Saliva is an attractive alternative to blood for drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic analysis, as it is non-invasive to retrieve. This is beneficial for patients, such as those with FOP, for whom blood draws can be challenging due to soft tissue damage susceptibility that can cause progressive heterotopic ossification, and for whom tourniquet time and blood draws must be minimized. The objectives of these studies were to evaluate zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and the effect of food in healthy participants from phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) studies.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Both the SAD and MAD studies were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose escalation studies. In the SAD study, healthy participants received a single oral dose of zilurgisertib (10, 25, 50, 100, 175, 250, or 500 mg) or placebo in the fasted state. A further group of healthy participants were enrolled into an additional \"food effect\" cohort and randomized to receive a single oral dose of zilurgisertib (100 mg) after either an overnight fast or a high-fat meal in a 2-way crossover manner. In the MAD study, healthy participants received oral zilurgisertib at 50, 100, 150, 200, or 400 mg once daily or 300 mg twice daily in the fasted state.

Zilurgisertib was generally well tolerated, and adverse events were generally of mild-to-moderate severity. Zilurgisertib was rapidly absorbed, with median time to maximum plasma drug concentration (C<sub>max</sub>) of 2.0-4.1 h post-dose. Zilurgisertib exposure was more than dose proportional after single and multiple doses over the dose range tested, suggesting non-linear pharmacokinetics. Plasma half-life values ranged from 22.8 to 31.4 h, supporting once-daily dosing. There was a strong correlation between zilurgisertib concentrations in saliva and plasma.

The objectives of this phase 1 study were to evaluate trofinetide pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in a population with moderate renal impairment and normal renal function.

In addition, the growing usage of antidepressants worldwide and increase in mental health disorders were shown in recent statistical analyses conducted by the World Health Organisation. The coadministration of caffeine and antidepressants remains a concern due to potential interactions that can alter a patient's response to therapy. This review investigates the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between caffeine and the five main classes of antidepressants: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and other antidepressants not categorised by class, which we have categorised as 'miscellaneous'. The interaction between fluvoxamine and caffeine resulted in increased concentrations of caffeine in the body and lowered the renal clearance of fluvoxamine. Other SSRIs such as fluoxetine and escitalopram had augmented antidepressant effects by decreasing their renal clearance and prolonging their effects in the body when coadministered with caffeine. Caffeine may also increase the concentration of paroxetine, potentially affecting its pharmacodynamic effects. TCAs such as clomipramine, imipramine, desipramine, and sertraline, were found to reduce the metabolism of caffeine. However, studies suggest caffeine had no significant effect on the concentration of these medications in blood or brain tissue. The inhibition of caffeine at high doses when used with MAOIs such as tranylcypromine and phenelzine was found to lead to a higher likelihood of experiencing hypertension. Coadministration of caffeine with venlafaxine (SNRIs) suggests minimal interactions between the two substances and the pharmacodynamic effects of venlafaxine were unlikely to be impacted by caffeine consumption. Miscellaneous antidepressants (reboxetine, mianserin, agomelatine, maprotiline, and mirtazapine) displayed varying pharmacodynamic interactions with caffeine, resulting in increased antidepressant effects where vortioxetine, maprotiline, and mirtazapine failed to demonstrate any interactions.

The published population pharmacokinetic model that implemented genotypes of CYP3A5 (tacrolimus) and CYP2C19 (voriconazole) was integrated. The tested CYP3A4 inhibition models (Sigmoid efficacy maximum [E_max], E_max, log-linear, and linear) were a function of competitive inhibition of voriconazole and mechanism-based inhibition of clarithromycin in a virtual enzyme compartment.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The total tacrolimus trough concentrations were 119 points, with a median of 4.3 (range: 2.0-9.9) ng/mL (n = 3). The final model comprised the Sigmoid E_max model for voriconazole and clarithromycin, which depicted time-course alterations in tacrolimus concentration and clearance when given voriconazole and clarithromycin.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These findings could facilitate the model-informed precision dosing of tacrolimus after unrelated bone marrow transplant.</p>","PeriodicalId":11939,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics","volume":" ","pages":"763-771"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142307359","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}
