A GM counter was used to measure dose rates in 3 different periods, at intervals of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 cm from the patient's anterior for head, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis levels. Measurements were used to determine patient-induced environmental doses and radiation doses to personnel/patient relatives. Results and Discussion: There were strong correlations between mean dose rate (mRh-1mCi-1) and time at all regions and distances. The received dose for staff was calculated between a range of 0.01-0.02 mSv/mCi per patient. The total dose to be received by the companion was estimated to be between 0.019-0.039 and 0.011-0.022 mSv for public and personal vehicle transportation, respectively. The radiation dose exposed by nurses (4th, 6th, and 8th hours after injection) was found to be 0.012-0.064, 0.006-0.038, and 0.002-0.018 mSv/patient, respectively. Conclusion: The fact that the doses of personnel and patient relatives in the study were below the legal limits shows that the study was carried out within a safe range. However, in terms of radiation protection, it is necessary to limit the time spent with the patient as much as possible and increase the distance. Since the dangers of low radiation dosages are unknown, there is a need to inform the patient's relatives and staff about the potential risks.","PeriodicalId":10770,"journal":{"name":"Current drug metabolism","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139031796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The body composition and metabolic capability change with age. These changes may alter the pharmacokinetics of drugs and thus their effect. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics of drugs need to be established in target-age animals Objective: To determine the pharmacokinetics of ENR and its active metabolite, ciprofloxacin (CIP), following a single intravenous administration of ENR at a dose of 10 mg/kg in different ages of sheep. Methods: The study was carried out in the one-, six- and twelve-month age period of the sheep. A single dose of 10 mg/kg ENR was administered intravenously through the jugular vein to sheep in all age periods. ENR and CIP plasma concentrations were determined using HPLC–UV and analyzed using a non-compartmental method. Results: ENR was detected in the plasma until 36 h in one-month-old and up to 24 h in other ages. CIP was detected in the plasma up to 24 h in all age groups. The t1/2ʎz and Vdss were significantly higher in one-month-old sheep than in six and twelve-months old sheep. There was no difference in ClT and AUC values in different age groups. AUC0-∞CIP/AUC0-∞ENR ratios were higher in one-month-old than in six- and twelve-months sheep. Conclusion: The most important pharmacokinetic changes associated with aging in sheep are decreased Vdss and t1/2ʎz of ENR and the low ratio metabolizing of ENR to CIP. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data showed that ENR after IV administration of 10 mg/kg dose provided the optimal AUC0–24/MIC90 ratios for E. coli, P. multocida and Mycoplasma spp. (>125) with MIC of 0.37 µg/mL and for S. aureus (>30) with MIC of 0.5 µg/mL in all ages of sheep.","PeriodicalId":10770,"journal":{"name":"Current drug metabolism","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139028919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore interesting to study its metabolism in the human body. In order to find the best possible starting point for this metabolism, a theoretical study was carried out using DFT calculations and docking studies. Methods:: The DFT, B3LYP/6-311++G** and the PCM solvation model calculations were used to study the initial process of oleocanthal metabolism by the CYP1A2 enzyme. Structures of radicals formed by homolytic dissociation of hydrogen atoms from the oleocanthal structure were obtained and their properties were studied. Several parameters such as HOMO and LUMO energy gaps, Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE), hardness, and spin density of possible oleocanthal radicals were taken into account. Docking of oleocanthal into an enzyme binding pocket was also performed to locate the most probably metabolic site. Detailed analysis of the theoretical results allows the determination of the most likely reaction sites in oleocanthal. The mode of binding of oleocanthal to the CYP1A2 enzyme was also predicted. Results:: The results of the molecular docking studies are in agreement with the calculated quantum parameters. The theoretical predictions were compared with experimental data available in the scientific literature. A high correlation between theoretical calculations and experimental data was observed. The most likely site of oleocanthal metabolism was identified.
