Pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of mesalazine enema in healthy Chinese subjects: A single- and multiple-dose study.

Mesalazine is a well-established treatment for ulcerative colitis by oral or topical administration. However, the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles of mesalazine administered by an enema has not been clarified in Chinese population. We conducted an open-label study to assess the PK and safety profiles of mesalazine in 11 healthy Chinese subjects after receiving mesalazine enema (1 g/100 mL) once daily for 7 consecutive days.

Single-Ascending-Dose, Food-Effect, and Multiple-Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of the Pangenotypic Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Drug Holybuvir in Healthy Chinese Subjects.

Holybuvir is a novel pangenotypic hepatitis C virus NS5B inhibitor. This first in-human study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of holybuvir and its metabolites and the effect of food on the PK of holybuvir and its metabolites in healthy Chinese subjects. A total of 96 subjects were enrolled in this study which included (i) a single-ascending-dose (SAD) study (100 to 1,200 mg), (ii) a food-effect (FE) study (600 mg), and (iii) a multiple-dose (MD) study (400 and 600 mg once daily for 14 days).

Population pharmacokinetics of levornidazole in healthy subjects and patients, and sequential dosing regimen proposal using pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis.

Although sequential treatment with levornidazole has been used for anaerobic infection in clinical practice, there is no evidence-based dosing regimen. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of levornidazole in healthy subjects and patients, and to propose an evidence-based sequential dosing regimen by pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis. A population PK model was built using the data of 116 Chinese subjects, including 88 healthy young subjects, 12 healthy elderly subjects, and 16 patients with intra-abdominal anaerobic infection.

Pharmacokinetic evaluation and relative bioavailability pilot study of fidaxomicin in healthy Chinese subjects: An open, randomized, single-dose, cross-over study.

Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, investigate relative bioavailability, and provide data for potential additional bioequivalence trials between generic fidaxomicin (test (T) formulation) and the original brand (reference (R) formulation) in healthy Chinese subjects.

Materials And Methods: An open, randomized, single-dose, cross-over study was conducted in 18 healthy Chinese subjects. The subjects randomly received T or R formulations and the alternative formulations were received after a 14-day wash-out period.

Short-term Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of MRX-I, an Oxazolidinone Antibacterial Agent, in Healthy Chinese Subjects.

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of MRX-I tablet, an oxazolidinone antibacterial agent, in healthy Chinese subjects.

Methods: The study was composed of 3 sequential periods. Period 1 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential ascending dose (50 to 1800 mg) study.

Improved pharmacokinetic profile of levornidazole following intravenous infusion of 750mg every 24h compared with 500mg every 12h in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Levornidazole is the levo-isomer of ornidazole with similar anti-anaerobic activity and lower central neurotoxicity compared with ornidazole. This open-label, parallel, randomised, multidose trial was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of levornidazole following intravenous (i.v.

LC-MS/MS determination of colistin in Mueller-Hinton broth for in vitro pharmacodynamic studies.

A rapid and simple method was developed and validated for the determination of colistin A and B in Mueller-Hinton broth using LC-tandem MS. Both analyte and internal standard (IS) (polymyxin B1) were determined using ESI. The MS data were obtained via the selected reaction monitoring in positive-ion mode.

Quantification of levornidazole and its metabolites in human plasma and urine by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

We developed and validated an ultra-performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of levornidazole and its first-pass metabolites, l-chloro-3-(2-hydroxymethyl-5-nitro-l-imidazolyl)-2-propanol (Ml), 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (M2) and 3-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-1,2-propanediol (M4), in human plasma and urine. The biological samples were pretreated by protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed using an ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18 column (2.1×50 mm, 1.

Development and validation of a new ultra-performance liquid chromatographic method for vancomycin assay in serum and its application to therapeutic drug monitoring.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an ultra-performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method with photodiode array detector for the measurement of vancomycin in human serum samples for therapeutic drug monitoring or other applications.

Methods: The method included the extraction of vancomycin in serum by deproteinization with acetonitrile. The analyses were carried out using an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C(18) column (2.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nemonoxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae in an in vitro infection model.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of nemonoxacin, a novel nonfluorinated quinolone, against Streptococcus pneumoniae in vitro. A modified infection model was used to simulate the pharmacokinetics of nemonoxacin following scaling of single oral doses and multiple oral dosing. Four S.
