    Notes: Abstract One gram single dose of Pentasa controlled-release capsules was administered to 24 healthy volunteers under fasting condition. Mean plasma 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and acetyl 5-ASA concentrations peaked at 0.53 μg · ml−1 and 1.33 μg · ml−1 from 3 to 4 hours following dosing, respectively. The half-lives of both compounds could not be determined as absorption of 5-ASA was continuous throughout the gastrointestinal tract. An average of 29.4% (CV: 27%) of the dose was excreted in the urine primarily as acetyl 5-ASA. Up to 91.1% of the dose was released from the capsules. Forty percent of the dose (CV: 40%) was eliminated in the feces, with 8.9% of the dose remained as formulation bounded 5-ASA, indicating that controlled-release capsules continue to release drug throughout the GI tract. 5-ASA contributed 46.7% of the salicylates eliminated in the feces and acetyl 5-ASA accounted for the balance. Controlled-release capsules produced three times more total salicylates and 10 times more total and free 5-ASA in the feces than did 5-ASA suspension. Thus, while lower systemic levels of salicylates were absorbed, greater therapeutic quantities of 5-ASA were available in the bowel.

    Notes: Abstract CHF1194 is an inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam. In man, β-cyclodextrin acts as a carrier of piroxicam. As the inclusion complex of piroxicam-β-cyclodextrin is wettable and more water soluble, the absorption rate of the drug is increased whilst its other pharmacokinetic characteristics remain unchanged. The aim of the present study in 12 healthy subjects was to compare the oral bioavailability of 20 mg piroxicam in a CHF1194 tablet and a plain piroxicam capsule after a single dose and after two weeks of once daily administration, and also to assess the plasma levels and urinary excretion of β-cyclodextrin after CHF1194 administration. The two treatments were administered in cross-over fashion, separated by a wash-out period of three weeks. Piroxicam, 5′-hydroxypiroxicam and β-cyclodextrin were monitored in plasma and urine for 120 h after the first and last doses. Clinical tolerance was excellent and no adverse event occurred during either phase of the study. The extent of absorption of piroxicam from the CHF1194 tablet after the single dose was equivalent to that after the plain piroxicam capsule, within confidence limits of less than 80–125%. After repeated dosing, CHF1194 yielded the same steady-state systemic concentrations of piroxicam and 5′-hydroxypiroxicam as the reference capsule, and similar excretion pattern of the metabolite. After both single and multiple dosing, piroxicam was absorbed more rapidly after CHF1194, an expected consequence of the complexation of piroxicam with β-cyclodextrin. This may be of therapeutic interest as it might accelerate the onset of pain relief. The pharmacokinetics of piroxicam was linear after the doses used here, suggesting that long term treatment with CHF1194 should not require any change in dosing regimen. Even after 14 days of repeated administration of CHF1194, β-cyclodextrin could not be detected in plasma or urine, suggesting that in man the unchanged oligosaccharide was absorbed to a very small extent.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of chronic exposure to high altitude on the pharmacokinetics of caffeine and cardiogreen (ICG) were examined in eight healthy males (23–35 y) at sea level (SEA) and following 16 days residence at 4300 m (ALT). ICG (0.5 mg · kg−1) was administered as an intravenous bolus and caffeine (4 mg · kg−1) in an orally ingested solution. The concentration of ICG, caffeine, and the primary metabolites of caffeine (MET) were determined in serial blood samples and their pharmacokinetics computed. In comparison to SEA, ALT resulted in a significant decrease in the caffeine half-life (t1/2, 4.7 vs 6.7 h) and area under the curve (2.5 vs 3.7 g · 1−1 · min−1), and increased clearance (117 vs 86 ml · min−1 · 70 kg−1). In ALT the area under the curve of ICG significantly decreased (85 vs 207 mg · 1−1 · min−1) and the volume of distribution and clearance increased (5.2 vs 2.41 and 532 vs 234 ml · min−1 respectively) compared to SEA. There was a significant increase in the AUC ratio of MET to caffeine indicating that either metabolite formation or elimination was increased in ALT. These results demonstrate that in humans, chronic exposure to 4300 m results in the modification of the pharmacokinetics of caffeine and ICG.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of lorazepam was examined in 10 male patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before and following treatment with neomycin and cholestyramine. Neomycin and cholestyramine were given in an attempt to block the enterohepatic circulation of lorazepam and so to permit an in vivo estimate of hepatic glucuronidation. The volume of distribution and clearance of free lorazepam in diabetic patients were not significantly different from the corresponding estimates in 14 normal controls. Neomycin and cholestyramine increased the clearance of lorazepam by 63% consistent with their effect in non-diabetic controls. However, patients on beef/pork insulin exhibited a greater than normal increase on this interupting regimen (125%), and had a significantly greater neomycin/cholestyramine cycling-interrupted clearance of lorazepam than either normal controls or patients on human insulin (15.4 vs. 6.96 and 7.87 ml·min−1·kg−1). The clearance was correlated positively and significantly with HbA1c and glycated proteins (fructosamine), but only in patients on human insulin. Thus, the pharmacokinetics of lorazepam was not altered in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. However, it is possible that there are differences in the rate and extent of hepatic glucuronidation and enterohepatic circulation of lorazepam between patients treated with beef/pork and human insulins and between diabetics treated with beef/pork insulin and non-diabetic controls.

    Notes: Abstract The single-dose pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were examined in 12 healthy younger subjects ≤55 years of age (YNG), 12 elderly subjects ≥65 years of age (ELD), 12 patients with biopsy proven hepatic cirrhosis (HEP) and 12 patients with moderate renal impairment (REN), ClCR 20–60 ml·min−1. The study was of parallel group design, with each of the four subject groups receiving escalating single oral doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg of nefazodone at 1 week intervals. Serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected for 48 h following each dose and plasma samples were assayed for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP by a validated HPLC method. Single oral doses up to 200 mg of nefazodone were well tolerated by all subjects. Maximum plasma levels of NEF and HO-NEF were generally attained within 1 h after administration of nefazodone. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and 〈1/10 those of NEF, respectively. There were no apparent gender-related pharmacokinetic differences in any group of subjects. NEF and HO-NEF pharmacokinetics were dose dependent in all four subject groups; a superproportional increase in AUC and an increase in t1/2 with increasing dose was obtained, indicative of nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Relative to normal subjects, elderly and cirrhotic subjects exhibited increased systemic exposure to NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC, at all doses of nefazodone; subjects with moderate renal impairment did not. Elderly and cirrhotic patients may require lower doses of NEF to achieve and maintain therapeutic effectiveness.

    Notes: Abstract The steady-state pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were compared in subjects with normal and impaired renal function. Patients: The Study was of parallel group design which included 7 subjects with normal (NOR) renal function, CLCR≥72 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2, 6 with moderate (MOD) renal impairment, CLCR 31–60 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2 and 9 with severe (SEV) renal impairment, CLCR≤30 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2. Subjects in each renal function group received a 100-mg oral dose of nefazodone hydrochloride BID for 7 days and a single morning dose on day 8. Starting 48 h after the last 100-mg dose, 200-mg doses were administered on a similar schedule to 3, 4 and 3 subjects from each renal function group (NOR, MOD and SEV, respectively). Single trough blood samples just prior to each morning dose (Cmin) and serial samples after the dose on day 8 were obtained at each dose level for pharmacokinetic analysis. Plasma samples were assayed by a specific HPLC method for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP. The CMIN data indicated that steady state was attained by the third day of BID administration of both the 100- and 200-mg doses of nefazodone, regardless of degree of renal function. Both NEF and HO-NEF attained steady-state Cmax within 2 h after administration of nefazodone; tmax for mCPP was less defined and more delayed. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and 〈1/10 those of NEF, respectively, regardless of the status of renal function. Steady-state systemic exposure of NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC and Cmax, and elimination t1/2 values did not differ significantly among renal function groups. Conclusion: The study results suggest that dose adjustments may not be necessary, but nefazodone should be used with caution in the presence of severe renal impairment.

    Notes: Abstract Investigations in animals have suggested that conjugation of paracetamol may be reduced in malaria. We have measured plasma concentrations and the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its phase II metabolites in eight Thai patients during uncomplicated falciparum malaria and in convalescence, following a 1000 mg single oral dose. The apparent oral clearance (Malaria, 3.6; Convalescence, 3.9; ml·min−1·kg−1), the elimination half-life (Malaria, 3.8; Convalescence, 3.7 h) and apparent volume of distribution (Malaria, 1.2; Convalescence, 1.2; l·kg−1) of paracetamol were similar during malaria and convalescence. In addition, the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its major phase II metabolites and their formation clearances from paracetamol were not significantly different between the two study phases. These data show that clinical malaria infection has no effect on the conjugation of paracetamol in man.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of pH on the buccal and sublingual absorption of captopril was evaluated using in vitro techniques and human studies. Partitioning of captopril into n-octanol was lowest over the pH range 5 to 8 and highest at pH values 3, 4 and 9. Using the buccal absorption technique, the partitioning of captopril (2 mg) was examined in six healthy male volunteers from buffered solutions (pH 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Lowest buccal partitioning occurred at pH 3 while maximal buccal partitioning occurred at pH 7. These data clearly indicated that the buccal absorption of captopril did not obey the classical pH/partition hypothesis suggesting that mechanisms other than passive diffusion were involved in its absorption. Captopril pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were determined after administration of buffered sublingual captopril (pH 7, optimal pH for absorption as determined from the buccal partitioning data) and unbuffered sublingual captopril. The study was performed in eight healthy volunteers in a randomised single-blind cross-over fashion. The tmax for captopril was found to be approximately 11 minutes earlier after buffered versus unbuffered sublingual administration and AUC0–30 min increased by approximately 30% in the case of buffered captopril. Cpmax, AUC0–180 min and relative bioavailability did not differ between the buffered and unbuffered administration. Pharmacodynamic parameters (BP, heart rate and plasma renin activity) did not differ significantly between buffered and unbuffered sublingual administration. The increased rate of captopril absorption after buffered sublingual administration was small and is likely to offer little therapeutic advantage over conventional sublingual formulation.

    Notes: Abstract The results of a twin-torch transferred de arc .study are presented. The arc system consists of two torches of opposite polarity, and a coupling zone of plasma jets located between them. The torch configuration increases the system reliability and efficiency during material plasma processing. The results of the study present data for the voltage-current characteristics, general behavior of the twin-torch arc, and spatial distribution of the plasma parameters. The plasma parameters have been measured using optical emission spectroscopy for a 200 A (20 k W) do arc, at atmospheric pressure, with argon and nitrogen introduced as plasma forming gases into the anode and the cathode units, respectively. The measurement technique used has allowed the determination of local electron density and temperature values in an inhomogeneous plasma volume having no axial sysmmetry. The data obtained illustrate the novel features of the twin-torch transfrred do arc for its applications in plasma processing.
