Early clinical pharmacology evaluation of the novel anti‐inflammatory macrolide, glasmacinal (EP395): tolerability, pharmacokinetics and drug interactions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims This work assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of glasmacinal (EP395, an oral anti‐inflammatory macrolide with negligible antimicrobial activity in development for COPD treatment) in two healthy participant trials: ‘first‐in‐human’ (FIH) and ‘drug–drug‐interaction’ (DDI).

Endogenous melatonin partial metabolic clearance as a potential endogenous marker of CYP1A2 activity

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) exhibits substantial interindividual variability, necessitating appropriate phenotyping strategies for personalized pharmacotherapy. This study evaluated endogenous melatonin partial metabolic clearance (CLm(MEL)), calculated from urinary 6‐hydroxymelatonin (6‐O‐MEL) excretion and plasma melatonin (MEL) exposure, as a ...
