Pharmacokinetic properties of two erlotinib 150 mg formulations with a genetic effect evaluation in healthy Korean subjects.

Background And Objective: Erlotinib is a drug used to treat non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and several other types of cancer. It is a reversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor that acts on the epidermal growth factor receptor and inhibits cell proliferation, growth, migration, invasion and survival. This study was performed for the subsequent marketing of a test erlotinib formulation in Korea.

Pharmacokinetics of a new orally soluble film formulation of sildenafil administered without water.

Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic profiles and to assess bioequivalence of a newly developed orally soluble film formulation of sildenafil, taken without water, with those of a conventional formulation of sildenafil.

Methods: This study was conducted in a population of healthy subjects as an open-label, randomized sequence, two-period, two-formulation, single-dose, crossover design. The subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 sequences of the two formulations: an orally soluble film (OSF) of 50 mg sildenafil as the test drug and a film-coated tablet (FCT) of 50 mg sildenafil as the reference drug.

UPLC-UV method for determination of risedronate in human urine.

This study was designed to develop a sensitive and rapid method for the quantitation of risedronate in human urine using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet detector (UPLC-UV) and to compare bioavailability parameter of 5, 35 and 150 mg risedronate. The mobile phase consisted of sodium phosphate buffer, 1 mM etidronate-acetonitrile (95:5, v/v), pH 9.0, and was pumped at a flow rate of 0.
