Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and CYP2C19 are primarily involved in the hepatic metabolism of gliclazide. The two CYP isozymes are highly polymorphic, and their genetic polymorphisms are known to significantly impact the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide. In the present study, the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed using data from subjects whose pharmacokinetic parameters were influenced by the genetic polymorphisms of the CYP metabolic enzymes. All predicted plasma concentration-time profiles generated by the model showed visual agreement with the observed data, and the pharmacokinetic results were within the twofold error range. Individual simulation results showed additional metrics: average fold error (- 0.19 to 0.07), geometric mean fold error (1.13-1.56), and mean relative deviation (1.18-1.58) for AUC, C<sub>max</sub>, T<sub>1/2</sub>, T<sub>max</sub>, CL/F, and V<sub>d</sub> values. These results met the standard evaluation criteria. The validation across a total of 8 studies and 7 races also satisfied the twofold error range for AUC, C<sub>max</sub>, and T<sub>1/2</sub>. Therefore, variations in gliclazide exposure according to individuals' CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genotypes were properly captured through PBPK modeling in this study. This PBPK model may allow us to predict the gliclazide pharmacokinetics of patients with genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C9 and CYPC19 under various conditions, ultimately contributing to the realization of individualized drug therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the potential utility of canine mammary tumors as an adjunct preclinical model for investigating human breast cancer. Given the numerous similarities between canine and human breast cancer, canines present a promising alternative model. The discussion delves into the intricate molecular and clinical aspects of human breast cancer and canine mammary tumors, shedding light on the tumors' molecular profiles, identifying specific molecular markers, and the application of radiological imaging modalities. Furthermore, the manuscript addresses the current constraints of preclinical cancer studies, the benefits of using canines as models, and the obstacles linked to the canine mammary tumors model.

With an aging population and increased life expectancy, the prevalence of these disorders is escalating rapidly, leading to substantial economic burdens exceeding trillions of dollars annually. Animal models play a crucial role in understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders and developing effective treatments. Various species, including rodents, non-human primates, and fruit flies, are utilized to replicate specific aspects of human neurological conditions. However, selecting the ideal animal model requires careful consideration of its proximity to human disease conditions and its ability to mimic disease pathobiology and pharmacological responses. An Animal Model Quality Assessment (AMQA) tool has been developed to facilitate this selection process, focusing on assessing models based on their similarity to human conditions and disease pathobiology. Therefore, integrating intrinsic and extrinsic factors linked to the disease into the study's objectives aids in constructing a biological information matrix for comparing disease progression between the animal model and human disease. Ultimately, selecting an ideal animal disease model depends on its predictive, face, and construct validity, ensuring relevance and reliability in translational research efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":8287,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pharmacal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142845706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
