[PMID: 35794660 PMCID: PMC9260974 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-022-00590-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The combination of lisinopril and amlodipine has a marked additional effect on blood pressure and fewer side effects than individual monotherapy. This study was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the bioequivalence between two Lisinopril/amlodipine tablets in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS A single center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-period crossover bioequivalence study was designed in healthy Chinese subjects under both fasting and fed conditions. Blood samples were collected before drug administration and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 168 h after administration. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to determine the plasma concentration of lisinopril and amlodipine. Maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were used to evaluate bioequivalence. Adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Ninety-two healthy subjects were enrolled, and 75 completed the study. The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the ratio of geometric means (GMRs) of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ of lisinopril and amlodipine under both fasting and fed conditions fell within the conventional bioequivalence criteria of 0.80-1.25. A high-fat meal appeared to decrease the Cmax and AUC of lisinopril. No severe adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION The trial demonstrated that the test and the reference lisinopril/amlodipine tablets were bioequivalent and well tolerated in Chinese people under fasting and fed conditions.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:3313-3324. [PMID: 35937081 PMCID: PMC9346306 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s358832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction In the previous study, nanoparticles coated with trimethyl chitosan (TMC) derivatives (PPTT-NPs) could promote the oral bioavailability of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS). Herein, we chose PPTT-NPs as a model drug to study the property and mechanism of intestinal absorption in vitro and in vivo. Methods The stability of PPTT-NPs was evaluated using simulated gastric fluid and simulated intestinal fluid. The uptake and transport of PPTT-NPs were investigated in Caco-2 and Caco-2&HT29 co-culture cells. The biosafety, intestinal permeability, adhesion, and absorption mechanism of PPTT-NPs were investigated using SD rats in vivo. The live imaging and biodistribution of PPTT-NPs were observed by IVIS. Furthermore, the effects on CYP3A4 of PPTT-NPs were investigated using testosterone as the probe substrate. Results The results of the stability assay showed that PPTT-NPs had a strong tolerance to the pH and digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal environment. In vitro cell experiments showed that the uptake of drugs exhibited a time-dependent. When the ratio of TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys was 1:3, the uptake capacity of PPTT-NPs was the highest. PPTT-NPs could enhance the paracellular transport of drugs by reversibly opening a tight junction. Animal experiments demonstrated that PPTT-NPs have good biological safety. PPTT-NPs had good adhesion and permeability to small intestinal mucosa. Meanwhile, PPTT-NPs needed energy and various protein to participate in the uptake of drugs. The live imaging of NPs illustrated that PPTT-NPs could prolong the residence time in the intestine. Moreover, TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys could reduce the metabolism of drugs by inhibiting CYP3A4 to a certain extent. Conclusion The results show that TMC-VB12 and TMC-Cys are effective in the transport of PPTT-NPs. PPTT-NPs can increase the intestinal adhesion of drugs and exert high permeation by intestinal enterocytes which demonstrate significant and efficient potential for oral delivery of the BCS III drugs.

Drug Des Devel Ther 2022; 16:1531-1546. [PMID: 35637746 PMCID: PMC9143795 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s356967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this work was to develop an ivacaftor self-nanoemulsion drug delivery system (IVA-SNEDDS) using the newly developed double headed miscellaneous lipid (DHML) as oil phase to reduce the food effect and inter-individual absorption variability of IVA. Methods The lipids with the greatest solubility to IVA were selected as the oil phase of IVA-SNEDDS by saturation solubility method. Then, among different surfactants and co-surfactants, those with good emulsifying ability for the selected oil phase were selected, and the proportion of surfactant and co-surfactant was further selected by pseudo-ternary phase diagram. The prepared IVA-SNEDDS were screened and evaluated in vitro and in beagle dogs. Results The optimized IVA-SNEDDS formulation consisting of DHML, Tween 80, and Transcutol HP with the weight ratio of 2:2:1 was physically stable and it was easy to disperse in water, pH 1.2 hydrochloric acid and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution, and generated a fine homogeneous nanoemulsion, with mean globule size less than 75 nm regardless of dilution ratio. In vitro drug release studies showed that the drug in IVA-SNEDDS could be completely released in a short time, while the drug release in IVA-suspension was less than 1% at 60 min. In vivo, using IVA-suspension (Fed) as a reference, the relative oral bioavailability of IVA-suspension (Fasted), IVA-SNEDDS (Fasted), and IVA-SNEDDS (Fed) were 23.35%, 153.63%, and 149.89%, respectively. This showed that IVA-SNEDDS could eliminate the positive food effect, improve the oral bioavailability, and reduce the IVA absorption difference between individuals. Conclusion As the oil phase of SNEDDS, DHML can significantly improve the drug solubility and drug loading of IVA-SNEDDS. Moreover, DHML was easily emulsified and can effectively form a nanoemulsion in vivo and in vitro. The prepared IVA-SNEDDS can reduce the inter-individual absorption variability of IVA, eliminate its food effect and improve its oral bioavailability.

Results From Phase I Studies Investigating the Dose Linearity of Finerenone Tablets and the Influence of Food or pH-Modifying Comedications on its Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Male Volunteers. Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2022; 47:549-559.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Finerenone is a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that reduces the risk of adverse kidney and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Clinical phase I studies with finerenone were carried out to assess its pharmacokinetics and the influence of common covariables on its absorption after oral administration. METHODS Three crossover studies in healthy male volunteers with single-dose administration of finerenone investigated the dose linearity of a film-coated tablet (1.25-10 mg [n = 24] and 10-20 mg [n = 18]), the effect of food on the 20 mg tablet (n = 18), and the effects of the proton-pump inhibitor omeprazole (4 days pre-treatment and co-administration 2 h before finerenone) and an aluminum/magnesium hydroxide-containing antacid (10 mL [Maalox®] 70 mVal, simultaneous intake) on the 10 mg tablet (n = 10 and n = 11, respectively). RESULTS Finerenone was rapidly absorbed (time to reach maximum plasma concentration [tmax] was 0.50-0.75 h). Area under the curve from zero to infinity (AUC∞) and the maximum concentration (Cmax) increased in proportion to dose in the range investigated in clinical phase II and phase III studies (1.25-20 mg), with point estimates for the ratio of dose-normalized AUC∞ and Cmax (20 mg/10 mg, approved therapeutic doses) of 0.9943 and 0.9301. After the administration of finerenone 20 mg with a high-fat, high-calorie meal, AUC∞ increased (+ 21%), Cmax decreased (-19%), and tmax was prolonged (2.47 vs. 0.75 h) when compared with the fasting state. Omeprazole had no effect on finerenone AUC∞ and Cmax. Maalox had no effect on finerenone AUC∞ and led to a non-clinically-relevant decrease in Cmax (-19%). CONCLUSIONS The pharmacokinetics of the finerenone film-coated tablet were linear. High-fat, high-calorie food had no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of finerenone. In addition, pH-modifying comedications were not found to alter the pharmacokinetics of finerenone and were deemed safe for co-administration.

Abstract
This single 60-mg dose, 4-period crossover study assessed the effect of food and formulation change on navtemadlin (KRT-232) pharmacokinetics (PK) and macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) pharmacodynamics. Healthy subjects (N = 30) were randomized to 3 treatment sequences, A: new tablet, fasted (reference, dosed twice); B: new tablet, 30 minutes after a high-fat meal (test 1); C: old tablet, fasted (test 2). PK/pharmacodynamic parameters were measured over 0 to 96 hours. Adverse events were mild without any discontinuations. No serious adverse events or deaths occurred. In treatment A, navtemadlin mean (coefficient of variation) maximum concentration (Cmax ) was 525 (66) ng/mL, at median time to maximum concentration (tmax ) of 2 hours. Mean (coefficient of variation) area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t (AUC0-t ) was 3392 (63.3) ng • h/mL, and arithmetic mean terminal half-life was 18.6 hours. Acyl glucuronide metabolite (M1)/navtemadlin AUC0-t ratio was 0.2, and urine excretion of navtemadlin was negligible. After a meal (B vs A), navtemadlin tmax was delayed by 1 hour. Geometric least squares means ratios (90%CI) for navtemadlin Cmax and AUC0-t were 102.7% (87.4-120.6) and 81.4% (76.2-86.9), respectively. Old vs new tablet fasted formulations (C vs A) had geometric least squares means ratios (90%CI) of 78.4% (72.0-85.3) for Cmax and 85.9% (80.5-91.7) for AUC0-t . MIC-1 Cmax and AUC were comparable across groups; tmax was delayed relative to navtemadlin tmax by ≈8 hours. Navtemadlin AUC0-t and MIC-1 AUC0-t correlated significantly. In conclusion, navtemadlin can be administered safely with or without food; the new formulation does not affect navtemadlin PK. The 60-mg navtemadlin dose elicited a reproducible and robust MIC-1 response that correlated well with navtemadlin exposure, indicating that murine double minute 2 target engagement leads to p53 activation.

Abstract
The food effects for orally administered drugs have been widely investigated and reviewed. In contrast, our knowledge of food effects for non-orally administered drugs is scarce. In this review paper, we did a literature survey to collect clinical food effect data for non-orally administered drugs. Our survey retrieved 18 drugs, including thirteen intravenously (IV), two subcutaneously (SC), one intradermally (ID), one pulmonary, and one rectally administered drug. The food effect data show that food intake can increase the absorption of SC and ID administered peptides and proteins with MW < 30 kDa by 30-50%. On the other hand, food intake can increase the elimination of IV and inhaled drugs with moderate and high hepatic extraction and reduce drug exposure by up to 35%. The food effect knowledge can be used to mitigate potential efficacy and safety risks of non-orally administered drugs.

A randomized, crossover, phase I clinical study to evaluate bioequivalence and safety of tofacitinib and Xeljanz® in Chinese healthy subjects. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 109:108780. [PMID: 35461158 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.108780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that has been marketed and approved in the USA for the clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. A phase I clinical trial was conducted to compare the bioequivalence and safety of tofacitinib (Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.) and Xeljanz® (Pfizer Inc.) in healthy Chinese subjects, providing basis for the clinical application of tofacitinib. METHODS Healthy Chinese subjects (N = 32) were randomly assigned to two groups at a 1:1 ratio. Subjects orally took 5 mg tofacitinib or Xeljanz® per cycle in random sequence. Blood samples were collected at 15 sampling points per cycle, and plasma drug concentrations of tofacitinib or Xeljanz® were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and statistical analysis for the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Subjects' physical indicators were monitored during the whole process to evaluate drug safety. RESULTS The adjusted geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of the peak concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) and AUC from time zero to observed infinity (AUC0-∞) were all within the range of 80-125%. The other PK parameter values were similar. The above values were all meeting the bioequivalence criteria with well safety. CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetic parameters and safety profile of tofacitinib were similar to those of Xeljanz® in healthy Chinese subjects. Therefore, tofacitinib can be considered bioequivalent to Xeljanz®, and the findings of this trial will promote the clinical application of tofacitinib.

Radice C, Korzekwa K, Nagar S. Predicting impact of food and feeding time on oral absorption of drugs with a novel rat continuous intestinal absorption model. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:750-761.

Abstract
Intricacies in intestinal physiology, drug properties, and food effects should be incorporated into models to predict complex oral drug absorption. A previously published human continuous intestinal absorption model based on the convection-diffusion equation was modified specifically for the male Sprague-Dawley rat in this report. Species-specific physiological conditions along intestinal length 'x' - experimental velocity and pH under fasted and fed conditions, were measured and incorporated into the intestinal absorption model. Concentration- time (C-t) profiles were measured upon a single IV and PO dose for three drugs, amlodipine (AML), digoxin (DIG), and glyburide (GLY). Absorption profiles were predicted and compared with experimentally collected data under three feeding conditions: 12-hr fasted rats were provided food at two specific times after oral drug dose (1 hr and 2 hr for AML and GLY, 0.5 hr and 1 hr for DIG), or were provided food for the entire study. IV versus PO C-t profiles suggested absorption even at later times, and informed design of appropriate mathematical input functions based on experimental feeding times. With this model, AML, DIG and GLY oral C-t profiles for all feeding groups were generally well predicted, with exposure overlap coefficients (EOC) in the range of 0.80 - 0.97. Efflux transport for DIG and uptake and efflux transport for GLY were included, modeling uptake transporter inhibition in the presence of food. Results indicate that the continuous intestinal rat model incorporates complex physiological processes and feeding times relative to drug dose, into a simple framework to provide accurate prediction of oral absorption. Significance Statement A novel rat continuous intestinal model predicts drug absorption with respect to time and intestinal length. Feeding time relative to dose was modeled as a key effect. Experimental fasted/fed intestinal pH and velocity, efflux and uptake transporter expression along intestinal length, and uptake transporter inhibition in the presence of food, were modeled. The model uses the pharmacokinetic profiles of three model drugs and provides a novel framework to study food effects on absorption.

Abstract
Phenazines are ubiquitously produced by Pseudomonas spp. in the environment and are widely used in agriculture and clinical therapies, making their accumulation through the food chain cause potential risks to human health. Here, we utilized pyocyanin (PYO) as a representative to study the effects of phenazines on digestive tracts. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that PYO exhibited low systemic exposure, slow elimination, and low accumulation in both rat and pig models. PYO was subsequently found to induce intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, destroy the mucus layer and physical barrier, and even promote gut vascular barrier (GVB) impairment, consequently increasing the gut permeability. Additionally, integral and metabolomic analyses of the liver demonstrated that PYO induced liver inflammation and metabolic disorders. The metabolic analysis further confirmed that all of the metabolites of PYO retain the nitrogen-containing tricyclic structural skeleton of phenazines, which was the core bioactivity of phenazine compounds. These findings elucidated that PYO could be metabolized by animals. Meanwhile, high levels of PYO could induce intestinal barrier impairment and liver damage, suggesting that we should be alert to the accumulation of phenazines.

Abstract
Belumosudil is a selective Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 inhibitor. A capsule formulation was used during early clinical development of belumosudil; it was later replaced by a tablet formulation, which mimicked the capsule's release properties and facilitated manufacturing scalability. To assess belumosudil's pharmacokinetics, including potential food effects, and evaluate the relative bioavailability of the 2 formulations, 2 phase 1 clinical trials were conducted. Administration of both belumosudil tablets and capsules with food increased exposure ≈2× as compared to the fasted state and delayed time to maximum concentration by 0.5 hour, indicating a decrease in the rate but increase in the extent of absorption with fed administration. Relative bioavailability was slightly higher when belumosudil was administered as tablets vs capsules, although the difference was not clinically meaningful. Safety and tolerability were generally consistent with the known safety profile of belumosudil. The results of these studies support administration of belumosudil with food.

[PMID: 35214062 PMCID: PMC8879660 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14020330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Generally, some weakly basic insoluble drugs will undergo precipitate and redissolution after emptying from the stomach to the small intestinal, resulting in the limited ability to predict the absorption characteristics of compounds in advance. Absorption is determined by the solubility and permeability of compounds, which are related to physicochemical properties, while knowledge about the absorption of redissolved precipitate is poorly documented. Considering that biorelevant media have been widely used to simulate gastrointestinal fluids, sufficient precipitates can be obtained in biorelevant media in vitro. Herein, the purpose of this manuscript is to evaluate the physicochemical properties of precipitates obtained from biorelevant media and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), and then to explore the potential absorption difference between API and precipitates. Precipitates can be formed by the interaction between compounds and intestinal fluid contents, leading to changes in the crystal structure, melting point, and melting process. However, the newly formed crystals have some advantageous properties compared with the API, such as the improved dissolved rate and the increased intrinsic dissolution rate. Additionally, the permeability of some precipitates obtained from biorelevant media was different from API. Meanwhile, the permeability of rivaroxaban and Drug-A was decreased by 1.92-fold and 3.53-fold, respectively, when the experiments were performed in a biorelevant medium instead of a traditional medium. Therefore, the absorption of precipitate may differ from that of API, and the permeability assay in traditional medium may be overestimated. Based on the research results, it is crucial to understand the physicochemical properties of precipitates and API, which can be used as the departure point to improve the prediction performance of absorption.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop an in silico model of the stomach for predicting oral drug absorption in fed humans. We focused on a model capable of simulating dynamic fluid volume changes and included a simulated Magenstraße "stomach road," a route along the lesser curvature that often carries fluids rapidly to assess the gastric emptying of drugs. Two types of model liquid drug formulations, liquid-filled soft gelatin capsules (enzalutamide, cyclosporine, and nifedipine) and oral solutions (levofloxacin and fenfluramine), were used. An in silico model was assembled, and simulations were performed using Stella Professional software. The secretion rate of the gastric juice induced by food ingestion was assessed along with the gastric emptying of the ingested water via the Magenstraße in the fed state. The model for the fed state successfully described the in vivo performance of the model drug formulations. These results clearly indicate the importance of including gastric secretion and the kinetics of Magenstraße when predicting the in vivo performance of dosage forms using an in silico modeling and simulation of fed humans. This simulation model should be further optimized to allow for the different physiological mechanisms following the ingestion of different types of meals, as well as modifications for interindividual and intraindividual variabilities in gastrointestinal physiology in the fed state in the future.

Abstract
Because pharmacokinetic changes in antiretroviral drugs (ARV), due to their concurrent administration with food or nutritional products, have become a clinical challenge, it is necessary to monitor the therapeutic efficacy of ARV in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to clarify the pharmacokinetic outcomes of the interaction between supplements such as food, dietary supplements, and nutrients, and ARV. Twenty-four articles in both healthy subjects and PLWH were included in the qualitative analysis, of which five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Food−drug coadministration significantly increased the time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) (p < 0.00001) of ARV including abacavir, amprenavir, darunavir, emtricitabine, lamivudine, zidovudine, ritonavir, and tenofovir alafenamide. In addition, the increased maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ARV, such as darunavir, under fed conditions was observed. Area under the curve and terminal half-life were not significantly affected. Evaluating the pharmacokinetic aspects, it is vital to clinically investigate ARV and particular supplement interaction in PLWH. Educating patients about any potential interactions would be one of the effective recommendations during this HIV epidemic.

Abstract
Drugs and food interact mutually: drugs may affect the nutritional status of the body, acting on senses, appetite, resting energy expenditure, and food intake; conversely, food or one of its components may affect bioavailability and half-life, circulating plasma concentrations of drugs resulting in an increased risk of toxicity and its adverse effects, or therapeutic failure. Therefore, the knowledge of these possible interactions is fundamental for the implementation of a nutritional treatment in the presence of a pharmacological therapy. This is the case of chronic kidney disease (CKD), for which the medication burden could be a problem, and nutritional therapy plays an important role in the patient’s treatment. The aim of this paper was to review the interactions that take place between drugs and foods that can potentially be used in renal patients, and the changes in nutritional status induced by drugs. A proper definition of the amount of food/nutrient intake, an adequate definition of the timing of meal consumption, and a proper adjustment of the drug dosing schedule may avoid these interactions, safeguarding the quality of life of the patients and guaranteeing the effectiveness of drug therapy. Hence, a close collaboration between the nephrologist, the renal dietitian, and the patient is crucial. Dietitians should consider that food may interact with drugs and that drugs may affect nutritional status, in order to provide the patient with proper dietary suggestions, and to allow the maximum effectiveness and safety of drug therapy, while preserving/correcting the nutritional status.

Abstract
In this study, observed food effects of 473 drugs were categorized into positive, negative, or no effects and compared with the predictions made by machine learning (ML), the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) and refined Developability Classification System (rDCS). All methods used primarily in silico estimates for prediction, and for ML, four algorithms were evaluated using nested cross-validation to select important information from 371 features calculated based on the chemical structure. Approximately 18 features, including estimated solubility in biorelevant media, were selected as important, and the random forest classifier was the best among four algorithms with 36.6% error rate (ER) and 10.8% opposite prediction rate (OPR). The prediction by rDCS utilizing solubility in a biorelevant medium was somewhat inferior, but not by much; 41.0% ER and 11.4% OPR. Compared with these two methods, the prediction by BCS was inferior; 54.5% ER and 21.4% OPR. ER was improved modestly by using measured features instead of in silico estimates when BCS was applied to a subset of 151 drugs (46.4% from 55.0%). ML and rDCS predicted the food effects of the same subset using in silico estimates with ERs of 37.7% and 42.4%, respectively, suggesting that the predictions by ML and rDCS using in silico features are similar or more accurate than those by BCS using measured features. These results suggest that ML was useful in revealing essential features from complex information and, together with rDCS, is effective in predicting food effects during drug development, including early drug discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Palbociclib is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 used for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. This study compared the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles between a new generic and a branded reference formulation of palbociclib capsules in healthy Chinese subjects under fasting and fed conditions and evaluated the bioequivalence of two palbociclib products to obtain sufficient evidence for the marketing approval of the new generic drug. METHODS A randomized, open-label, two-period crossover study was conducted in healthy Chinese volunteers under both fasting and fed conditions (30 subjects/condition). Eligible healthy subjects received a single 125-mg dose of the palbociclib test or reference formulation followed by a 14-day washout period. Serial blood samples were collected at scheduled timepoints, and plasma concentrations were determined by a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. A non-compartment method was used to calculate the main pharmacokinetic parameters, including the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t), the AUC from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞), the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the time to maximum plasma concentration, and the elimination half-life. The geometric mean ratios and the corresponding 90% confidence intervals of palbociclib were acquired for the bioequivalence analysis. Safety and tolerability were assessed by monitoring adverse events, laboratory assessments, vital signs, physical examinations, and 12-lead electrocardiograms. RESULTS Under the fasting condition, the pharmacokinetic parameter values of the test formulation were similar to those of the reference formulation. The 90% confidence intervals of geometric mean ratios of the test to reference formulations were 94.35-103.82% for Cmax, 94.79-103.26% for AUC0-t, and 94.82-103.38% for AUC0-∞, which are all within the accepted bioequivalence range of 80.00-125.00%. Meanwhile, under the fed condition, the pharmacokinetic parameter values of the test formulation were also similar to those of the reference formulation. The 90% confidence intervals of geometric mean ratios of the test to reference formulations were 96.65-103.56% for Cmax, 98.06-103.61% for AUC0-t, and 97.88-103.46% for AUC0-∞, which are all within the accepted bioequivalence range of 80.00-125.00%. The test and reference products were well tolerated, and no serious adverse events occurred during the study. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacokinetic bioequivalence of palbociclib in healthy subjects was established between the palbociclib test formulation and the reference formulation under fasting and fed conditions according to predetermined regulatory criteria. The two formulations were safe and well tolerated.

Abstract
Background Foods and the nutrients they contain can interact with drugs and thereby interfere with their therapeutic safety and efficacy. Adequate knowledge of healthcare professionals (HCPs) about drug-food interactions can help in preventing potential drug-food interactions among patients. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of HCPs about common drug-food interactions. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among 459 HCPs from three public hospitals in eThekwini district, KwaZulu-Natal between November 2018, and January 2019. Informed consent was obtained from the HCPs, and a structured questionnaire was thereafter administered. Data were analysed using SPSS® version 25. Factors associated with knowledge of the HCPs were determined using logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 459 participants, 22.2% (n = 102) were doctors, 11.3% (n = 52) pharmacists, 63.8% (n = 293) nurses and 2.6% (n = 12) dietitians. Most of the HCPs were females 79.7% (n = 366), the mean age of the HCPs was 38.61±0.48. The knowledge score of the HCPs was 22.66±0.25 out of an overall score of 46. The HCPs poorly identified food types that interact with drugs and correct administration time of drugs relative to meals. Being a pharmacist (OR: 14.212, CI: 4.941–40.879, p<0.001), doctor (OR: 5.223, CI: 2.146–12.711, p<0.001), or a dietitian (OR: 5.476, CI: 1.103–27.191, p = 0.038) was associated with higher knowledge of drug-food interactions. Conclusion The HCPs in this survey had low drug-food interaction knowledge. These findings suggest the need for additional training and educational courses for the HCPs on drug-food interactions.

Abstract
Vestibular disorders may generate complex signs and symptoms, which may alter patients' balance and the quality of life. Dizziness and vertigo can strongly affect daily activities and relations. Despite the presence of conventional drugs, maneuvers, and surgery, another interesting therapeutic opportunity is offered by nutraceuticals. These molecules are often used in the treatment of dizziness and vertigo, but the rationale of their application is not always solidly demonstrated by the scientific evidence. Several substances have shown a variable level of efficacy/usefulness in this field, but there is lack of important evidence for most of them. From a medico-legal point of view, specific information must be provided to the patient regarding the efficacy and possibilities that the use of these preparations can allow. Administering the right nutraceutical to the proper patient is a fundamental clinical skill. Integrating conventional drug treatment with nutraceutical administration seems to be easy, but it may be difficult considering the (in part unexplored) pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of nutraceuticals. The aim of the scientific community should be to elevate nutraceuticals to the same law and technical dignity of conventional drugs.

Abstract
Antimicrobial prophylaxis is increasingly being used in patients with hematological malignancies receiving high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, few studies have focused on the potential impact of gastrointestinal mucositis (GI-M), a frequently observed side effect of chemotherapy in patients with cancer that affects the gastrointestinal microenvironment, on drug absorption. In this review, we discuss how chemotherapy leads to an overall loss of mucosal surface area and consequently to uncontrolled transport across the barrier. The barrier function is depending on intestinal luminal pH, intestinal motility, and diet. Another factor contributing to drug absorption is the gut microbiota, as it modulates the bioavailability of orally administrated drugs by altering the gastrointestinal properties. To better understand the complex interplay of factors in GI-M and drug absorption we suggest: (i) the longitudinal characterization of the impact of GI-M severity on drug exposure in patients, (ii) the development of tools to predict drug absorption, and (iii) strategies that allow the support of the gut microbiota. These studies will provide relevant data to better design strategies to reduce the severity and impact of GI-M in patients with cancer.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides (PPs) have gradually become more attractive therapeutic molecules than small molecular drugs due to their high selectivity and efficacy, but fewer side effects. Owing to the poor stability and limited permeability through gastrointestinal (GI) tract and epithelia, the therapeutic PPs are usually administered by parenteral route. Given the big demand for oral administration in clinical use, a variety of researches focused on developing new technologies to overcome GI barriers of PPs, such as enteric coating, enzyme inhibitors, permeation enhancers, nanoparticles, as well as intestinal microdevices. Some new technologies have been developed under clinical trials and even on the market. This review summarizes the history, the physiological barriers and the overcoming approaches, current clinical and preclinical technologies, and future prospects of oral delivery of PPs.

Abstract
It is well known that lifestyle changes can alter several physiological functions in the human body. For exercise and diet, these effects are used sensibly in basic therapies, as in cardiovascular diseases. However, the physiological changes induced by exercise and a modified diet also have the capacity to influence the efficacy and toxicity of several drugs, mainly by affecting different pharmacokinetic mechanisms. This pharmacological plasticity is not clinically relevant in all cases but might play an important role in altering the effects of very common drugs, particularly drugs with a narrow therapeutic window. Therefore, with this review, we provide insights into possible food–drug and exercise–drug interactions to sharpen awareness of the potential occurrence of such effects.

Abstract
Background: Hepatitis B virus capsid assembly modulators (HBV CAMs) are promising, clinically validated therapeutic agents for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of GST-HG141, a novel HBV CAM, were evaluated in healthy Chinese volunteers. Method: This phase Ia study included two parts: a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled single-ascending-dose (SAD) (50, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 mg) study comprising a food-effect investigation (300 mg), and a multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) (100 or 200 mg BID) study. Result: GST-HG141 reached the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) at 1.25-3.00 h (median Tmax). The exposure exhibited a linear increase, while the mean half-life (t1/2) ranged from 13.096 h to 22.121 h. The exposure of GST-HG141 (300 mg) was higher after food intake by about 2.4-fold. In the MAD study, steady-state was reached at around day 5, and the mean trough steady-state concentrations were 423 and 588 ng/mL for 50 and 100mg cohorts, respectively. The ratios of GST-HG141 accumulation were <1.5. GST-HG141 was well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. The rates of adverse events (AEs) in the GST-HG141 cohort did not differ from those of the placebo cohort. Conclusion: GST-HG141 was tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. The safety and PK profiles of GST-HG141 support the further evaluation of its efficacy in individuals with CHB.

Abstract
Agomelatine is a novel melatonergic antidepressant, with a non-monoaminergic mechanism of action. The aim of this study was to evaluate its plasma concentrations after a single oral dose of 300 mg/dog in fasted and fed status. The research was carried out in 6 adult healthy Labrador dogs according to a randomized open, single-dose, two-treatment, two-phase, paired 2 × 2 cross-over study. At the end of the study all the animals had received the drug in fasted and fed conditions. The drug concentrations were detected in plasma by a validated LC-MS/MS analytical method. The plasma concentrations of agomelatine were found to be extremely variable in both groups as well as the pharmacokinetic profiles. Due to these variable findings the only reliable pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed as Cmax (31.8 vs 15.7 ng/mL), Tmax (0.75 vs 4 h) and AUC (155 vs 52 ng h/mL) in fasted and fed status, respectively. Unfortunately, as a pioneer study, the small animal sample size used along with the unanticipated variability did not allow to neither statistically estimate if food can affect the pharmacokinetics of agomelatine nor recommend agomelatine for off-label therapies in canine species. Further studies are warranted to clarify this issue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence and medical burden of obesity, the understanding of gastrointestinal physiology in obesity is scarce, which hampers drug development. AIM To investigate the effect of obesity and food intake on gastrointestinal transit, pressure and pH. MATERIAL AND METHODS An exploratory cross-sectional study using a wireless motility capsule (SmartPill©) was performed in 11 participants with obesity and 11 age- and gender-matched participants with normal weight (group) in fasted and fed state (visit). During the first visit, the capsule was ingested after an overnight fast. During a second visit, the capsule was ingested after a nutritional drink to simulate fed state. Linear mixed models were constructed to compare segmental gastrointestinal transit, pressure and pH between groups (obesity or control) and within every group (fasted or fed). RESULTS Food intake slowed gastric emptying in both groups (both P < 0.0001), though food-induced gastric contractility was higher in participants with obesity compared to controls (P = 0.02). In the small intestine, a higher contractility (P = 0.001), shorter transit (P = 0.04) and lower median pH (P = 0.002) was observed in participants with obesity compared to controls. No differences were observed for colonic measurements. CONCLUSION Obesity has a profound impact on gastrointestinal physiology, which should be taken into account for drug development.

Zhang T, Zou P. Assessing Food Effects on Oral Drug Absorption Based on the Degree of Renal Excretion. AAPS JOURNAL 2021; 23:47.

Abstract
Food intake influences the pharmacokinetics of orally administered drugs by altering drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion. A drug which is mainly excreted into urine as parent drug is usually highly water-soluble and metabolically stable. Food intake is not expected to significantly affect its extent of oral absorption, metabolism, and excretion. Therefore, we hypothesize that an orally administered drug with significant renal excretion should not have a dramatic food effect (FE). To test our hypothesis, we summarized the FE for orally administered immediate-release (IR) and modified-release (MR) formulations approved by the US FDA from 1998 to 2019, focusing on drugs undergoing significant renal excretion. Totally, 98 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in IR formulations and 34 APIs in MR formulations were selected. The results demonstrate that the area-under-the-curve (AUC) for IR drug products with fur_unchanged_po > 10% is unlikely to be affected by food, although the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) may increase or decrease by up to 50%. Compared with IR drug products with fur_unchanged_po > 10%, MR drug products with fur_unchanged_po > 10% tend to have more significant FE. Although our proposed approach cannot substitute a clinical FE study, it could be a useful addition to early drug development to get an initial sense of the potential for FE for a drug candidate.

Abstract
Food reduces tacrolimus bioavailability after immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-Tac) and after a new prolonged-release tacrolimus formulation (PR-Tac), when using a high-fat breakfast, but the effects of a continental breakfast on PR-Tac are unknown. In an open-label, 4-phase, randomized, 2-sequence, crossover pharmacokinetic trial, 36 healthy volunteers (18 females) received single 5-mg tacrolimus doses as PR-Tac and as IR-Tac fasted or with a standardized continental breakfast. Tacrolimus pharmacokinetics were analyzed using noncompartmental methods and mixed-model analysis of variance. The continental breakfast significantly decreased average tacrolimus exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) with both preparations (IR-Tac, 67%; 90% confidence interval [CI], 59%-75%; P < .01; and PR-Tac, 79%; 90%CI, 70%-89%; P < .01) with a nonsignificant difference between both preparations (P = .10). The maximum concentration (Cmax ) and the time to maximum concentration (tmax ) were significantly affected only after IR-Tac (Cmax IR-Tac, 39%; 90%CI, 34%-45%; P < .01; and PR-Tac, 87%; 90%CI, 76%-101%; P = .11; tmax IR-Tac, 212%, 90%CI, 179%-252%; P < .01; and PR-Tac, 101%; 90%CI, 86%-120%; P = .89), which was significantly different between both preparations (P < .01). Considering switching from IR-Tac to PR-Tac, predicted dose requirements differed according to the timing of drug intake in relation to food. In conclusion, a continental breakfast decreased average tacrolimus exposure of both preparations to a similar extent. Cmax and tmax were affected only after IR-Tac. The effect of a standardized continental breakfast on PR-Tac was considerably smaller than previously reported effects of a high-fat breakfast on PR-Tac.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is the primary option for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. Conventional drug delivery poses solubility and bioavailability challenges, systemic toxicity, non-specific targeting, and poor accumulation of chemotherapeutic drugs at the desired site. Nanotechnology has led to the development of various nanomaterials that have decreased the toxicity and increased the accumulation of drugs at the target site. Systemic administration of nanomaterials causes burst release and non-specific targeting of chemotherapeutics, leading to off-target organ toxicity. Drug delivery based on low molecular weight hydrogels (LMWHs) provides a suitable alternative for drug delivery due to their ability to entrap chemotherapeutic drugs. Injectable and biodegradable LMWHs allow the administration of chemotherapeutics with minimal invasion, allow the sustained release of chemotherapeutic drugs for long periods, and reduce the challenges of immunogenicity and low drug entrapment efficiency. Herein, we summarize the advances in the engineering of LMWHs for controlled and prolonged delivery of chemotherapeutics for cancer, infectious diseases, and inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
SCOPE To promote local and systemic benefits of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), methods of increasing their delivery to the gastrointestinal tract are needed. SCFA in foods and beverages represents a poorly characterized source. Main aims of this study are: 1) quantify SCFA in commonly consumed foods and beverages, and 2) explore the pharmacokinetics of consuming oral SCFA from dietary sources. METHODS AND RESULTS Gas-chromatography coupled to flame ionization detection is used measure SCFA in 38 commonly consumed foods and beverages. Acetate is the most abundant SCFA detected, with kombucha and vinegar found to provide >1000 mg of acetate per serve. An acute pharmacokinetic study is conducted in 10 participants. Acetate is stable across the 2-h sampling period after consumption of a control drink, with consumption of a vinegar drink containing 25 mmol acetate significantly increasing plasma acetate concentration after 60 min and increasing acetate delivery to the blood upon assessment of the area under the pharmacokinetic curve. CONCLUSION Fermented foods and beverages are a natural source of dietary SCFA that acutely deliver SCFA to the blood. If systemic delivery is needed for immunological and metabolic effects to occur, these may be achieved if delivered over a longer period of time.

Abstract
The administration of medication through an enteral access device requires important forethought. Meeting a patient's therapeutic needs requires achieving expected drug bioavailability without increasing the risk for toxicity, therapeutic failure, or feeding tube occlusion. Superimposing gut dysfunction, critical illness, or enteral nutrition-drug interaction further increases the need for a systematic approach to prescribing, evaluating, and preparing a drug for administration through an enteral access device. This review will explain the fundamental factors involved in drug bioavailability through the gut, address the influencing considerations for the enterally fed patient, and describe best practices for enteral drug preparation and administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess the bioequivalence of a generic empagliflozin tablet versus a brand-named empagliflozin tablet (Jardiance®) and evaluate the food effects on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of empagliflozin in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS Forty-eight healthy volunteers were included in this randomized, open-label, crossover, two-period study (fasting: n = 24, fed: n = 24). A single dose of 25-mg generic (or test) or brand-named (or reference) empagliflozin was administered to each subject in a randomized sequence. Blood samples were collected at the baseline and during the 72 h post-dose, and plasma empagliflozin concentrations were determined by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed with non-compartmental methods. Safety was monitored. RESULTS The major PK parameters including C max, AUC0- t , and AUC0-∞ were similar between the generic and brand-named tablets under fasting and fed conditions (all p > .05). The 90% confidence intervals of the test/reference ratios of log-transformed C max, AUC0- t , and AUC0-∞ were 94.90-106.70%, 100.62-106.99%, and 100.64-106.85%, respectively, under fasting condition, and 94.21-104.91%, 97.31-101.79%, and 97.32-101.83%, respectively, under fed condition. High-fat food did not affect C max, AUC0- t , AUC0-∞, or T max of empagliflozin (all p > .05). There was no serious adverse event during the study period. CONCLUSION The generic formulation of empagliflozin tablet is bioequivalent to the brand-named product in healthy Chinese volunteers, and well tolerated. High-fat food had no effects on the PK of empagliflozin in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Abstract
Sodium channel 2 subunit α (SCN2A) mutations cause difficult-to-treat early-onset epilepsy. Effective treatment includes high-dose phenytoin or carbamazepine ± ketogenic diet (KD). We describe an infant with early-onset SCN2A-epilepsy with subtherapeutic carbamazepine concentration during transition from phenytoin treatment to avoid long-term neurotoxicity. The transition from high-dose phenytoin (20 mg kg-1 d-1 , concentration: ≥20 mg/L) with KD, to carbamazepine (50-75 mg kg-1 d-1 , concentration: 9-12 mg/L) lasted 85 days, which we suspected was due to significant drug-drug and/or drug-food interactions. Model-based analysis of carbamazepine pharmacokinetics quantified significant time- and dose-dependent phenytoin-mediated CYP3A4 induction and carbamazepine concentration-dependent auto-induction (apparent clearance increased up to 2.5/3-fold). Lower carbamazepine concentrations under KD were modelled as decreased relative bioavailability (44%), potentially related to decreased fraction absorbed (unexpected for this lipophilic drug), increased intestinal/hepatic metabolism and/or decreased protein-binding with KD. This suggests importance of carbamazepine-concentration monitoring during KD-introduction/removal and necessity of high carbamazepine doses to achieve therapeutic concentrations, especially in infants treated with high-dose phenytoin.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence of a generic immediate-release tofacitinib tablet versus a brand-named immediate-release tofacitinib tablet under fasting and fed conditions, and the food effect on pharmacokinetic profiles of the both formulations. This randomized, open-label, 2-period, crossover, bioequivalence study included 52 healthy Chinese subjects (fasting cohort: n = 26; fed cohort: n = 26). The subjects were assigned to receive a single 5-mg dose of generic or brand-named tofacitinib. Blood samples were collected at predosing and up to 14 hours after dosing. Tofacitinib concentrations in plasma were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Safety was monitored. There were no significant differences in maximum plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t (AUC0-t ), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞ ), and terminal elimination half-life between the test and reference formulations (all P > .05); high-fat food had no significant effect on AUC0-t , AUC0-∞, or terminal elimination half-life of immediate-release tofacitinib tablets (all P > .05). The 90% confidence intervals of the test/reference ratios of log-transformed maximum plasma concentration, AUC0-t , and AUC0-∞ were within the range of 80% to 125% under both fasting and fed conditions. No serious adverse events were reported. The 2 formulations of immediate-release tofacitinib tablets are bioequivalent and well tolerated under both fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese volunteers. Food had no clinically relevant effects on drug exposure of tofacitinib.

Abstract
The bioavailability of an orally administered small molecule is often dictated by drug-specific physicochemical characteristics and is influenced by many biological processes. For example, in fed or fasted conditions, the transit time within the gastrointestinal tract can vary, confounding the ability to predict the oral absorption. As such, the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of compounds in the various biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) classes need to be assessed. The consumption of food leads to physiological changes, including fluctuations in the gastric and intestinal pH, a delay in gastric emptying, an increased bile secretion, and an increased splanchnic and hepatic blood flow. Despite the significant impact of a drug's absorption and dissolution, food effects have not been fully studied and are often overlooked. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models can be used to mechanistically simulate a compound's pharmacokinetics under fed or fasted conditions, while integrating drug properties such as solubility and permeability. This review discusses the PBPK models published in the literature predicting the food effects, the models' strengths and shortcomings, as well as future steps to mitigate the current knowledge gap. We observed gaps in knowledge which limits the ability of PBPK models to predict the negative food effects and food effects in the pediatric population. Overall, the further development of PBPK models to predict food effects will provide a mechanistic basis to understand a drug's behavior in fed and fasted conditions, and will help enable the drug development process.

Abstract
Background Pharmacists have crucial role in providing drug information and medication counseling to patients. This survey aimed to benchmark the current knowledge of the pharmacists concerning food-drug interactions (FDIs) in Jordan. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Amman, the capital and largest city of Jordan, using a validated questionnaire. It was distributed to pharmacists working in community and hospital pharmacies using a convenience sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed in this study. Results A total of 340 questionnaires distributed, 300 (88%) pharmacists responded. Over 50% of pharmacists claimed that they have sufficient knowledge regarding FDI. Virtually, the overall median (interquartile range) knowledge score was 18 (15–21), approximately 60%. The highest knowledge scores were for alcohol-drug interactions section (66.6%) followed by both common food-drug interactions and the timing of drug intake to food consumption sections with a score of (58.3%) for each, reflecting a suboptimal knowledge of FDIs among the pharmacists. Conclusion Pharmacists had unsatisfactory knowledge about common FDIs, with no significant difference between hospital and community pharmacists. Therefore, more attention and efforts should be played to improve awareness about potential food-drug interactions.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors are important treatment options for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), associated with ALK gene rearrangement. Patients with ALK gene rearrangement show sensitivity to and benefit clinically from treatment with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs). To date, crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, lorlatinib, and entrectinib have received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration and/or the European Medicines Agency for use during the treatment of ALK-gene-rearrangement forms of NSCLC. Although the oral route of administration is convenient and results in good compliance among patients, oral administration can be affected by many factors, such as food, intragastric pH, cytochrome P450 enzymes, transporters, and p-glycoprotein. These factors can result in increased risks for serious adverse events or can lead to reduced therapeutic effects of ALK-TKIs. This review characterizes and summarizes the pharmacokinetic parameters and drug–-drug interactions associated with ALK-TKIs to provide specific recommendations for oncologists and clinical pharmacists when prescribing ALK-TKIs.

Abstract
Quizartinib is an oral, highly potent, and selective type II FMS‐like tyrosine kinase 3 inhibitor in development for acute myeloid leukemia. This parallel‐group study evaluated potential food effects on quizartinib absorption in healthy subjects who received a single 30‐mg dose after overnight fasting (n = 34) or a high‐fat, high‐calorie meal (n = 30). Blood samples were collected through 504 hours after dosing, and pharmacokinetic parameters calculated were maximum observed concentration (Cmax) and area under plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) and from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf). Mean quizartinib pharmacokinetic profiles were similar under fasted and fed conditions. The geometric least squares means ratios (%) for fed/fasted and associated 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf were 91.58 (82.15‐102.08), 105.39 (90.79‐122.35), and 108.39 (91.54‐128.34), respectively. The 90%CI for the ratio fell within the 80% to 125% limits for Cmax and AUClast, with 90%CI for AUCinf slightly outside the limits (ie, 128%). Food delayed quizartinib time to Cmax by 2 hours. All adverse events were either mild or moderate; no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred. Based on these results, quizartinib can be administered without regard to food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An inadequate combination of prescription drugs with food or medicinal plants could cause adverse effects in patients or produce negative therapeutic results. Therefore, this generic systematic review protocol aims to identify and synthesize the literature on clinical characteristics and safety issues of these types of pharmacological interactions occurring in children, adolescents, adults, pregnant/lactating women, and older adults. METHODS/DESIGN This generic protocol follows the stated guidelines from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. A literature search will be performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library (VHL) electronic databases from 1960 till present for studies reporting clinical characteristics and safety issues associated with pharmacological interactions occurring between prescription drugs and food or medicinal plants in participants from birth-age to ≥ 65-year-old, including pregnant/lactating women. Lateral searching will be carried out in PubMed via related citation. Two reviewers will carry out an independent evaluation of eligible studies as well as the corresponding data extraction of the selected ones. Subsequently, the methodological quality evaluation of the selected articles will be completed using the corresponding Joanna Briggs Institute Checklists. Moreover, the quality of evidence will be graded according to the criteria of the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group. Quantitative research in humans comprising clinical trials and clinical, comparative and, observational studies will be included. The main outcomes of this protocol involve reported potential food-drug and herb-drug interactions, associated safety issues, and adverse reactions along with the generic name of the prescribed drug and the scientific name of the food and medicinal plants involved in these types of pharmacological interactions. Finally, findings extracted from the selected studies will be summarized in a narrative synthesis. DISCUSSION This generic systematic review protocol seeks to synthesize and critically evaluate current knowledge besides to identify any comprehension gaps in the concurrent administration of prescription drugs with food and herbs. By achieving a better understanding of this topic, this information will allow healthcare professionals to develop useful strategies to recognize, manage, and prevent these types of pharmacological interactions at different age stages, including pregnant/lactating women.

The Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetics of Sildenafil after Single Administration of a Sublingual Testosterone and Oral Sildenafil Combination Tablet in Healthy Female Subjects. J Sex Med 2019; 16:1433-1443.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Female sexual interest/arousal disorder (FSIAD) affects many women worldwide, but pharmacological treatment options are scarce. A new medicine being developed for FSIAD is an on-demand, dual-route, dual-release drug combination product containing 0.5 mg testosterone (T) and 50 mg sildenafil (S), referred to here as T+S. AIM The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a fed and a fasted state on the pharmacokinetics of sildenafil following administration of T+S. METHODS Eighteen healthy women were administered T+S under fed and fasted conditions during 2 separate overnight visits in this randomized, open-label, balanced, 2-period, 2-treatment, 2-sequence crossover study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil and its active metabolite N-desmethyl sildenafil were determined over a 24-hour period. Total testosterone was assessed only at a limited number of time points for quality purposes, as sublingual uptake is not expected to be affected by food intake. RESULTS The observed geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals of sildenafil were not all contained within the prespecified bounds (0.80, 1.25). The GMR (90% CI) for plasma AUC0-last was 1.2753 (0.9706-1.6755); for AUC0-14h, it was 1.7521 (1.0819-2.8374); and for Cmax, it was 1.5591 (0.8634-2.8153). Only lower limits of the CIs fell within the bounds. For N-desmethyl sildenafil, the GMR (90% CI) for AUC0-last was 0.8437 (0.6738-1.0564); for AUC0-10h, it was 1.0847 (0.7648-1.5383); and for Cmax, it was 1.0083 (0.6638-1.5318). Only the GMRs were contained within bounds. No differences were observed between plasma testosterone Cmax and Tmax under fed and fasted conditions, which is in line with expectations for a sublingual administration. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The T+S combination tablet ruptures too late when taken in a fasted state and should therefore not be taken on an empty stomach. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS This is a well-controlled study that provides important insights into the performance characteristics of the delayed-release coating of the combination tablet. The higher variability of the pharmacokinetic parameters in the fasted state was caused by severely delayed rupture in one-third of the women. A reason for this is proposed but the present data do not explain this phenomenon. CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil from this modified-release tablet are more robust under fed conditions as compared to the artificial fasted condition where no food is consumed 10 hours prior to and 4 hours after dosing. The dosing situation under the tested fasting condition does not represent the expected common use of this product. Patients should, however, be instructed not to take the tablet on an empty stomach.

Abstract
Adherence to drug regimens is critical to optimise therapeutic outcomes. To aid adherence patient preferences must be discussed when considering the timing of doses, especially for chronic therapy The appropriate timing of administration should maximise therapeutic effects and minimise adverse reactions. If possible, doses should fit with the patient’s daily routines Check if drug absorption is affected by meals. Food may increase or decrease absorption, and may also improve gastric tolerance Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are usually taken with food. For patients with acute pain, administration without food may be acceptable The best time to take antihypertensive drugs is uncertain. Chronotherapy studies may clarify any influence of evening or morning doses on clinical outcomes

Abstract
PURPOSE Lusutrombopag is a novel, orally active thrombopoietin receptor agonist. This report describes 3 studies aimed at assessing the effects of food and calcium carbonate on the pharmacokinetic parameters of lusutrombopag in healthy subjects. METHODS Three single-dose, open-label crossover studies were conducted. In study 1, eighteen healthy subjects were administered a single 2-mg dose of lusutrombopag as a single tablet in the fasted or fed state or as a 2-mg solution in the fasted state. In study 2, fifteen healthy subjects were administered a single 0.75-mg dose of lusutrombopag as three 0.25-mg tablets in the fasted or fed state, or in the fasted state with coadministration of 4000-mg calcium carbonate. In study 3, fifteen healthy subjects were administered 4-mg lusutrombopag as a single tablet in the fasted or fed state. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated from plasma lusutrombopag concentrations. FINDINGS Mean fed versus fasted state ratios (90% CIs) of Cmax and AUC0-∞, respectively, were: 0.904 (0.864-0.945) and 0.920 (0.886-0.956) (study 1); 0.972 (0.864-1.09) and 1.02 (0.945-1.11) (study 2); and 0.917 (0.842-0.999) and 0.908 (0.855-0.964) (study 3). The respective ratios for calcium carbonate versus no calcium carbonate (fasted state) were 1.08 (0.959-1.21) and 0.989 (0.913-1.07) (study 2). Lusutrombopag exposure remained unaffected, except for a slight decrease in exposure with food. Lusutrombopag exposure did not change with the coadministration of calcium carbonate. These findings suggest that there was no clinically significant effect of food or calcium carbonate on the bioavailability of lusutrombopag. Each treatment regimen was well tolerated. IMPLICATIONS According to the present findings, no specific restrictions are required for lusutrombopag administration with regard to meals (including those with dairy products), mineral supplements, or coadministration of antacids.

Abstract
The effects of food and gender on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in healthy Chinese subjects were investigated from 4 bioequivalence studies. These studies were designed as randomized, open-label, and 2-period crossover in both fasting and fed states. A total of 204 subjects were enrolled, 134 men and 70 women. These subjects received a single oral 10-mg dose of rosuvastatin with a 7-day washout between 2 periods. The plasma concentrations were determined using a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental methods. Compared with the fasting condition, administration after a high-fat and high-calorie meal resulted in an approximately 40% reduction of rosuvastatin exposure and a near 50% decrease in absorption rate. Moreover, the apparent clearance was significantly greater in the fed state than that in the fasting state. It was noted that the adverse events incidence is increased by approximately 30% in the fasting state; however, no serious adverse events were observed. Additionally, small differences in pharmacokinetic characteristics were found between male and female subjects. Food effect might be considered for optimal effectiveness and safety of rosuvastatin therapy.

Food Bioactive Compounds and Their Interference in Drug Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Profiles. Pharmaceutics 2018; 10:pharmaceutics10040277. [PMID: 30558213 PMCID: PMC6321138 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics10040277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2018] [Revised: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 12/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that many food molecules could interact with drug transporters and metabolizing enzymes through different mechanisms, which are predictive of what would be observed clinically. Given the recent incorporation of dietary modifications or supplements in traditional medicine, an increase in potential food-drug interactions has also appeared. The objective of this article is to review data regarding the influence of food on drug efficacy. Data from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases was reviewed for publications on pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic mechanisms. The following online resources were used to integrate functional and bioinformatic results: FooDB, Phenol-Explorer, Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases, DrugBank, UniProt, and IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology. A wide range of food compounds were shown to interact with proteins involved in drug pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles, starting from drug oral bioavailability to enteric/hepatic transport and metabolism, blood transport, and systemic transport/metabolism. Knowledge of any food components that may interfere with drug efficacy is essential, and would provide a link for obtaining a holistic view for cancer, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, or neurological therapies. However, preclinical interaction may be irrelevant to clinical interaction, and health professionals should be aware of the limitations if they intend to optimize the therapeutic effects of drugs.
