Expression and function of ATP-dependent potassium channels in zebrafish islet β-cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) are critical nutrient sensors in many mammalian tissues. In the pancreas, K(ATP) channels are essential for coupling glucose metabolism to insulin secretion.

Synthesis and characterization of tolbutamide–molybdenum complex by thermal, spectral and X-ray studies

open access: yesJournal of Saudi Chemical Society, 2010
Synthesis and characterization of molybdenum complex with tolbutamide (an oral antidiabetic drug) have been studied. The conductometric titration using monovariation method indicates that complex is non-ionic and of L2M type.

Application of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling in Preclinical Studies: A Feasible Strategy to Practice the Principles of 3Rs

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Pharmacokinetic characterization plays a vital role in drug discovery and development. Although involving numerous laboratory animals with error-prone, labor-intensive, and time-consuming procedures, pharmacokinetic profiling is still irreplaceable in ...

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

Quantitative prediction of intravenous drug interactions caused by cytochromes P450 inhibitors and inducers

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Aims Pharmacokinetic interaction studies typically focus on oral administration, but intravenous (IV) administration bypasses intestinal degradation and hepatic first‐pass metabolism, leading to distinct drug–drug interaction (DDI) magnitude. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for DDIs involving IV‐administered drugs.

The potential for interaction of tolbutamide with pomegranate juice against diabetic induced complications in rats

open access: yesIntegrative Medicine Research, 2017
Background: Pomegranate can inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity, which is largely responsible for the metabolism of sulfonylureas. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction of pomegranate and ...

Induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 and P‐glycoprotein activity by antiseizure medications: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Antiseizure medications (ASMs) can induce the activity of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, including cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp). Our objective was to comparatively assess the effects of ASMs on exposure to clinical CYP2C9 and P‐gp substrates.

BK channels reveal novel phosphate sensitivity in SNr neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Whether large conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium (BK) channels are present in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) is a matter of debate. Using the patch-clamp technique, we examined the functional expression of BK channels in neurons of the ...

An Extensively Humanized Mouse Model to Predict Pathways of Drug Disposition and Drug/Drug Interactions, and to Facilitate Design of Clinical Trials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Species differences in drug metabolism and disposition can confound the extrapolation of in vivo pharmacokinetic data to man, and also profoundly compromise drug efficacy studies due to differences in pharmacokinetics, in metabolites produced (which are ...
