JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 313:116589. [PMID: 37142149 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Perilla Folium (PF), is a traditional medicinal material with the homology of medicine and food in China and has been widely used due to its rich nutritional content and medicinal value. The hepatoprotective effects of PF extract include their protection against acute hepatic injury, tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) induced oxidative damage, and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (D-GalN) induced hepatic injury have been well studied. However, there are few reports on the pharmacokinetics studies of PF extract in acute hepatic injury model rats, and the anti-hepatic injury activity of PF is still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY The differences in the plasma pharmacokinetic of 21 active compounds between the normal and model groups were compared, and established pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) modeling was to analyze the hepatoprotective effects of PF. MATERIALS AND METHODS The acute hepatic injury model was induced with an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (D-GalN), and the plasma pharmacokinetics of 21 active compounds of PF were analyzed in the normal and model groups using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The correlation between plasma components and hepatoprotective effects indicators (the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)) in the model group was also investigated and established a Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) correlation analysis of the hepatoprotective effects of PF. RESULTS The results revealed that organic acid compounds possessed the characteristics of faster absorption, shorter peak time and slower metabolism, while the flavonoid compounds had slower absorption and longer peak time, and the pharmacokinetics of various components were significantly affected after modeling. The results of PK/PD modeling analysis demonstrated that the plasma drug concentration of each component existed a good correlation with the three AST, ALT, and LDH, and the lag time of the efficacy of each component is relatively long. CONCLUSIONS The plasma drug concentration of each component existed a good correlation with the three AST, ALT, and LDH, and the lag time of the efficacy of each component is relatively long in vivo.

Clin Pharmacol Ther 2022; 112:1329-1339.

Abstract
Model-informed dose selection has been drawing increasing interest in oncology early clinical development. The current paper describes the example of FGF401, a selective fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) inhibitor, in which a comprehensive modeling and simulation (M&S) framework, using both pharmacometrics and statistical methods, was established during its first-in-human clinical development using the totality of pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers, and safety and efficacy data in patients with cancer. These M&S results were used to inform FGF401 dose selection for future development. A two-compartment population PK (PopPK) model with a delayed 0-order absorption and linear elimination adequately described FGF401 PK. Indirect PopPK/PD models including a precursor compartment were independently established for two biomarkers: circulating FGF19 and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4). Model simulations indicated a close-to-maximal PD effect achieved at the clinical exposure range. Time-to-progression was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method which favored a trough concentration (Ctrough )-driven efficacy requiring Ctrough above a threshold close to the drug concentration producing 90% inhibition of phospho-FGFR4. Clinical tumor growth inhibition was described by a PopPK/PD model that reproduced the dose-dependent effect on tumor growth. Exposure-safety analyses on the expected on-target adverse events, including elevation of aspartate aminotransferase and diarrhea, indicated a lack of clinically relevant relationship with FGF401 exposure. Simulations from an indirect PopPK/PD model established for alanine aminotransferase, including a chain of three precursor compartments, further supported that maximal target inhibition was achieved and there was a lack of safety-exposure relationship. This M&S framework supported a dose selection of 120 mg once daily fasted or with a low-fat meal and provides a practical example that might be applied broadly in oncology early clinical development.

Abstract
An ever-increasing demand for novel antimicrobials to treat life-threatening infections caused by the global spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens stands in stark contrast to the current level of investment in their development, particularly in the fields of natural-product-derived and synthetic small molecules. New agents displaying innovative chemistry and modes of action are desperately needed worldwide to tackle the public health menace posed by antimicrobial resistance. Here, our consortium presents a strategic blueprint to substantially improve our ability to discover and develop new antibiotics. We propose both short-term and long-term solutions to overcome the most urgent limitations in the various sectors of research and funding, aiming to bridge the gap between academic, industrial and political stakeholders, and to unite interdisciplinary expertise in order to efficiently fuel the translational pipeline for the benefit of future generations.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling has emerged as a major tool in clinical pharmacology to optimize drug use by designing rational dosage forms and dosage regimes. Quantitative representation of the dose-concentration-response relationship should provide information for the prediction of the level of response to a certain level of drug dose. This paper describes the experimental details of the preformulation study, tablet manufacture, optimization, and bioanalytical methods for the estimation of dexibuprofen in human plasma. The hydrophilic matrix was prepared with xanthen gum with additives Avicel PH 102. The effect of the concentration of the polymer and different filler, on the in vitro drug release, was studied. Various pharmacokinetic parameters including AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, and elimination rate constant (Kel) were determined from the plasma concentration of both formulations of test (dexibuprofen 300 mg) and reference (dexibuprofen 300 mg tablets). The merits of PK-PD in the development of dosage forms and how PK-PD model development necessitates the development of new drugs and bio analytical method development and validation are discussed. The objectives of the present study, namely, to develop and validate the methods to estimate the selected drugs in the biological fluids by HPLC, the development of in vitro dissolution methods, and PK-PD model development have been described.

Abstract
The application of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling in drug development has emerged during the past decades and it is has been suggested that the investigation of PK-PD relationships during drug development may facilitate and optimize the design of subsequent clinical development. Especially in oncology, well designed PK-PD modeling could be extremely useful as anticancer agents usually have a very narrow therapeutic index. This paper describes the application of the current insights in the use of PK-PD modeling to the design of clinical trials in oncology. The application of PK-PD modeling in each separate stage of (pre)clinical drug development of anticancer agents is discussed. The implementation of this approach is illustrated with the clinical development of docetaxel.

Abstract
In the quest of ways for rationalizing and accelerating drug product development, integrated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) concepts provide a highly promising tool. PK/PD modeling concepts can be applied in all stages of preclinical and clinical drug development, and their benefits are multifold. At the preclinical stage, potential applications might comprise the evaluation of in vivo potency and intrinsic activity, the identification of bio-/surrogate markers, as well as dosage form and regimen selection and optimization. At the clinical stage, analytical PK/PD applications include characterization of the dose-concentration-effect/toxicity relationship, evaluation of food, age and gender effects, drug/drug and drug/disease interactions, tolerance development, and inter- and intraindividual variability in response. Predictive PK/PD applications can also involve extrapolation from preclinical data, simulation of drug responses, as well as clinical trial forecasting. Rigorous implementation of the PK/PD concepts in drug product development provides a rationale, scientifically based framework for efficient decision making regarding the selection of potential drug candidates, for maximum information gain from the performed experiments and studies, and for conducting fewer, more focused clinical trials with improved efficiency and cost effectiveness. Thus, PK/PD concepts are believed to play a pivotal role in streamlining the drug development process of the future.

Abstract
Although the use of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling and simulation (M&S) in drug development has increased during the last decade, this has most notably occurred in patient studies using the population approach. The role of M&S in Phase I, although of longer history, does not presently have the same impact on drug development. However, trends such as the increased use of biomarkers and clinical trial simulation as well as adoption of the learn/confirm concept can be expected to increase the importance of modelling in Phase I. To help identify the role of M&S, its main advantages and the obstacles to its rational use, an expert meeting was organised by COST B15 in Brussels, January 10-11, 2000. This article presents the views expressed at that meeting. Although it is clear that M&S occurs in only a minority of Phase I clinical trials, it is used for a large number of different purposes. In particular, M&S is considered valuable in the following situations: censoring because of assay limitation, characterisation of non-linearity, estimating exposure-response relationship, combined analyses, sparse sampling studies, special population studies, integrating PK/PD knowledge for decision making, simulation of Phase II trials, predicting multiple dose profile from single dose, bridging studies and formulation development. One or more of the following characteristics of M&S activities are often present and severely impede its successful integration into clinical drug development: lack of trained personnel, lack of protocol and/or analysis plan, absence of pre-specified objectives, no timelines or budget, low priority, inadequate reporting, no quality assurance of the modelling process and no evaluation of cost-benefit. The early clinical drug development phase is changing and if these implementation aspects can be appropriately addressed, M&S can fulfill an important role in reshaping the early trials by more effective extraction of information from studies, better integration of knowledge across studies and more precise predictions of trial outcome, thereby allowing more informed decision making.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of NN703, a growth hormone (GH)-releasing secretagogue, after po administration to healthy human male subjects. The study was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalating, single-dose trial of NN703 covering eight dose levels. Each of the dose levels had 6 subjects on active treatment and 2 subjects on placebo. NN703 was administered po as a solution. Blood samples for serum concentrations of NN703 and GH were collected before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing. Serum concentrations of NN703 were determined using a validated analytical method, based on solid-phase extraction and LC/MS/MS detection. A two-compartmental model with zero-order input was used to describe the pharmacokinetics of NN703. The parameters of the elimination phase were fitted simultaneously, whereas the parameters describing the absorption phase were allowed to vary between the dose levels. The pharmacodynamics of NN703 was described by use of an indirect-response model containing both a threshold value and a modulator for the development of tolerance. It was concluded that the absorption of NN703 after po administration was nonlinear; the bioavailability increased with the dose. The serum concentration of NN703 required for half-maximal stimulation of GH was determined to be 485 ng/ml. The proposed indirect-response model requiring a threshold concentration and development of tolerance provided a useful mean of quantifying the effects of NN703. Furthermore, the development of tolerance shown based on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling of single-dose data presented here has been confirmed following multiple dosing in healthy male subjects.

Abstract
At present, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling has emerged as a major tool in clinical pharmacology to optimize drug use by designing rational dosage forms and dosage regimes. Quantitative representation of the dose-concentration-response relationship should provide information for prediction of the level of response to a certain level of drug dose. Several mathematical approaches can be used to describe such relationships, depending on the single dose or the steady-state measurements carried out. With concentration and response data on-phase, basic models such as fixed-effect, linear, log-linear, E(MAX), and sigmoid E(MAX) can be sufficient. However, time-variant pharmacodynamic models (effect compartment, acute tolerance, sensitization, and indirect responses) can be required when kinetics and response are out-of-phase. To date, methodologies available for PK-PD analysis barely suppose the use of powerful computing resources. Some of these algorithms are able to generate individual estimates of parameters based on population analysis and Bayesian forecasting. Notwithstanding, attention must be paid to avoid overinterpreted data from mathematical models, so that reliability and clinical significance of estimated parameters will be valuable when underlying physiologic processes (disease, age, gender, etc.) are considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a model for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) that can be applied in a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model. METHODS Four different data sets were prepared from 2 studies to accommodate different modeling strategies. In study A, a double-blind placebo-controlled study in 47 patients, 24-hour ABPM profiles (74 to 99 measurements per profile) were obtained during the placebo run-in phase and after 3, 5, and 11 weeks during the treatment. Three to 5 plasma samples were taken. Cosine and polynomial models were evaluated to describe the circadian rhythm in blood pressure based on 3 data sets (1: only run-in data; 2: only placebo data; 3: all data). In study B, a double-blind placebo-controlled study in 94 patients, two 24-hour ABPM profiles per patient (during placebo run-in and after 8 weeks) were recorded and randomly reduced to 15 measurements per profile to evaluate the robustness of the baseline model. RESULTS The mean moxonidine clearance was 35 L/h, and the volume of distribution was 132 L. The final baseline model consisted of 2 cosine terms with fixed-effect parameters for rhythm-adjusted 24-hour mean blood pressure, amplitude, phase, and period; random-effect parameters for interindividual variability in rhythm-adjusted 24-hour mean, amplitude, and clock time; and interoccasion variability in rhythm-adjusted 24-hour mean and clock time. The final baseline model was combined with an Emax model for the drug effect. An effect compartment was used (kco = 0.198 h-1). The maximum decrease in diastolic blood pressure (Emax) was 16.7%, and EC50 was 0.945 microgram/L. CONCLUSION The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model for 24-hour ABPM can be used to estimate the concentration-effect relationship of antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract
Population pharmacokinetics can be defined as a study of the basic features of drug disposition in a population, accounting for the influence of diverse pathophysiological factors on pharmacokinetics, and explicitly estimating the magnitude of the interindividual and intraindividual variability. It is used to identify subpopulations of individuals that may present with differences in drug kinetics or in kinetic/dynamic responses. Rooted in procedures used in engineering systems, population pharmacokinetics methods were conceived as a means to determine the pharmacokinetic profile in populations in which a sparse number of samples were obtained per individual, such as those in late stage human clinical trials. This is the situation commonly encountered in all aspects of veterinary medicine. The exploratory nature of this technique allows one to probe relationships between clinical factors (such as age, gender, renal function, etc.) and drug disposition and/or effect. Similarly, the utilization of these techniques in the clinical research phases of drug development optimize the determination of efficacy and safety of drugs. Given the observational nature of most studies published so far, statistical methods to validate the population models are necessary. Simulation studies may be conducted to explore data collection designs that maximize information yield with a minimum expenditure of resources. The breadth of this approach has allowed population studies to be more commonly employed in all areas of drug therapy and clinical research. Finally, in veterinary medicine, there is an additional field in which population studies are potentially ideally suited: the application of this methodology to the study of tissue drug depletion and drug residues in production animals, and the establishment of withdrawal times tailored to the clinical or production conditions of populations or individuals. Such application would provide a major step toward assuring a safe food supply under a wide variety of dose and off-label clinical uses. Population pharmacokinetics is an ideal method for generating data in support of the implementation of flexible labelling policies and extralabel drug use recently approved under AMDUCA (Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act. 21 CFR Part 530).

Abstract
There is current emphasis for extended integration of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) into all phases of new drug development, including large-scale clinical trials. In this paper, we focus on study design and data analysis issues for the investigation of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and blood level/effect relationships in patients. The application of descriptive and model-based regression statistical methodology for including sparse drug systemic concentration data in the analysis of efficacy and safety is illustrated by examples chosen from diverse therapeutic areas. The population approach, based on mixed-effects modelling, is one such methodology, which also provides new tools for analysis of response vs dose and response vs time data. The existence of a variety of statistical techniques for handling complex PK/PD time-varying data should increase the impact of such data analysis on future drug development.
