Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling of etoposide tumor growth inhibitory effect in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rat model using free intratumoral drug concentrations.

The purpose of this study was to establish a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model linking etoposide free tumor and total plasma concentrations to the inhibition of solid tumor growth in rats. Walker-256 tumor cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the right flank of Wistar rats, which were randomly divided in control and two treated groups that received etoposide 5 or 10mg/kg i.v.

Population Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Etoposide Free Concentrations in Solid Tumor.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine free etoposide (ETO) concentrations in two regions of Walker-256 (W256) solid tumor using microdialysis and to establish a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model to describe simultaneously free tumor and total plasma concentrations.

Methods: W256 tumor-bearing Wistar rats received ETO 10 or 20 mg/kg i.v.

Nanoencapsulation Improves Relative Bioavailability and Antipsychotic Effect of Olanzapine in Rats.

This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and antipsychotic activity of olanzapine administered as free drug (OLA-FREE) or loaded into lipid-core nanocapsules (OLA-LNC). OLA-LNC were successfully developed with a particle size of 142 ± 4 nm and a zeta potential of -19.6 ± 0.

HPLC-UV method for quantifying etoposide in plasma and tumor interstitial fluid by microdialysis: application to pharmacokinetic studies.

A simple and sensitive bioanalytical method was developed and validated for determination of etoposide in plasma and microdialysis samples of Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats. A microdialysis probe was implanted in the center of a subcutaneous tumor and Ringer's solution was used as perfusion medium. Chromatographic separation was conducted on a Shimadzu CLC-C8 column using a mobile phase consisting of water-acetonitrile (70:30; v/v) adjusted to pH 4.

Validation of LC-MS/MS method applied to evaluation of free tissue concentrations of vildagliptin in diabetic rats by microdialysis.

A novel LC-MS/MS method was developed for the quantification of vildagliptin in an aqueous matrix. The method was successfully validated, meeting all the requisites of US Food and Drug Administration guide for a bioanalytical method. The developed method presented a limit of quantification of 10 ng/mL and the range of concentration achieved was 10-1875 ng/mL.

Pre-clinical pharmacokinetics and acute toxicological evaluation of a monastrol derivative anticancer candidate LaSOM 65 in rats.

1. The present work investigated the pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution as well as acute toxicity of a new chemical entity (NCE), the anticancer candidate LaSOM 65 in Wistar rats. 2.

Pre-clinical pharmacokinetics of the acridine antitumour candidate AC04 and its 1-oxo-metabolite plasma profile.

This work aimed to investigate plasma pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of a new acridine derivative 5-acridin-9-ylmethylene-3-(4-methyl-benzyl)-thiazolidine-2,4-dione (AC04) and its 1-oxo-AC04 metabolite disposition in Wistar rats. After a single AC04 1.5 mg/kg intravenous (i.

Metabolism evaluation of the anticancer candidate AC04 by biomimetic oxidative model and rat liver microsomes.

Jacobsen reagents, in the presence of monooxygen donors, appear as an alternative to produce metabolites from biological active compounds. This reaction may mimic the oxidation and oxygenation reactions of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes upon various drugs and biologically active compounds. Acridines represent a well-known group of polyaromatic compounds capable of acting as DNA intercalating agents.
