Abstract figure legend In this study, we use human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC‐CM) experiments and computational modelling to identify the mechanism of action of drug compounds. In the hiPSC‐CM experiments, optical measurements of cell collections are recorded in the baseline case and after drug exposure.

Characterization of porcine hepatic and intestinal drug metabolizing CYP450 : comparison with human orthologues from a quantitative, activity and selectivity perspective [PDF]
Over the past two decades, the pig has gained attention as a potential model for human drug metabolism. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450), a superfamily of biotransformation enzymes, are pivotal in drug metabolism.

A study of early afterdepolarizations in a model for human ventricular tissue [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death is often caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Recently, special attention has been given to a certain arrhythmogenic condition, the long-QT syndrome, which occurs as a result of genetic mutations or drug toxicity. The underlying mechanisms

Pharmacology and relevant drug interactions of metamizole
Metamizole is a frequently prescribed analgesic because of its favourable benefit/risk ratio compared with classic NSAIDs. However, increasing research shows that metamizole displays several drug interactions that are relevant to clinical practice. We reviewed the literature to summarize the pharmacology and most clinically relevant drug interactions ...

QUINIDINE IN FALCIPARUM MALARIA
Fourteen patients with falciparum malaria were successfully treated with oral quinidine. Twelve of these patients were followed for 35 days without recrudescence. In six patients the infection had already recrudesced after antimalarial treatment, which in two cases had included a full course of quinine.
