Pharmacokinetics of panobinostat: Inter-species difference in metabolic stability [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Panobinostat also showed inter-strain and inter-species differences in the in vitro plasma stability; and was stable in human plasma. Importantly, the plasma stability in various mouse strains was not reflected in the in vivo systemic pharmacokinetic behavior of panobinostat.

Pharmacokinetic study of the interaction between luteolin and magnoflorine in rats

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Magnoflorine increased the systemic exposure and metabolic stability and suppressed the transport of luteolin. CaCO-2 cell transwell assay was employed for transport evaluation, and the metabolic stability of luteolin and CYP3A activity were assessed in rat liver microsomes.

Effect of ophiopogonin D on the pharmacokinetics and transport of cryptotanshinone during their co?administration and the potential mechanism

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The co-administration of cryptotanshinone with ophiopogonin D induced pharmacokinetic interaction prolonging the systemic exposure and improving metabolic stability of cryptotanshinone. The Caco-2 cells were employed to evaluate the transport of cryptotanshinone, and the metabolic stability was studied in the rat liver microsomes.

Evaluation of Systemic and Brain Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Repurposing Metformin Using Intravenous Bolus Administration [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

In vitro assays examined brain tissue binding and metabolic stability. The findings highlight metformin's rapid brain entry, minimal binding, and metabolic stability. An LC-MS/MS method to measure metformin levels in plasma, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was developed and validated.

Predicting the Intravenous Pharmacokinetics of Covalent Drugs in Animals and Humans

Covalent Modifiers

Improved quantitative performance was observed by combining metabolic stability data from LMs and liver S9 fractions, the latter supplemented with reduced glutathione for glutathione transferase activity.

Targeted modification of furan?2?carboxaldehydes into Michael acceptor analogs yielded long?acting hemoglobin modulators with dual antisickling activities

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

However, the aldehyde functional group metabolic instability has severly hampered their development, except for voxelotor, which was approved in 2019 for SCD treatment.

Pantothenate kinase activation restores brain coenzyme A in a mouse model of pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

The metabolic stability, protein binding and membrane permeability of BBP-671 all suggest it has the physical properties required to cross the blood brain barrier. BBP-671 was detected in plasma, liver, cerebrospinal fluid and brain following oral administration in rodents demonstrating the ability of BBP-671 to penetrate the brain.
