A 9-Month Toxicity and Toxicokinetic Assessment of Subcutaneous Pegylated Human C-peptide (CBX129801) in Cynomolgus Monkeys.

C-peptide is formed in the biosynthesis of insulin and is therefore deficient in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. A pegylated form of human synthetic C-peptide (CBX129801) has been developed to extend the half-life of the native peptide and is undergoing clinical investigation as replacement therapy to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This monkey study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of CBX129801 with weekly subcutaneous dosing for 39 weeks at dose levels of 0 (vehicle), 0.

Phase I study of intravenously administered ATI-1123, a liposomal docetaxel formulation in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Purpose: ATI-1123 is a liposomal formulation of docetaxel and may be administered without the premedications and hypersensitivity reactions. This Phase I study examines the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and antitumor activity of ATI-1123.

Methods: Patients with advanced solid malignancies received escalating doses of ATI-1123 intravenously over 1-h every 3 weeks.

Development of prodrug 4-chloro-3-(5-methyl-3-{[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-ylethoxy)phenyl]amino}-1,2,4-benzotriazin-7-yl)phenyl benzoate (TG100801): a topically administered therapeutic candidate in clinical trials for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of loss of vision in the industrialized world. Attenuating the VEGF signal in the eye to treat AMD has been validated clinically. A large body of evidence suggests that inhibitors targeting the VEGFr pathway may be effective for the treatment of AMD.

Cyclic conversion of the novel Src kinase inhibitor [7-(2,6-dichloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenyl]-amine (TG100435) and Its N-oxide metabolite by flavin-containing monoxygenases and cytochrome P450 reductase.

[7-(2,6-Dichloro-phenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-[4-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-phenyl]-amine (TG100435) is a novel multi-targeted Src family kinase inhibitor with demonstrated anticancer activity in preclinical species. Potent kinase inhibition is associated with TG100435 and its major N-oxide metabolite [7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyl-benzo[1,2,4]triazin-3-yl]-{4-[2-(1-oxy-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-ethoxy]-phenyl}-amine (TG100855). The objectives of the current study were to identify the hepatic enzyme(s) responsible for 1) the total metabolic flux of TG100435, 2) the formation of TG100855, and 3) the subsequent metabolism of TG100855.

An age-dependent physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model for the organophosphorus insecticide chlorpyrifos in the preweanling rat.

Juvenile rats are more susceptible than adults to the acute toxicity of organophosphorus insecticides like chlorpyrifos (CPF). Age- and dose-dependent differences in metabolism may be responsible. Of importance are CYP450 activation and detoxification of CPF to chlorpyrifos-oxon (CPF-oxon) and trichloropyridinol (TCP), as well as B-esterase (B-est) and PON-1 (A-esterase) detoxification of CPF-oxon to TCP.
