Article Abstract

Following the discovery of small molecule acyl piperazine ROMK inhibitors, the acyl octahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazine series was identified. This series displays improved ROMK/hERG selectivity, and as a consequence, the resulting ROMK inhibitors do not evoke QTc prolongation in an in vivo cardiovascular dog model. Further efforts in this series led to the discovery of analogs with improved pharmacokinetic profiles. This new series also retained comparable ROMK potency compared to earlier leads.

Nimodipine (NMP), a poorly water-soluble small-molecule agent, demonstrates notable therapeutic limitations in addressing cerebral vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Owing to its inherent physicochemical properties characterized by low oral bioavailability, rapid elimination half-life, and extensive first-pass metabolism, conventional formulations necessitate frequent dosing regimens to sustain therapeutic plasma concentrations. These pharmacological challenges collectively result in suboptimal patient adherence, marked plasma concentration fluctuations, and recurrent vascular irritation.

Impact of Albumin-Binding Moieties on Structure-Affinity-Pharmacokinetic Relationships of Novel FAP-Targeting Radioligands.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is an attractive biomarker for tumor-targeting radioligands. While [Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 is a promising FAP-targeting radioligand for cancer diagnosis, clinical application of [Lu]Lu-FAPI-46 for targeted radionuclide therapy is limited due to its insufficient tumor retention. Albumin binder (ALB) including 4-(-iodophenyl)butyric acid is widely utilized to improve tumor accumulation of radioligands.

Target controlled infusion in the intensive care unit: a scoping review.

Target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems, originally developed for intravenous drug administration of anesthetic drugs, enable precise drug delivery based on pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models. While widely used in the operating room, their application in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains limited despite the complexity of drug dosing in critically ill patients. This scoping review evaluates existing evidence on the use of TCI systems in ICU settings, focusing on sedation, analgesia, and antibiotic administration.

Detection and pharmacokinetics of licochalcone A in brains of neuroinflammatory mouse model.

Licochalcone A (LCA), a natural flavonoid with potent anti-inflammatory properties, has shown promise as a neuroprotective agent. However, its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exert central effects remains underexplored. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that LCA enhances cognitive function in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammatory mouse model and effectively penetrates the BBB.

Tamsulosin is a highly selective α1A adrenergic receptor antagonist that can relax smooth muscles in the urethra, bladder neck, and prostate and improve urinary disorders. It is therefore widely used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics and bioequivalence of 2 different formulations (tamsulosin sustained-release tablets and tamsulosin sustained-release capsules) in healthy Chinese subjects.
