AbstractNeural vasculature forms the blood–brain barrier against the delivery of systemically administered therapeutic drugs into parenchyma of neural tissues. Therefore, procedures to open the blood–brain barrier with minimal damage to tissues would lead to the great progress in therapeutic strategy for intractable neural diseases. In this study, through analyses with mouse in vitro brain microvascular endothelial cells and in vivo neural vasculature, we demonstrate that the administration of cyclophilin A (CypA), a ligand of basigin which is expressed in barrier-forming endothelial cells, realizes the artificial opening of blood–brain barrier. Monolayers of endothelial cells lost their barrier properties through the disappearance of claudin-5, an integral tight junction molecule, from cell membranes in a transient and reversible manner. Furthermore, the intravenous injection of a single dose of CypA into mice resulted in the opening of blood–brain barrier for a certain period which enabled the enhanced delivery of systemically administered doxorubicin into the parenchyma of neural tissues. These findings that the pre-injection of a single dose of CypA realizes an artificial, transient as well as reversible opening of blood–brain barrier are considered to be a great step toward the establishment of therapeutic protocols to overcome the intractability of neural diseases.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bioavailability of locally produced 2.5 mg terbutaline sulphate tablets (brand A ) relative to a reference product, Bricanyl 2.5 mg tablets (brand 6). The study was a single dose 5 mg randomized crossover one in 15 healthy volunteers in the fasting state. Urine was collected at intervals of 24 h. Total terbutaline excreted in urine as unchanged drug and as conjugates (sulphate and glucuronide) was determined by a developed and validated HPLC method. In-vitro characteristics of both brands were similar. Based on percent of the dose excreted in urine, the oral bioavailability ranged from 33.5% to 75.8% for both brands. Statistics were applied to judge bioequivalence according to USP 24 in-vivo bioequivalence guidance. Results indicated that brand A and B were bioequivalent and hence interchangeable in medical practice.

The rhizome ofRheum palmatum(RP) is a commonly used herb in clinical Chinese medicine. Phenytoin (PHT) is an antiepileptic with narrow therapeutic window. This study investigated the acute and chronic effects of RP on the pharmacokinetics of PHT in rat. Rats were orally administered with PHT (200 mg/kg) with and without RP decoction (single dose and seven doses of 2 g/kg) in a crossover design. The serum concentrations of PHT, PHT glucuronide (PHT-G), 4-hydroxyphenytoin (HPPH), and HPPH glucuronide (HPPH-G) were determined by HPLC method. Cell line models were used to identify the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that coadministration of single dose or multiple doses of RP significantly decreased theCmaxand AUC0-tas well as theK10of PHT, PHT-G, HPPH, and HPPH-G. Cell line studies revealed that RP significantly induced the P-gp-mediated efflux of PHT and inhibited the MRP-2-medicated transport of PHT and HPPH. In conclusion, acute and chronic coadministrations of RP markedly decreased the oral bioavailability of PHT via activation of P-gp, although the MRP-2-mediated excretion of PHT was inhibited. It is recommended that caution should be exercised during concurrent use of RP and PHT.

Vildagliptin which is DPP-4 inhibitor and Remogliflozin which is SGLT2 inhibitor in single dose regimen lower blood glucose by separate, complementary mechanisms. Both are glucose dependent, accounting for the low risk of hypoglycaemia during treatment. There is no risk factors associated with this combination and moreover it is single dose regimen. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a simple, rapid and reproducible gradient high performance reverse phase liquid chromatography method for the estimation of Remogliflozin and Vildagliptin in bulk drug sample and in synthetic mixture using Xterra® Waters C18 column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 25°C with UV detection at 210 nm and for this gradient mode was used. The compounds were eluted gradiently at a flow rate of 1.0ml/min. The average retention times for Remogliflozin and Vildagliptin were 4.881 and 6.334 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear (r2 =0.988) over the concentration range 10-200 µg/ml for Remogliflozin and 10-200 µg/ml for Vildagliptin. No spectral or chromatographic interferences from formulation excipients were found and hence it was successfully applied for the determination of Remogliflozin and Vildagliptin in bulk and in synthetic mixture. The accuracy of the proposed method was determined by recovery studies and found to be 98-101%. The proposed method was validated and results conformed to ICH parameters.

Steady-state pharmacokinetics of hydroxychloroquine (HC) sulfate (Plaquenil) were studied in five volunteers with rheumatoid arthritis who had taken 6 mg/kg/d of the drug for at least six months. Blood samples were drawn at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours following an oral dose. Both whole blood and plasma were assayed by an HPLC method for HC and its metabolites desethylhydroxychloroquine, desethylchloroquine, and didesethylchloroquine. A 24-hour urine collection was obtained and assayed for the same compounds. The pharmacokinetics of HC and its metabolites conformed to the model predicted by single-dose studies. During the 24-hour period the absorption phase and both early and late distribution phases were seen. Variation in mean maximum/minimum concentration was 40 percent. Renal clearance accounted for only 16 percent of unchanged HC (22 percent of total drug and metabolites) and did not correlate with creatinine clearance.
