Ivacaftor is the first potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein approved for use alone in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Ivacaftor is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and therefore may interact with drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates, resulting in changes in plasma exposure to ivacaftor. The study determined the levels of ivacaftor and its active metabolite M1 by ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

Background And Objective: Pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are one of the major causes of adverse events in pharmacotherapy, and systematic prediction of the clinical relevance of DDIs is an issue of significant clinical importance. In a previous study, total exposure changes of many substrate drugs of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 caused by coadministration of inhibitor drugs were successfully predicted by using in vivo information. In order to exploit these predictions in daily pharmacotherapy, the clinical significance of the pharmacokinetic changes needs to be carefully evaluated.

We sought to understand the effect of a transient exposure of cardiac myocytes to H(2)O(2) at a concentration that did not induce apoptosis. Myocytes were exposed to 30 micromol/L H(2)O(2) for 5 minutes followed by 10 U/mL catalase for 5 minutes to degrade the H(2)O(2). Cellular superoxide was measured using dihydroethidium.

1,4-Dihydropyridines calcium channel antagonists (1,4-DHP CCAs) are photolabile and the products of their photodecomposition have no pharmaceutical activity. In our previous work we have presented a screening procedure for eleven 1,4-DHPs in plasma by LC-MS-MS using multiple reaction motoring. The laboratory process includes preparation and storage of stock solutions, plasma storage, solid-phase extraction, reconstitution of extracts and storage time in an autosampler for LC-MS-MS analysis.
