Influence of diosmin pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of chlorzoxazone in healthy male volunteers.

Chlorzoxazone, a centrally acting muscle relaxant, is a probe for cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). The first part of the study consisted of oral administration of 250 mg of chlorzoxazone (Paraflex 250 tablet) alone to 12 healthy male volunteers. Blood samples were collected from the antecubital vein at intervals of 0, 0.

Influence of some bioflavonoids on the transport of nitrendipine.

Flavonoids form a large class of phenolic substances widely distributed in nature and exhibit several biological effects. P-glycoprotein is part of a large family of efflux transporters found in the gut, gonads and other organs. Male albino rats were used for this study.

Bioavailability of diclofenac sodium after pretreatment with diosmin in healthy volunteers.

Diclofenac sodium is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It undergoes extensive Phase I and Phase II metabolism and in vitro it is a specific CYP2C9 substrate. The first part of the study consisted of oral administration of 100 mg of diclofenac sodium (Voveran100) to 12 healthy male volunteers.

Study on the influence of silymarin pretreatment on metabolism and disposition of metronidazole.

A clinical study was undertaken in 12 healthy volunteers. At first, subjects received metronidazole (CAS 443-48-1; a substrate for cytochrome CYP3A4 and CYP2C9) alone at a dose of 400 mg every 8 h for 3 days. On day 4, blood and urine were collected at different time points and metronidazole levels were measured.

Validated high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of phenytoin, phenobarbital and carbamazepine in human serum.

A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of phenytoin (CAS 57-41-0), phenobarbital (CAS 50-06-6, phenobarbitone) and carbamazepine (CAS 298-46-4) is described. The serum was extracted with ethyl acetate, the dried extract was reconstituted in mobile phase and the aliquot was injected. The eluent drugs were detected at 230 nm.

Diosmin pretreatment affects bioavailability of metronidazole.

Objective: To screen for inhibitory effects of diosmin on cytochrome P(450)-mediated metabolism of metronidazole in healthy volunteers.

Design: Before/after non-blinded investigation conducted in healthy male volunteers.

Methods: After an overnight fast, metronidazole (two 400-mg tablets) was administered to 12 volunteers, either alone or after a 9-day pretreatment period with a once-daily dose of diosmin 500-mg tablets under direct observation.

Validated HPLC method for determination of chlorzoxazone in human serum and its application in a clinical pharmacokinetic study.

A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of chloroxazone in human serum using phenacetin as internal standard (IS) is described. Protein precipitation is used for preparation of the sample. A mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.

Synthesis of new 2-substituted-[1,3,4]-oxadiazino-[6,5-b]-indoles with H1-antihistaminic, antimuscarinic and antimicrobial activity [corrected].

New 2-substituted-[1,3,4]-oxadiazino-[5,6-b]-indoles have been prepared and tested for their antibacterial, antifungal, H1-antihistaminic and antimuscarinic activities. Among them, compounds 5b, 5d, 5k exhibited higher H1-antihistaminic activity than pheniramine maleate. Compounds 5c, 5d showed higher antibacterial activity than ampicillin against Staphylococcus aureus and E.

Validated HPLC method for the determination of tinidazole in human serum and its application in a clinical pharmacokinetic study.

A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of tinidazole in human serum using metronidazole as internal standard (IS) is described. Protein precipitation is used for the preparation of sample. Mobile phase consisting of 0.

Influence of rice bran oil on serum lipid peroxides and lipids in human subjects.

To study the effect of rice bran oil (RBO) on serum lipids and lipid peroxides in human volunteers. Nine healthy volunteers, aged between 42 to 57 years were given 75 ml of RBO thrice daily as the cooking medium with break fast, lunch and dinner for a period of 50 days. At the beginning and at the end of 50 days, 5 ml of blood were drawn from an ante cubital vein.
