Importance of Ethnicity, CYP2B6 and ABCB1 Genotype for Efavirenz Pharmacokinetics and Treatment Outcomes: A Parallel-group Prospective Cohort Study in two sub-Saharan Africa Populations. [PDF]
We evaluated the importance of ethnicity and pharmacogenetic variations in determining efavirenz pharmacokinetics, auto-induction and immunological outcomes in two African populations. ART naïve HIV patients from Ethiopia (n = 285) and Tanzania (n = 209)

Nanomaterials and pharmacokinetics
Nanomaterials have outstanding applications in biomedical areas, such as drug delivery agents, nanoparticles-based imaging, magnetic fluid hyperthermia, and tissue regeneration. In the line of extensive development in nanomaterials-aided drug delivery platforms, pharmacokinetic assessments have achieved greater consideration from scientists and ...

Population pharmacokinetics of levobupivacaine during a transversus abdominis plane block in children [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Levobupivacaine is commonly used during transversus abdominis plane block in pediatric patients. However, the dosing regimen is still empirical, and the pharmacokinetic properties of levobupivacaine are not considered. Here, the pharmacokinetics of levobupivacaine during an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block were evaluated ...

Time Scale Calculus: A New Approach to Multi-Dose Pharmacokinetic Modeling [PDF]
In this paper, we use Time Scale Calculus (TSC) to formulate and solve pharmacokinetic models exploring multiple dose dynamics. TSC is a mathematical framework that allows the modeling of dynamical systems comprising continuous and discrete processes.

A series acceleration algorithm for the gamma-Pareto (type I) convolution and related functions of interest for pharmacokinetics [PDF]
The gamma-Pareto type I convolution (GPC type I) distribution, which has a power function tail, was recently shown to describe the disposition kinetics of metformin in dogs precisely and better than sums of exponentials. However, this had very long run times and lost precision for its functional values at long times following intravenous injection.

Physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a powerful tool to quantitatively describe drug disposition profiles in vivo, thereby providing an alternative to predict drug–drug interactions (DDIs) that have not been tested clinically.

An Integrated Transfer Learning and Multitask Learning Approach for Pharmacokinetic Parameter Prediction [PDF]
Background: Pharmacokinetic evaluation is one of the key processes in drug discovery and development. However, current absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion prediction models still have limited accuracy. Aim: This study aims to construct an integrated transfer learning and multitask learning approach for developing quantitative structure ...
