Investigation of the Performance of the Disintegration Test for Dietary Supplements
The aim of this study was to investigate how beaker size, basket assembly, use of disk, and immersion medium impact the disintegration time of dietary supplements. The disintegration times were determined for five tablet...
Risk Assessment of Drug Interaction Potential and Concomitant Dosing Pattern on Targeted Toxicities in Pediatric Cancer Patients
This investigation evaluated the impact of potential drug interactions on the incidence of reported toxicities seen with common dosing patterns in children with cancer, with the intent of being able to screen and reduce...
Transfection efficiency and toxicity of polyethylenimine in differentiated Calu-3 and nondifferentiated COS-1 cell cultures
In the present study, we evaluated polyethylenimine (PEI) of different molecular weights (MWs) as a DNA complexing agent for its efficiency in transfecting nondifferentiated COS-1 (green monkey fibroblasts) and well-diff...
A Semi-mechanistic Model for the Effects of a Novel Glucagon Receptor Antagonist on Glucagon and the Interaction Between Glucose, Glucagon, and Insulin Applied to Adaptive Phase II Design
A potent novel compound (MK-3577) was developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through blocking the glucagon receptor. A semi-mechanistic model was developed to describe the drug effect on glucagon...
A novel in vitro release method for submicron-sized dispersed systems
Sink conditions are often violated when using conventional release methods for dispersed systems. A novel reverse dialysis bag method was designed to overcome this problem. Model drug transport rates from submicron emuls...
