BMS-663068 is a phosphonooxymethyl ester prodrug under development for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The prodrug is designed to overcome the solubility-limited bioavailability of the active moiety, BMS-626529. BMS-663068 is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and requires enzymatic conversion by alkaline phosphatase to BMS-626529 immediately before absorption. In the light of the known short in vivo half-life of BMS-626529, compartmental absorption modeling was used to predict the potential feasibility of extended-release (ER) delivery to achieve target Cmax :Cmin ratios. To further refine the model with respect to colonic absorption, the regional absorption of BMS-626529 following delivery of BMS-663068 to upper and lower GI sites was characterized through a site of absorption study in human subjects. A refined model was subsequently applied to guide the development of ER tablet formulations. Comparisons of results from the refined model to the in vivo human pharmacokinetic data for three selected ER formulations demonstrate the utility of the model in predicting feasibility of ER delivery and in directing formulation development.

This study aimed to develop a quantitative analytical method for the simultaneous determination of cannabidiol (CBD) and melatonin (MT) in mouse plasma using the protein precipitation method coupled with LC-MS/MS. Additionally, this study sought to investigate the impact of CBD on the pharmacokinetics of MT in mice using this method. Mouse plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile and analyzed using a Kromasil 100-5-C8 (2.

Purpose: The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of direct-acting antivirals, namely ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF), might be altered in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), affecting the optimum dose needed for hepatitis C virus treatment. Limited data are available evaluating the population PK of LDV/SOF and SOF metabolite GS-331007. We aimed to study whether ALL could affect population PK parameters of LDV, SOF, and the SOF major metabolite GS-331007 in hepatitis C virus-infected children, develop and validate a predictive PK model of LDV/SOF disposition in this special population, and identify their explained and unexplained sources of variability.

Article Synopsis
- Manganese (Mn) is a crucial micronutrient for plants, involved in essential metabolic processes like photosynthesis and managing reactive oxygen species, with its imbalance affecting plant growth.
- Silicon (Si) can help plants adapt to manganese disorders by reducing Mn's availability in the soil, regulating Mn transporter genes, and enhancing Mn storage in cell walls and vacuoles.
- The minireview discusses Si's role in managing Mn levels in plants and suggests that more research is needed on how Si aids Mn absorption when plants are Mn-deficient.

Background: Studies among workers with a wide range of exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances inform risk assessments. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, was recently examined in relation to mortality and cancer incidence in an occupationally exposed population by Alexander et al. in 2024.

In the field of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD) modeling, which plays a pivotal role in the drug development process, traditional models frequently encounter difficulties in fully encapsulating the complexities of drug absorption, distribution, and their impact on targets. Although multi-compartment models are frequently utilized to elucidate intricate drug dynamics, they can also be overly complex. To generalize modeling while maintaining simplicity, we propose an innovative approach that enhances PK and integrated PK-PD modeling by incorporating fractional calculus or time-varying parameter(s), combined with constant or piecewise constant parameters.
