Pharmacokinetics as a Biomarker. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pharmacokinetics (PK) has long been differentiated from pharmacodynamics (PD) and biomarkers, yet this distinction undervalues PK's translational relevance. In this Perspective, we propose that PK itself functions as a biomarker that bridges dose, exposure, and response.

The pharmacokinetics of amygdalin [PDF]
Amygdalin (D-mandelonitrile-beta-D-gentiobioside) is a cyanogenic glycoside claimed to show anti-cancer activity, sold under the incorrect name "Laetrile". For a sensible discussion of its alleged activity and its established toxicity it is necessary that its fate in the organism is known. The pharmacokinetics of amygdalin have been investigated in the

Fractal Pharmacokinetics [PDF]
Pharmacokinetics (PK) has been traditionally dealt with under the homogeneity assumption. However, biological systems are nowadays comprehensively understood as being inherently fractal. Specifically, the microenvironments where drug molecules interact with membrane interfaces, metabolic enzymes or pharmacological receptors, are unanimously recognized ...
