  • Addyi Generic Name: Flibanserin Manufacturer
    Brand Name: Addyi Generic Name: Flibanserin Manufacturer: Sprout Pharmaceuticals Drug Class: Central Nervous System Agent, Serotonin Agonist, Dopamine antagonist Uses: Labeled Uses: Indicated for the treatment of premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) as characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is NOT due to: A co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance. Unlabeled Uses: none. Mechanism of Action: The mechanism of action for flibanserin in the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder is unknown. Flibanserin has high affinity for serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) 1A receptors, as an agonist, and 5-HT2A receptors, as an antagonist, and moderate affinity for 5- HT2B, 5-HT2C, and dopamine D4 receptors as an antagonist Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Tmax 0.75 hours Vd 50L t ½ 11 hours Clearance Not reported Protein binding 98% (albumin) Bioavailability 33% Metabolism: Flibanserin is extensively metabolized primarily by CYP3A4 and, to a lesser extent, CYP2C19 to at least 35 metabolites, with most of the metabolites occurring in low concentrations in plasma. Elimination: Flibanserin is primarily excreted through the kidneys in to urine (44%) and feces (51%). Two metabolites could be characterized that showed plasma concentration similar to that achieved with flibanserin: 6,21-dihydroxy-flibanserin-6,21-disulfate and 6- hydroxy-flibanserin-6-sulfate. These two metabolites are inactive. Efficacy: Katz M, DeRogatis LR, Ackerman R, et al. Efficacy of flibanserin in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder: results from the BEGONIA trial.

  • M2021: Pharmacogenetic Testing
    Pharmacogenetic Testing Policy Number: AHS – M2021 – Pharmacogenetic Prior Policy Name and Number, as applicable: Testing • M2021 – Cytochrome P450 Initial Presentation Date: 06/16/2021 Revision Date: N/A I. Policy Description Pharmacogenetics is defined as the study of variability in drug response due to heredity (Nebert, 1999). Cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes are a class of enzymes essential in the synthesis and breakdown metabolism of various molecules and chemicals. Found primarily in the liver, these enzymes are also essential for the metabolism of many medications. CYP P450 are essential to produce many biochemical building blocks, such as cholesterol, fatty acids, and bile acids. Additional cytochrome P450 are involved in the metabolism of drugs, carcinogens, and internal substances, such as toxins formed within cells. Mutations in CYP P450 genes can result in the inability to properly metabolize medications and other substances, leading to increased levels of toxic substances in the body. Approximately 58 CYP genes are in humans (Bains, 2013; Tantisira & Weiss, 2019). Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that methylates azathioprine, mercaptopurine and thioguanine into active thioguanine nucleotide metabolites. Azathioprine and mercaptopurine are used for treatment of nonmalignant immunologic disorders; mercaptopurine is used for treatment of lymphoid malignancies; and thioguanine is used for treatment of myeloid leukemias (Relling et al., 2011). Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by the gene DPYD, is a rate-limiting enzyme responsible for fluoropyrimidine catabolism. The fluoropyrimidines (5-fluorouracil and capecitabine) are drugs used in the treatment of solid tumors, such as colorectal, breast, and aerodigestive tract tumors (Amstutz et al., 2018). A variety of cell surface proteins, such as antigen-presenting molecules and other proteins, are encoded by the human leukocyte antigen genes (HLAs).

The increase in the global population has entailed an increase in the demand for agriculture in recent decades. Accordingly, there has been worldwide pressure to find means to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural crops. Antifungal agents have been widely used as an alternative for managing fungal diseases affecting several crops. However, the unregulated use of antifungals can jeopardize public health.

In this study, the susceptibility pattern of voriconazole against lamentous fungi was studied using Sensititre® YeastOne and Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M38 broth microdilution method. Methods: The suspected cultures of Aspergillus niger, A. avus, A. fumigatus, A. versicolor, A. sydowii, A. calidoutus, A. creber, A. ochraceopetaliformis, A. tamarii, Fusarium solani, F. longipes, F. falciferus, F. keratoplasticum, Rhizopus oryzae, R. delemar, R. arrhizus, Mucor sp., Poitrasia circinans, Syncephalastrum racemosum and Sporothrix schenckii were received from hospitals. Their identication had been conrmed in our lab and susceptibility tests were performed using Sensititre® YeastOne and CLSI M38 broth microdilution method. The signicant differences between two methods were calculated using Wilcoxon Sign Rank test. Results: Mean of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium were within 0.25 μg/mL-2.00 μg/mL by two methods except A. calidoutus, F. solani and F. keratoplasticum.

  • Itraconazole (Sporonox ) & Voriconazole (Vfend )
    Itraconazole (Sporonox) & Voriconazole (Vfend) These are broad spectrum, anti-fungal agents that can be taken orally. They are very expensive approx $800- $1100/month). Although both these prescription medications are FDA approved for the treatment of mold or fungal infections, they do not have a specific indication for the treatment of fungal rhinosinusitis. Molds appear to be present in everyone's nasal and sinus passageways but in some individuals, the molds appear to cause disease. The explanation for this is unknown (See What is Rhinosinusitis?). As such, Insurers resist covering them for treatment of rhinosinusitis associated with the presence of molds.
