Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are globally prescribed, exhibit mainly anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects but also can cause adverse effects including gastrointestinal erosions, ulceration, bleeding, and perforation. The purpose of this study was to investigate surrogate biomarkers associated with the gastrointestinal (GI) damage caused by NSAID treatment using pattern recognition analysis of (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectra of rat urine. Urine was collected for 5h after oral administration of the following NSAIDs at low or high doses: acetylsalicylic acid (10 or 200mgkg(-1)), diclofenac (0.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have side effects including gastric erosions, ulceration and bleeding. In this study, pattern recognition analysis of the (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of urine was performed to develop surrogate biomarkers related to the gastrointestinal (GI) damage induced by indomethacin in rats. Urine was collected for 5 h after oral administration of indomethacin (25 mg kg(-1)) or co-administration with cimetidine (100 mg kg(-1)), which protects against GI damage.

For the quantification of azasetron in rat plasma samples, a column-switching HPLC method was developed and validated. Following dilution of plasma samples with mobile phase A (17 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 3.0)) and simple protein precipitation by addition of perchloric acid (60%), the mixture was directly injected onto the pre-column.

The primary objective of this study was to determine and characterize surrogate biomarkers that can predict nephrotoxicity induced by mercuric chloride (HgCl₂) using urinary proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectral data. A procedure for (1)H NMR urinalysis using pattern recognition was proposed to evaluate nephrotoxicity induced by HgCl₂ in Sprague-Dawley rats. HgCl₂ at 0.

The primary objective of this study was to develop exposure biomarkers that "correlate with the endocrine-disrupting effects induced by methoxyclor (MTC), an organochlorine pesticide, using" urinary (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data. Exposure biomarkers play an important role in risk assessment. MTC is an environmental endocrine disruptor with estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, and anti-androgenic properties.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, acute pain, and fever. However, NSAIDs have side effects that include gastric erosions, ulceration, bleeding, and perforation, etc. Selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors have been developed to avoid the adverse drug reaction of traditional NSAIDs.

A simple and direct analysis using column-switching HPLC method was developed and validated for the quantification of active metabolites of sibutramine, N-mono-desmethyl metabolite (metabolite 1, M1) and N-di-desmethyl metabolite (metabolite 2, M2) in the serum of rats administered sibutramine HCl (5.0 mg/kg, p.o.

This study is to research the quantitative structure-permeability relationship of 20 drugs having similar structure. Permeability was determined by using the Caco-2 cell in vitro model. The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of each drug both of apical to basolateral side and basolateral to apical side was measured at the concentration corresponding to 0.
