The proposed approach enables the acquisition of animal brain signals during experiments without the confounding influence of muscle noise. Initially, the use of alpha-chloralose (a-c) in conjunction with Isoflurane is introduced to induce anesthesia in rats. Subsequently, Dexdomitor is administered to prevent muscular movements during the collection of brain signals, further refining the signal quality. Experimental outcomes conclusively demonstrate that our anesthesia method produces cleaner raw signals and exhibits improved robustness during data acquisition, outperforming existing methods that rely solely on Isoflurane or the Ketamine-Xylazine combination. Notably, this improved performance is achieved with minimal alterations to vital physiological parameters, including body temperature, respiration, and heart rates. Moreover, the efficacy of a-c in maintaining anesthesia for up to 7 h stands in contrast to the shorter durations achievable with continuous Isoflurane administration or the 30-min window offered by Ketamine-Xylazine, highlighting the practical advantages of our proposed method. Finally, post-experiment observations confirmed that the animals gradually returned to normal behavior without any signs of distress or adverse effects, indicating that our method was both effective and safe.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 107551"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056871924000613/pdfft?md5=b88f1f26d9ecf2ae4d735c241bb24bc6&pid=1-s2.0-S1056871924000613-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142157065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One approach involves using specific blocking agents to influence the chylomicron-mediated lymphatic absorption of drugs.

This review offers a thorough analysis of the diverse models utilized, evaluating existing reports while delineating the gaps in current research. It also explores pharmacokinetic related aspects of intestinal lymphatic uptake pathway and its blockage through the discussed models. Pluronic L-81 has a reversible effect, minimal toxicity, and unique mode of action. Yet, it lacks clinical reports on chylomicron pathway blockage, likely due to low concentrations used. Puromycin and vinca alkaloids, though documented for toxicity, lack information on their application in drug intestinal lymphatic uptake. Other vinca alkaloids show promise in affecting triglyceride profiles and represent possible agents to test as blockers. Colchicine and cycloheximide, widely used in pharmaceutical development, have demonstrated efficacy, with cycloheximide preferred for lower toxicity. However, further investigation into effective and toxic doses of colchicine in humans is needed to understand its clinical impact. The review additionally followed the complete journey of oral lymphatic targeting drugs from intake to excretion, provided a pharmacokinetic equation considering the intestinal lymphatic pathway for assessing bioavailability.

Whilst direct left ventricular pressure (LVP) measurement is the gold standard for measuring cardiac contractility in vivo, it is resource intensive and poses a welfare burden on research animals. In contrast, arterial blood pressure (BP) measurement has fewer challenges. Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction (SPAR) is a signal processing technique which transforms physiological time-series signals into a corresponding visual image (‘attractor’), amplifying morphology changes within physiological waveforms. It was hypothesized that SPAR analysis of BP signals would provide a surrogate measure of cardiac contractility by specifically amplifying the maximum slope of the systolic upstroke. BP (abdominal aorta) signals obtained from beagle dogs, treated with positive and negative inotropes, were retrospectively analysed to identify signal features that correlated with the maximum upslope of the LVP signal from simultaneously acquired LVP recordings. SPAR transformation of BP signals quantified drug induced changes in the maximum slope of the systolic upstroke. We identified key SPAR metrics that provided &gt;0.8 correlation with the LVP maximum upslope, outperforming the BP systolic upstroke alone. This was observed for all 4 different drugs, doses and time points evaluated across studies. Thus, we conclude that the SPAR measures derived from the BP signal could be used as a first pass in vivo screen to flag any risk of drug induced changes in cardiac contractility during the conduct of non-clinical medicines development, potentially reducing or replacing the need to perform direct left ventricular measurements.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 107546"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105687192400056X/pdfft?md5=8e0a0c5e71d9db51cee6e01697634e4b&pid=1-s2.0-S105687192400056X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141790661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With specific relations between the transfer rate constants, two exponential rate constants can be equal, in which case the normal solution cannot be used. The conditions for this to occur are discussed, and advice is provided on how to circumvent these cases. An example of an analytic solution is given for the rare case where an exact equality is the expected result. Furthermore, for models with at least three compartments, cases exist where the solution to a real-valued model involves complex-valued exponential rate constants. This leads to solutions with an oscillatory element in the solution for the tracer concentration, i.e., there are cases where the solution is not a simple sum of (real-valued) exponentials but also includes sine and cosine functions. Detailed solutions for three-compartment cases are given.

This study developed a highly sensitive, fast, eco-friendly, and reliable UPLC-MS/MS approach to quantify X-376 in human liver microsomes (HLMs). This approach was used to evaluate X-376's metabolic stability in HLMs in vitro. The UPLC-MS/MS analytical technique validation followed US-FDA bio-analytical method validation guidelines. StarDrop software, containing P450 metabolic and DEREK modules, was utilized to scan X-376's chemical structure for metabolic lability and hazardous warnings.
