A Mass Balance Study of C-Labeled JTZ-951 (Enarodustat), a Novel Orally Available Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent, in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis.

The mass balance, pharmacokinetics, and biotransformation of JTZ-951 (enarodustat), a novel hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor, were characterized in patients (N = 6) with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. Following a 10-mg (100 µCi) oral dose of C-JTZ-951, whole blood, feces, dialysate, and, if feasible, urine were obtained for pharmacokinetic assessments and for metabolite profiling and identification in appropriate matrices. Fecal excretion was the major route of elimination of radioactivity, and urinary excretion a minor route, with mean (coefficient of variation [%CV]) recovery of 77.

Characterization of gastrointestinal absorption of digoxin involving influx and efflux transporter in rats: application of mdr1a knockout (-/-) rats into absorption study of multiple transporter substrate.

1.  This study was aimed to characterize gastrointestinal absorption of digoxin using wild-type (WT) and multidrug resistance protein 1a [mdr1a; P-glycoprotein (P-gp)] knockout (-/-) rats. 2.
