Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sunitinib on pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin. The previous study proved that levofloxacin co-administered with sunitib changes the following pharmacokinetic parameters i.e. Cmax and AUC for both sunitinib and SU012662 (sunitinib metabolite). We will also investigate if the limited sample strategy can be applied for levofloxacin.

Methods: Rabbits were divided into two groups. In both groups there were six animals. In the control group levofloxacin was administered and in investigated group levofloxacin and sunitinib were co-administered. The dose of levofloxacin was 20mg/kg and the dose of sunitinib was 25mg. The concentration in plasma was determined by HPLC-FLD. The pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated by WinNonLin software. The results were evaluated by the following statistical tests: Shapiro-Wilk, t-Student and Mann-Whitney test.

Results: Pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin obeys the two-compartment model. Sunitinib influences the following pharmacokinetic parameters of levofloxacin: half-life, elimination constant and volume of distribution. Statistical analysis proved that there is a correlation between AUC and the following five time-points: 0.25 h, 4h, 6h, 10h and 12h.

Conclusions: The study proved that there is a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between sunitinib and levofloxacin. The statistical analysis proved that the limited sample strategy can be applied for levofloxacin.

In treating type 2 diabetes, avoiding glucose reabsorption (glucotoxicity) and managing hyperglycemia are also important. A metabolic condition known as diabetes (type-2) is characterized by high blood sugar levels in comparison to normal Bilosomes (BLs) containing Dapagliflozin (Dapa) were formulated, optimized, and tested for oral therapeutic efficacy in the current investigation. Used the Box Behnken design to optimize the Dapa-BLs, formulated via a thin-film hydration technique.

Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of targeted therapeutics and are receiving growing attention in the pharmaceutical field. Here we aimed to validate two ligand binding assays for the quantitation of GQ1001, an ADC made of Trastuzumab site-specifically conjugated with DM1, in cynomolgus monkey serum, and then apply the validated assays to a nonclinical study.

Methods: The quantitative methods for conjugated GQ1001 and total GQ1001 were validated against regulatory guidance documents on bioanalytical method validation under a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant environment.
