Background: Local and systemic side effects of glucose remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Glucose transport during PD is thought to occur via inter-endothelial pathways, but recent results show that phloretin, a general blocker of facilitative glucose channels (glucose transporters [GLUTs]), markedly reduced glucose diffusion capacity indicating that some glucose may be transferred via facilitative glucose channels (GLUTs). Whether such transport mainly occurs into (absorption), or across (trans-cellular) peritoneal cells is as yet unresolved.

Unlabelled: Kaposi sarcoma is a rare angioproliferative disease associated with human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) infection. Kaposi sarcoma is frequent and aggressive in HIV-infected people, whereas the classic form (CKS) generally has an indolent course. Notably, all conventional therapies against Kaposi sarcoma have only temporary efficacy.

This study aimed at developing the Diamod® as a dynamic gastrointestinal transfer model with physically interconnected permeation. The Diamod® was validated by studying the impact of the intraluminal dilution of a cyclodextrin-based itraconazole solution and the negative food effect for indinavir sulfate for which clinical data are available demonstrating that the systemic exposure was strongly mediated by interconnected solubility, precipitation, and permeation processes. The Diamod® accurately simulated the impact of water intake on the gastrointestinal behavior of a Sporanox® solution.

Altered drug concentrations may induce unexpected toxicity or treatment failure; thus, understanding the factors that alter the pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs is crucial for optimal disease treatment. Vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear receptor, regulates the expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), which are crucial determinants of drug pharmacokinetics. In this study, we investigated the effects of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)D], a VDR ligand, on the metabolism, transport, and pharmacokinetics of indinavir, a dual substrate of CYP3A4 and MDR1.

Purpose: This study implements a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling approach to predict the effect of hydrastine and berberine, two major alkaloids present in goldenseal extract, on pharmacokinetics of imatinib and bosutinib.
Methods: PBPK models of hydrastine and berberine were developed in the Simcyp Simulator (version 17), integrating prior in vitro knowledge and published clinical pharmacokinetic data. The models account for reversible and irreversible (mechanism-based) inhibition of CYP3A enzymes as well as inhibition of the P-glycoprotein transporter.
