Article Abstract

Objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of trazodone hydrochloride (HCl) sustained-release tablets (TSR) and trazodone immediate-release formulation (TIR) and investigate the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of the drug in healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: Three open-label, randomized crossover trials of single-dose, multiple-dose, and food-drug interaction testing were conducted. A validated high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method was used to measure the plasma concentration of trazodone, and a non-compartment model was used to obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters. AUC and C dose proportionality were analyzed using a power model.

Results: TSR lacked dose proportionality over a dose range of 25 - 150 mg. In the food-drug interaction study, no significant changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug under the fed conditions were observed. Multiple dosage of TSR and TIR reached steady state after 7 days, with no accumulation phenomenon observed. The peak time and peak concentrations of TSR were significantly longer and lower, respectively, than those of TIR.

Conclusion: TSR showed clear sustained-release characteristics, and food exhibited no significant effects on the pharmacokinetic parameters of trazodone. TSR and TIR reached steady state levels after 7 consecutive days of administration, with no accumulation phenomenon observed.

Introduction: Pharmacokinetic differences between long-acting injectable antipsychotic (LAI) formulations, combined with a lack of clinical switch studies, contribute to clinician uncertainty when transitioning between LAIs. This analysis employed a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling approach to characterize dosing conversions and switching strategies from intramuscular paliperidone palmitate once monthly (PP1m) to TV-46000, a long-acting subcutaneous formulation of risperidone, once monthly (q1m), with a secondary analysis of PP1m to TV-46000 every 2 months (q2m).

Methods: For PP1m and TV-46000, concentration-time profiles for paliperidone and TV-46000 total active moiety (TAM; risperidone + paliperidone) were simulated on the basis of published popPK models with virtual populations of 5000 patients.

Background: Synergy between antibiotic pairs is typically discovered using chequerboard assays that assume uniform, static drug exposure; however, such conditions rarely apply in vivo. Dynamic and heterogeneous tissue environments create spatial and temporal mismatches in drug exposure that can uncouple synergistic interactions, leading to unexpected treatment failure.

Objective: This study aims to develop a physiologically relevant in vitro model that integrates infection-site microenvironments and drug-specific pharmacokinetics.

The study explored HSPiP and QbD-(quality by design) enabled optimized cubosomes for sustained drug release, improved permeation, and enhanced oral bioavailability. OCUB1 (the optimized product) was characterized for size, zeta potential (ZP), thermal analysis, and surface roughness. drug release and hemolysis studies were carried out using a dialysis membrane and rat erythrocytes (4 % suspension), respectively.

The NRF2/KEAP1 signaling pathway regulates the gene expression of numerous cytoprotective and detoxifying enzymes and is therefore essential for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Despite the increasing knowledge of NRF2 signaling complexity, dimethyl fumarate remains the sole NRF2-targeting therapy in clinical practice, used for multiple sclerosis. Ongoing research exploring the role of NRF2 in cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes, and cardiovascular, renal, and liver diseases holds significant promise for future therapeutic innovation.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a transformative class of cancer therapies that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxicity of potent drug payloads. This study presents the development and evaluation of a novel linker platform designed to enhance ADC stability and pharmacokinetics by addressing the limitations associated with traditional cleavable linkers. Using trastuzumab conjugated with a payload linker consisting of this platform and exo-EVC-Exatecan (APL-1082), we examined key parameters, including efficacy and pharmacokinetic profiles in rat models, to directly compare it with the clinically validated trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd, Enhertu).
