Population-Based Mechanistic Prediction of Oral Drug Absorption
The bioavailability of drugs from oral formulations is influenced by many physiological factors including gastrointestinal fluid composition, pH and dynamics, transit and motility, and metabolism and transport, each of w...
Regulatory Pathways for ATP-binding Cassette Transport Proteins in Kidney Proximal Tubules
The ATP-binding cassette transport proteins (ABC transporters) represent important determinants of drug excretion. Protective or excretory tissues where these transporters mediate substrate efflux include the kidney prox...
Inactivation of hepatic enzymes by inhalant nitrite—In vivo and in vitro studies
We examined the effects of acute isobutyl nitrite (ISBN) exposure on the activity of several hepatic enzymes. Two strains of adult male mice (Balb/c and C57BL/6) were exposed to 900 ppm ISBN or ambient air for 45 minutes...
Mutant glycosyltransferases assist in the development of a targeted drug delivery system and contrast agents for MRI
The availability of structural information on glycosyltransferases is beginning to make structure-based reengineering of these enzymes possible. Mutant glycosyltransferases have been generated that can transfer a sugar r...
Metrics for the Evaluation of Bioequivalence of Modified-Release Formulations
Metrics are discussed which are used for the evaluation of bioequivalence of modified-release formulations. In order to ensure the therapeutic equivalence of the compared drug products, it would be important to contrast...
