RESUMEN

In the present study, a simple, rapid, and reliable bioanalytical method was developed using liquid chromatography with tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to quantify 2',4',6'-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP) in rat and dog plasma with 2',4',6'-trihydroxybenzaldehyde as an internal standard (IS). The LC-MS/MS instrument was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to detect THAP at m/z transition 166.89 > 82.8 and IS at 152.89 > 82.8, respectively. A simple, one-step protein precipitation (PP) method was employed with acetonitrile for sample preparation. Utilizing a Gemini C18 column, THAP and IS were separated with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 10 mM ammonium acetate and methanol (10:90, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Total chromatographic run time was 2.5 min per sample injection. The standard calibration curve for THAP was linear (r2 ≥ 0.9987) over the concentration range of 0.1 to 100 µg/mL with the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.1 µg/mL (S/N ratio > 10). According to the regulatory guidelines from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), our newly developed biomedical analytical method was fully and adequately validated in terms of selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, stability, and dilution integrity. Our validated assay was successfully utilized in a nonclinical pharmacokinetic study of THAP in rats and dogs.

RESUMEN

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a major risk factor of colorectal cancer. Drugs currently used for IBD exhibit adverse effects including vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Naturally derived novel alternative therapies are required to overcome these limitations. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of ethanol extract of Cicer arietinum (CEE) in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse model of colitis. CEE markedly improved DSS-induced clinical symptoms and histological status, such as the disease activity index, spleen weight, and colon length. Moreover, CEE-treated mice showed significant recovery of DSS-induced crypt damage and cell death. CEE suppressed myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and macrophage marker F4/80 mRNA expression in colonic tissue of mice with DSS-induced colitis, indicating neutrophil infiltration and macrophage accumulation, respectively. Although DSS upregulated pro-inflammatory mediators and activated transcription factors, CEE downregulated the mRNA expression of cytokines including interleukin-6, interleukin-1ß, and tumor necrosis factor-α, protein expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase, as well as activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-кB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Hence, our findings reveal that the anti-inflammatory properties of CEE, involving the downregulation of the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators by inactivating NF-кB and STAT3 in DSS-induced colitis mice.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms of N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) and the risk of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI). DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Reviews databases were searched through April 2019. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: We included case-control or cohort studies investigating an association between NAT2, CYP2E1, GST or SLCO1B1 polymorphisms and the ATDILI risk in patients with tuberculosis. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Three authors screened articles, extracted data and assessed study quality. The strength of association was evaluated for each gene using the pooled OR with a 95% CI based on the fixed-effects or random-effects model. Sensitivity analysis was performed to confirm the reliability and robustness of the results. RESULTS: Fifty-four studies were included in this analysis (n=26 for CYP2E1, n=35 for NAT2, n=19 for GST, n=4 for SLCO1B1). The risk of ATDILI was significantly increased with the following genotypes: CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI c1/c1 (OR=1.39, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.83), NAT2 slow acetylator (OR=3.30, 95% CI 2.65 to 4.11) and GSTM1 null (OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.52). No significant association with ATDILI was found for the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1 DraI, GSTT1, GSTM1/GSTT1, SLCO1B1 388A>G and SLCO1B1 521T>C (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ATDILI is more likely to occur in patients with NAT2 slow acetylator genotype, CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI c1/c1 genotype and GSTM1 null genotype. Close monitoring may be warranted for patients with these genotypes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of two formulations (the original capsule ("reference") and the new tablet ("test") formulations) of 135-mg choline fenofibrate under fed and fasted conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was an open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover bioequivalence study in healthy Korean males. A total of 40 individuals were separately enrolled in the high-fat fed and the fasting study, respectively, and were randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two sequences. Serial blood samples were collected over 72 hours after drug administration. Plasma concentrations of fenofibric acid were determined by a validated LC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were estimated using noncompartmental methods. RESULTS: Overall, 37 and 35 individuals completed the fed and the fasting study, respectively, as planned. The estimated Cmax, AUC0-∞, and AUC0-last were comparable between the test and the reference formulations in both fed and fasting studies (p > 0.05). The 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax, AUC0-∞, and AUC0-last were 0.92 - 1.06, 0.95 - 1.01, and 0.95 - 1.01 in the fed study; and 0.94 - 1.12, 0.94 - 1.00, and 0.94 - 1.00 in the fasting study, respectively. For both formulations, tmax was significantly prolonged under fed condition compared to fasting condition (p < 0.0001); all other PK parameters were comparable between the fed and the fasting studies (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The reference and the test formulations of 135 mg choline fenofibrate show comparable pharmacokinetic profiles of fenofibric acid under both fed and fasted conditions and are considered bioequivalent.

RESUMEN

We developed a simple, sensitive, and effective ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method with an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and positive ion modes to determine diazepam concentrations in human plasma using voriconazole as an internal standard (IS). Diazepam and IS were detected at transition 285.2→193.1 and 350.2→127.1, respectively. After liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) using 1.2 ml of ethyl acetate:n-hexane (80:20, v/v), diazepam and IS were eluted on a Phenomenex Cadenza CD-C18 column (150 × 3.0 mm, 3 µm) with an isocratic mobile phase (10 mM ammonium acetate in water:methanol [5:95, v/v]) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The peak retention time was 2.32 min for diazepam and 2.01 min for IS, respectively. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.5 ng/mL (S/N > 10) using 50 µL of plasma, and no interferences were observed in chromatograms. Our analytical method was fully validated and successfully applied to a bioequivalence study of two formulations of diazepam in healthy Korean volunteers.

RESUMEN

Adolescence is critical in the habituation of diverse lifestyles and is a base for future physical well-being. Although gastrointestinal disorders are frequently reported in adolescents, studies related to GI drug use or related factors in Korean adolescents are rare. Thus, this study examined Korean adolescents for the use of GI drugs for abdominal symptoms and analyzed the associated factors. This cross-sectional study was done with a total of 2,416 students who completed a given questionnaire. The health-related questions included GI medication intake, smoking, alcohol, caffeine, regular exercise, self-cognitive health level, GI symptom, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) intake, and sleep problems. In questions about GI medication intake, drugs included digestives and antacids. And the intake of GI drugs more than once during the past 1 month was regarded as taking GI drugs. The sociodemographic questions included age, gender, grade, number of close friends, extracurricular activities, and school performance. The overall prevalence for taking GI drugs, including antacids and digestives, was 17.4 %. When students taking GI drugs were compared with those not taking GI drugs, the former group showed higher rates of girls (P < 0.001) and participants in extracurricular activities (P < 0.05) than the latter group. Factors including alcohol, caffeine, self-cognitive health levels, and GI symptoms showed statistical significance with the rate of GI drug intake. The rate of GI drug intake in NSAID users was 2.7 times higher than that in non-users (P < 0.001). The prevalence rate of every sleep problem was higher in students taking GI medications except snoring, witnessed apnea, and teeth grinding. From the multiple regression, it was found that gender (female), extracurricular activities, alcohol intake, self-cognitive health levels, NSAIDs intake, and nightmares were related factors to GI drug intake. Based on the results, it was conclude that encouragement to build healthy lifestyle habits in adolescents is very important for their academic performances and health status in adulthood.
