The effect of repeated administration of rifabutin on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of isoniazid was evaluated in 6 healthy volunteers. The subjects received on day 1 and 9 a single oral dose of 300 mg isoniazid and from day 2 to 8 a single daily oral dose of 300 mg rifabutin. Two out of 6 subjects were shown to be rapid acetylators. No significant modification of the plasma pharmacokinetic profiles of isoniazid and acetylisoniazid was found. Evidence exists in the present study for autoinduction of rifabutin metabolism; this is shown by the lower plasma concentrations obtained 24 h after the seventh dose as compared to the theoretical concentrations.

Obesity significantly influences drug pharmacokinetics (PK), which challenges optimal dosing. This study examines the effects of diet-and-exercise-induced weight loss on key drug-metabolizing enzymes and gastric emptying in patients with obesity, who frequently require medications for comorbidities. Participants followed a structured weight management program promoting weight loss over 3-6 months and were not concomitantly on potential CYP inducers or inhibitors.

Knowledge of drug pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution is precious for ensuring patient safety and optimizing treatments. The varied use of local anesthetics, as well as the fact that anesthetics can sometimes have low therapeutic indices and numerous adverse drug reactions, makes any novel pharmacokinetics information valuable. The present manuscript describes a pharmacokinetic study of ropivacaine carried out after plane block anesthesia on an animal model, using high sensitivity, accurate, and precise LC-MS/MS bioanalysis.
