Quantification of Dynamic 11C-Phenytoin PET Studies [PDF]

, 2015
The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is thought to be an important mechanism of pharmacoresistance in epilepsy. Recently, 11C-phenytoin has been evaluated preclinically as a tracer for Pgp.

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation of topiramate in populations with renal and hepatic impairment and considerations for drug–drug interactions

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 510-522, March 2025.
Abstract Topiramate (TPM) is a broad‐spectrum antiepileptic drug (AED) commonly prescribed for approved and off‐label uses. Routine monitoring is suggested for clinical usage of TPM in special population due to its broad side effect profile. Therefore, it is crucial to further explore its pharmacokinetic characteristics.
