration and area under the concentration-time curve in the presence of eltrombopag in simulated healthy volunteers. The use of structural identifiability supporting experimental design combined with robust micro-rate con- stant parameter estimates and a semimechanistic PBPK model gave more informed predictions of transporter-mediated DDIs. Study Highlights WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? model fits through micro-rate constants compared with ✔ Currently, most in vitro models are not guided by macro-rate constants in human hepatocytes, with addi- structural identifiability analysis, relying on substrate-only tional information provided regarding transporter binding.

  • 1. Disposition and Pharmacokinetics
    1. DISPOSITION AND PHARMACOKINETICS The disposition and pharmacokinetics of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds have been investigated in several species and under various exposure conditions. Several reviews on this subject focus on TCDD and related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (Neal et al., 1982; Gasiewicz et al., 1983a; Olson et al., 1983; Birnbaum, 1985; van den Berg et al., 1994). The relative biological and toxicological potency of TCDD and related compounds depends not only on the affinity of these compounds for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), but on the species-, strain-, and congener-specific pharmacokinetics of these compounds (Neal et al., 1982; Gasiewicz et al., 1983a; Olson et al., 1983; Birnbaum, 1985; van den Berg et al., 1994, DeVito and Birnbaum, 1995). 2,3,7,8-TCDD and other similar compounds discussed here are rapidly absorbed into the body and slowly eliminated, making body burden (bioaccumulation) a reliable indicator of time- integrated exposure and absorbed dose. Because of the slow elimination kinetics, it will be shown in this section that lipid or blood concentrations, which are often measured, are in dynamic equilibrium with other tissue compartments in the body, making the overall body burden and tissue disposition relatively easy to estimate. Finally, it will be shown that body burdens can be correlated with adverse health effects (Hardell et al., 1995; Leonards et al., 1995), further leading to the choice of body burden as the optimal indicator of absorbed dose and potential effects. 1.1. ABSORPTION/BIOAVAILABILITY FOLLOWING EXPOSURE Gastrointestinal, dermal, and transpulmonary absorptions represent potential routes for human exposure to this class of persistent environmental contaminants.

    The Impact of Assay Acceptance Criteria on Derived Data – Pharmacokinetic Assessment Through Simulation Oriol Peris – Charles River Laboratories EBF 2021 EVERY STEP OF THE WAY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY CONFIDENTIAL Objective • Samples analysed using chromatographic assays have an acceptance criteria for QCs of ±15%. In contrast, ligand binding assays have an acceptance criteria for QCs of ±20% • This could potentially lead to a greater variability introduced in samples analysed using ligand binding assays, compared to chromatographic assays. • The aim of this presentation is to assess, from a PK perspective, the impact that the variability associated to each of these methodologies may have in the assessment of the data. To do this: • Plausible data with and without variability needs to be generated • The generated data needs to be assessed using an objective method Methodology: Data generation • Concentration vs time profiles were simulated using open source R software and its library mrgsolve, under different scenarios • Low between subject variability (BSV) and 15% acceptance criterion for QCs • High BSV and 15% acceptance criterion for QCs • Low BSV and 20% acceptance criterion for QCs • High BSV and 20% acceptance criterion for QCs • To do this, it was assumed that all chromatographic and ligand binding assays may introduce up to ± 15 or ± 20% deviation from nominal concentrations • The data was simulated using a population 1 compartment extravascular PK model with parameters CL, Vd and Ka #$%$& • 1 compartment extravascular model � = ' �*&+$- − �*&'$- () &'*&+ Methodology: Data generation • PK compartmental models: • Set of exponential equations that are useful to model a concentration vs time profile • Define the body as divided in separate compartments where a compartment can be the body, blood circulatory system or a set of tissues or organs sharing similar affinity to a drug • PK compartmental models are useful as they are mathematically plausible and their parameters (i.e.

The motor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are secondary to a dopamine deficiency in the striatum. However, the degenerative process in PD is not limited to the dopaminergic system and also affects serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons. Because they can increase monoamine levels throughout the brain, monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MAUIs) represent potential therapeutic agents in PD. However, they are seldom used in clinical practice other than as antidepressants and wake-promoting agents. This review article summarises all of the available literature on use of 50 MAUIs in PD. The compounds are divided according to their relative potency for each of the monoamine transporters.

  • The Effect of Altering Brain CYP2B Activity on Nicotine Self-Administration Behaviour and Nicotine Levels in the Brain
    The Effect of Altering Brain CYP2B Activity on Nicotine Self-Administration Behaviour and Nicotine Levels in the Brain by Kristine Garcia A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology University of Toronto © Copyright by Kristine Garcia 2016 The Effect of Altering Brain CYP2B Activity on Nicotine Self- Administration and Nicotine Levels in the Brain Kristine Garcia Doctor of Philosophy Pharmacology and Toxicology University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play an important role in drug metabolism. While CYPs are abundantly expressed in the liver, where CYP-mediated drug metabolism typically occurs, these enzymes are also expressed in other tissues such as the brain. Local brain drug metabolism can influence the response to drugs that act within the brain. The CYP subfamily 2B (CYP2B) is expressed in the brain and is responsible for metabolizing many central nervous system (CNS)- acting drugs including nicotine, the main psychoactive ingredient in cigarettes. Genetic variation in human CYP2B6 is associated with greater conversion to nicotine dependence and risk of relapse in smokers without influencing peripheral nicotine metabolism. This suggests that local brain nicotine metabolism could influence nicotine levels that in turn mediate nicotine reinforcement and resulting behaviours. The role of brain CYP2B activity in nicotine reinforcement was investigated by injecting a pharmacological CYP2B inhibitor into the brain of rats that then underwent nicotine self-administration (NSA), which models smoking behaviour. Inhibitor-treatment increased NSA acquisition, motivation to obtain nicotine and the number of sessions required to extinguish behaviour, suggesting that inhibiting brain CYP2B activity can augment nicotine-reinforced behaviour.

This article is the second in a series of articles that aims to enhance the understanding of pharmacological principles relevant to nuclear medicine. This article will build on the introductory concepts, terminology and principles of pharmacodynamics explored in the first article in the series. Specifically, this article will focus on the basic principles associated with pharmacokinetics. Article 3 will outline pharmacology relevant to pharmaceutical interventions and adjunctive medications employed in general nuclear medicine, the fourth pharmacology relevant to pharmaceutical interventions and adjunctive medications employed in nuclear cardiology, the fifth the pharmacology related to contrast media associated with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the final article will address drugs in the emergency trolley. 2 Introduction As previously outlined (1), pharmacology is the scientific study of the action and effects of drugs on living systems and the interaction of drugs with living systems (1-7). For general purposes, pharmacology is divided into pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics (Figure 1). The principle of pharmacokinetics is captured by philosophy of Paracelsus (medieval alchemist); “only the dose makes a thing not a poison” (1,8,9).

Dacomitinib is taken orally once daily at 45 mg with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Oncology patients often can develop gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which may require management with an acid-reducing agent. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as rabeprazole, inhibit sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+-ATPase) pumps that stimulate acid secretion in the stomach and have a prolonged pharmacodynamic effect that extends beyond 24 h post-administration. The aim of this work was to characterize the absorption of dacomitinib via modeling with a particular interest in quantifying the impact of rabeprazole on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dacomitinib.
