Background And Aim: Probe drugs have been widely used to assess the activities of various CYP450 (cytochromes P450) isoenzymes in many fields of drug metabolism and pharmacogenetics. The nephrotic syndrome characterized by massive proteinuria and hypoproteinemia, whether that would influence the pharmacokinetics of probe drugs or not is still unclear. The purpose of the study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic of four probe drugs in adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy rat.
Materials And Methods: The rats were randomly divided into Control-group (n = 10) and ADR-group (n = 10). Nephrotic syndrome was established by weekly injections of ADR for 2 weeks. After dynamic monitoring of 24-h total urinary protein for 4 weeks, we confirmed that nephrotic syndrome had developed. The rats were administered intragastrically with phenacetin, tolbutamide, omeprazole and bupropion (15, 5, 15, and 15 mg/kg, respectively). The blood samples were determined by LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) method.
Results: The pharmacokinetics parameter of tolbutamide in ADR-group and Control-group were AUC(0-t) 15.371 ± 4.107, 6.901 ± 5.738 (mg/L*h), MRT(0-t) 8.751 ± 0.754, 6.032 ± 0.63 (h), t1/2 3.88 ± 0.423, 3.602 ± 0.693 (h), Tmax 6.2 ± 3.768, 1.95 ± 0.798 (h), CL/F 0.038 ± 0.005, 0.107 ± 0.037 (L/h/kg), V/F 0.212 ± 0.043, 0.567 ± 0.258 (L/kg), Cmax 1.853 ± 0.384, 1.422 ± 1.312 (mg/L). There was statistical difference in AUC, MRT, CL, V and Tmax of tolbutamide between two groups (p < 0.05), but no pharmacokinetics difference for phenacetin, bupropion and omeprazole.
Conclusions: The pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide was changed in ADR-induced nephropathy rat. It is not suitable for tolbutamide to evaluate the activity of CYP450 in nephrotic syndrome.

Human carboxylesterase 2A (CES2A) plays a crucial role in the hydrolysis and metabolic activation of esters and amides. There is increasing evidence that development of CES2A inhibitors to modulate the hydrolysis of ester drugs will increase the potency of these drugs or reduce their side effects. In this study, three sets of indole analogues (4a-j, 5a-k, 6a-e) were designed and synthesized.

Human CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 are two important enzymes for the hydroxylation of estrogens. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role for FXR receptor in the regulation of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expressions and activities. First, pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted in male wild-type and Fxr mice after intraperitoneal dosing of exogenous estradiol.

The study aimed to probe the effect of white and red onion extract on the viability and stability of encapsulated probiotics under stressed conditions. Intentionally, white and red onion peel extract was obtained and used with wall materials to encapsulate the probiotic. Symbiotic microcapsules were characterized for their morphological, molecular, and in vitro attributes.

Ultrasonography (USG)-guided interventions have transformed pain medicine by enhancing precision, efficacy, and safety through real-time anatomical visualization. Despite these advantages, mastering USG techniques presents a steep learning curve, especially for practitioners transitioning from fluoroscopy-guided methods. Adapting the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, this commentary outlines a five-phase framework for transitioning to USG-guided pain medicine interventions: overcoming initial reluctance, addressing sonoanatomy challenges, improving probe stabilization, needle visualization, and achieving expertise.

Background: Serious Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) represent a critical challenge in contemporary healthcare, necessitating comprehensive investigation and analysis. Within Central India, where healthcare systems grapple with unique demographic, epidemiological, and infrastructural dynamics, understanding the landscape of serious ADRs is paramount.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate serious ADRs related to age, gender, most implicated class of drugs & single drug, hospital admission, most affected system organ classes, causality and outcome of reactions and fatalities.
