Enhanced Characterization of Drug Metabolism and the Influence of the Intestinal Microbiome: A Pharmacokinetic, Microbiome, and Untargeted Metabolomics Study. [PDF]
Determining factors that contribute to interindividual and intra-individual variability in pharmacokinetics (PKs) and drug metabolism is essential for the optimal use of drugs in humans.

ABSTRACT The Chicken Egg Genotoxicity Assay (CEGA) is an avian egg‐based model that utilizes the livers of developing chicken embryo‐fetuses to assess the ability of chemicals to produce direct DNA damage. The main goal of the study was to evaluate target tissue exposure and metabolism in the CEGA to assess its suitability as a biologically relevant ...

Abstract Obesity significantly influences drug pharmacokinetics (PK), which challenges optimal dosing. This study examines the effects of diet‐and‐exercise‐induced weight loss on key drug‐metabolizing enzymes and gastric emptying in patients with obesity, who frequently require medications for comorbidities.

Abstract Belumosudil is an oral selective rho‐associated coiled‐coil containing protein kinase 2 inhibitor, approved as a treatment for chronic graft‐versus‐host disease. Prior clinical studies demonstrated that coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers or proton pump inhibitors requires dose modification of belumosudil.

Regulation of Sulfotransferase and UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Gene Expression by the PPARs
During phase II metabolism, a substrate is rendered more hydrophilic through the covalent attachment of an endogenous molecule. The cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) families of enzymes account for the majority of ...

Uridine diphospho glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) glucuronidates androgens and xenobiotics including certain drugs. The UGT2B17 gene shows a remarkable copy number variation (CNV), which predisposes for solid tumors and influences drug response ...
