This study aimed to establish a physiologically relevant in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) model reflecting site-dependent dissolution kinetics for sildenafil based on population-pharmacokinetic (POP-PK) modeling. An immediate release (IR, 20 mg) and three sustained release (SR, 60 mg) sildenafil tablets were prepared by wet granulation method. In vitro dissolutions were determined by the paddle method at pH 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8 media. The in vivo pharmacokinetics were assessed after oral administration of the prepared IR and SR formulations to Beagle dogs (n = 12). The dissolution of sildenafil from SR formulations was incomplete at pH 6.8, which was not observed at pH 1.2 and pH 4.5. The relative bioavailability was reduced with the decrease of the dissolution rate. Moreover, secondary peaks were observed in the plasma concentration-time curves, which may result from site-dependent dissolution. Thus, a POP-PK model was developed to reflect the site-dependent dissolution by separately describing the dissolution and absorption processes, which allowed for estimation of the in vivo dissolution of sildenafil. Finally, an IVIVC was established and validated by correlating the in vitro and in vivo dissolution rates. The present approach may be applied to establish IVIVC for various drugs with complex dissolution kinetics for the development of new formulations.

Tryptophan, a precursor of important molecules such as serotonin, melatonin and niacin, is an essential amino acid for dogs. In pigs, tryptophan supplementation has been shown to induce a significant increase in food intake. The aim of the present study was to assess whether long-term tryptophan supplementation increases voluntary food intake in dogs and to observe whether this was accompanied by a change in serum ghrelin. In the present study, sixteen adult Beagle dogs were used, with four male and four female dogs fed diets supplemented with tryptophan (1 g/dog per d) during 81 d (Trp) and four male and four female dogs that were not supplemented (control). A voluntary food intake test was performed during 5 d following the supplementation period. The Trp group tended to show a higher food intake during the voluntary food intake test (58·0 (se 5·37) v. 77·5 (se 3·65) g/kg metabolic weight per d; P = 0·074). No significant differences were found for serum ghrelin concentrations.

Objective: The continuing rise of prescription drug abuse has greatly necessitated the development of an abuse-deterrent formulation. Geopolymers are a promising base for drug design as they allow for tuneable drug release and possess superior physical and chemical properties compared with conventional pharmaceutical excipients.Methods: Geopolymer pellets containing zolpidem tartrate were administrated orally to beagle dogs as a controlled-release formulation with the commercial immediate-release product, Stilnoct® tablets, as the control.Results: The administration of zolpidem tartrate as immediate-release tablets demonstrated an elevated immediate release plasma profile and the zolpidem tartrate in the geopolymers demonstrated a controlled-release plasma profile. The pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that immediate-release tablet administration generated much higher plasma concentration when compared with geopolymer pellets administration for zolpidem tartrate. On the other hand, the geopolymer formulation prolonged the time of drug release.Conclusion: Oral administration of zolpidem tartrate in geopolymer pellets demonstrated a controlled-release plasma profile.
