13-week repeated dose toxicity study of l-tyrosine in rats by daily oral administration.

To evaluate the potential toxicity of l-tyrosine, 4 groups of Crl:CD(SD) rats of both sexes were administered l-tyrosine in water suspension by gavage once daily for 13 weeks at doses of 0 (vehicle), 200, 600 or 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Findings related to l-tyrosine administration were as follows. Edema of the cornified layer at the limiting ridge or forestomach was seen in 600 mg/kg bw/day female group and in both sexes of 2000 mg/kg bw/day group.

Clinical trial of risedronate in Japanese volunteers: a study on the effects of timing of dosing on absorption.

Because of its chemical structure, risedronate was thought to form a complex with divalent cations, e.g., Ca(2+), and to be likely to show changes in the efficiency of absorbance from the gastrointestinal tract according to the presence of food.

Clinical trial of risedronate in Japanese volunteers: single and multiple oral dose studies.

The tolerability and pharmacokinetics of risedronate after a single oral administration and during multiple oral administrations were examined in healthy adult male volunteers. In the single dose study, the dose was increased gradually from 1 mg to 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 mg.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AJW200, a humanized monoclonal antibody to von Willebrand factor, in monkeys.

The interaction between platelet glycoprotein Ib and von Willebrand factor (vWF) plays a crucial role in platelet-mediated thrombus formation under high-shear-stress conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiplatelet profile of a humanized anti-vWF monoclonal antibody, AJW200. In vitro studies were performed with a modified cone-and-plate viscometer and human platelets.
