Viewed Using Both Models (With Or Without the Passive Component) Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacogenetic Studies of Flavopiridol and its Glucuronide Metabolite DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Wenjun Ni Graduate Program in Pharmacy The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mitch A. Phelps, Advisor Dr. M. Guillaume Wientjes Dr. Robert Lee Copyright by Wenjun Ni 2011 Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia in Western world. Flavopiridol (Alvocidib, NSC 649890), as a pan cyclin-dependent kinases inhibitor (CDKI), initiates cell cycle arrest and p53-independent apoptosis through down- regulation of Mcl-1 and X-linked inactivator of apoptosis (XIAP). A novel pharmacokinetically (PK)-based dosing schedule with a 30-minute intravenous bolus loading dose (IVB) followed by a 4-hour continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI) in patients with refractory CLL produced an approximately 50% overall response rate. A major flavopiridol metabolite, flavopiridol glucuronide (flavo-G), was as also evaluated in this study. In order to fully understand the between-subject variability (BSV) between patients, a phase 1 CLL patient data set (OSU0055) was evaluated and a two- compartment flavopiridol PK model followed by first-order elimination was developed by nonlinear mixed effects modeling. Bilirubin level was shown as a significant covariate, and OATP1B1 was first time discovered having a significant correlation with flavopiridol PK parameters. A functional analysis in vitro study was done to confirm that flavopiridol and flavo-G are substrates of OATP1B1. Since cellular redox status is important on cell survival and previous studies showed that flavopiridol can induce the decrease of intracellular GSH levels in transformed cells, glutathione (GSH) level was evaluated among leukemia cell models and patient’s CLL cells. The change in GSH level ii compared to baseline after flavopiridol treatment varied among cell models and individual patient. In order to evaluate flavo-G with flavopiridol treatment, a linked parent-metabolite population PK model was developed. This model was expanded to include a pharmacodynamic logistic-regression component linked to flavopiridol exposure level. This developing PK-PD-PG model of flavopiridol will help to characterize the factors associated with inter-individual variability in drug disposition and outcomes, and provide us better understanding of the mechanisms and factors governing the balance between safety and efficacy. iii Dedication This document is dedicated to my family. iv Acknowledgments This thesis would not have been possible without the support of many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my adviser, Dr. Mitch A.

Lasmiditan, ubrogepant, rimegepant and monoclonal antibodies (erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab, and eptinezumab) are new drugs that were launched on the US pharmaceutical market; some of them also in Europe. This publication reviews the available worldwide references on the safety of these anti-migraine drugs with a focus on the possible drug–drug (DDI) or drug–food interactions. As is known, bioavailability of a drug and, hence, its pharmacological efficacy depend on its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, which may be altered by drug interactions. This paper discusses the interactions of gepants and lasmiditan with, i.a., serotonergic drugs, CYP3A4 inhibitors, and inducers or breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors. In the case of monoclonal antibodies, the issue of pharmacodynamic interactions related to the modulation of the immune system functions was addressed. It also focuses on the effect of monoclonal antibodies on expression of class Fc gamma receptors (FcγR). Keywords: migraine; lasmiditan; gepants; monoclonal antibodies; drug–drug interactions 1. Introduction Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by a repetitive, usually unilateral, pulsating headache with attacks typically lasting from 4 to 72 h.

  • The Need for Mathematical Modelling of Spatial Drug Distribution Within the Brain Esmée Vendel1, Vivi Rottschäfer1 and Elizabeth C
    Vendel et al. Fluids Barriers CNS (2019) 16:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12987-019-0133-x Fluids and Barriers of the CNS REVIEW Open Access The need for mathematical modelling of spatial drug distribution within the brain Esmée Vendel1, Vivi Rottschäfer1 and Elizabeth C. M. de Lange2* Abstract The blood brain barrier (BBB) is the main barrier that separates the blood from the brain. Because of the BBB, the drug concentration-time profle in the brain may be substantially diferent from that in the blood. Within the brain, the drug is subject to distributional and elimination processes: difusion, bulk fow of the brain extracellular fuid (ECF), extra-intracellular exchange, bulk fow of the cerebrospinal fuid (CSF), binding and metabolism. Drug efects are driven by the concentration of a drug at the site of its target and by drug-target interactions. Therefore, a quantita- tive understanding is needed of the distribution of a drug within the brain in order to predict its efect. Mathemati- cal models can help in the understanding of drug distribution within the brain. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of system-specifc and drug-specifc properties that afect the local distribution of drugs in the brain and of currently existing mathematical models that describe local drug distribution within the brain. Furthermore, we provide an overview on which processes have been addressed in these models and which have not. Altogether, we conclude that there is a need for a more comprehensive and integrated model that flls the current gaps in predicting the local drug distribution within the brain.

  • Supporting Information
    Supporting Information Pouryahya et al. SI Text Table S1 presents genes with the highest absolute value of Ricci curvature. We expect these genes to have significant contribution to the network’s robustness. Notably, the top two genes are TP53 (tumor protein 53) and YWHAG gene. TP53, also known as p53, it is a well known tumor suppressor gene known as the "guardian of the genome“ given the essential role it plays in genetic stability and prevention of cancer formation (1, 2). Mutations in this gene play a role in all stages of malignant transformation including tumor initiation, promotion, aggressiveness, and metastasis (3). Mutations of this gene are present in more than 50% of human cancers, making it the most common genetic event in human cancer (4, 5). Namely, p53 mutations play roles in leukemia, breast cancer, CNS cancers, and lung cancers, among many others (6–9). The YWHAG gene encodes the 14-3-3 protein gamma, a member of the 14-3-3 family proteins which are involved in many biological processes including signal transduction regulation, cell cycle pro- gression, apoptosis, cell adhesion and migration (10, 11). Notably, increased expression of 14-3-3 family proteins, including protein gamma, have been observed in a number of human cancers including lung and colorectal cancers, among others, suggesting a potential role as tumor oncogenes (12, 13). Furthermore, there is evidence that loss Fig. S1. The histogram of scalar Ricci curvature of 8240 genes. Most of the genes have negative scalar Ricci curvature (75%). TP53 and YWHAG have notably low of p53 function may result in upregulation of 14-3-3γ in lung cancer Ricci curvatures.

Abstract Roshanbin, S. 2016. Characterization of Centrally Expressed Solute Carriers. Histological and Functional Studies with Transgenic Mice. (. His). Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1215. 62 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9555-8. The Solute Carrier (SLC) superfamily is the largest group of membrane-bound transporters, currently with 456 transporters in 52 families. Much remains unknown about the tissue distribution and function of many of these transporters. The aim of this thesis was to characterize select SLCs with emphasis on tissue distribution, cellular localization, and function. In paper I, we studied the leucine transporter B0AT2 (Slc6a15). Localization of B0AT2 and Slc6a15 in mouse brain was determined using in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), localizing it to neurons, epithelial cells, and astrocytes. Furthermore, we observed a lower reduction of food intake in Slc6a15 knockout mice (KO) upon intraperitoneal injections with leucine, suggesting B0AT2 is involved in mediating the anorexigenic effects of leucine.
