Influence of konjac glucomannan and its derivatives on the oral pharmacokinetics of antimicrobial agent in antibiotics cocktails: Keep vigilant on dietary fiber supplement. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 251:126306. [PMID: 37573922 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
In this study, konjac glucomannan (KGM) and its derivatives were gavaged as dietary fiber supplements, followed by a single dose of antibiotic cocktail (Abx) containing amoxicillin, neomycin, metronidazole and vancomycin in mice. The effects of dietary fiber on the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of each antibiotic were investigated. The results showed that the specific effects of KGM and its derivatives on the absorption, distribution, and elimination of certain antibiotics varied and depended on the nature of the fibers and the characteristics of the antibiotics. Explicitly, the ingestion of KGM and its derivatives enhanced the absorption of metronidazole by 1.7 times and hindered that of amoxicillin by nearly 36 % without affecting the absorption of neomycin sulfate and vancomycin. KGM and its derivatives had no effect on the distribution of amoxicillin and metronidazole, but DKGM and KGM hindered the distributions of neomycin sulfate (from 1.25 h to 1.62 h) and vancomycin (from 0.95 h to 1.14 h), respectively. KGM and its derivatives promoted the elimination of amoxicillin by nearly 38 % while prolonging that of metronidazole by >50 %. KOGM boosted the elimination of neomycin sulfate and vancomycin, but KGM differed from DKGM in acting on the elimination of both.

Abstract
Background Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic agent frequently used in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this study, we have investigated the influence of the dietary fiber Plantago ovata husk on the pharmacokinetics of this drug when included in the diet, as well as when administered at the same time as metformin. Methods Six groups of 6 rabbits were used. Groups 1 to 3 were fed with standard chow and groups 4 to 6 with chow supplemented with fiber (3.5 mg/kg/day). Groups 1 and 4 received metformin intravenously (30 mg/kg). Groups 2 and 5 received metfomin orally (30 mg/kg), and number 3 and 6 were treated orally with metformin (30 mg/kg) and fiber (300 mg/kg). Results The changes caused by the inclusion of fiber in the feeding were more important in groups that received oral metformin. In this way, metformin oral bioavailability showed an increase of 34.42% when rabbits were fed with supplemented chow. Conclusions Plantago ovata husk increased the amount of absorbed metformin when included in the diet (significant increase in AUC), and delayed its absorption when administered at the same time (significant increase in tmax).

Abstract
Red ginseng (RG) is one of the top selling herbal medicines in Korea, but is not recommended in hypertensive patients. In this study, the pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between RG and losartan, an antihypertensive drug, was examined. RG was orally administered for 2 wk to male Sprague-Dawley (S-D) rats at either control (0), 0.5, 1, or 2 g/kg/d for 2 wk. After the last administration of RG and 30 min later, all animals were treated with 10 mg/kg losartan by oral route. In addition, some S-D rats were administered RG orally for 21 d at 2 g/kg followed by losartan intravenously (iv) at 10 mg/kg/d. Post losartan administration, plasma samples were collected at 5, 15, and 30 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Plasma concentrations of losartan and E-3174, the active metabolite of losartan, were analyzed by a high-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer system (LC-MS/MS). Oral losartan administration showed dose-dependent pharmacokinetics (PK) increase with time to maximum plasma, but this was not significant between different groups. There was no significant change in tmax with E-3174 PK. With iv losartan, pharmacokinetics showed elevation of area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinitity. There was not a significant change in AUCinf with E-3174 PK. Therefore, RG appeared to interfere with biotransformation of losartan, as RG exerted no marked effect on E-3174 PK in S-D rats. Data demonstrated that oral or iv treatment with losartan in rats pretreated with RG for 2 wk showed that losartan PK was affected but E-3174 PK remained unchanged among different dose groups. These results suggested that RG induces negligible influence on losartan and E-3174 PK in rats.

Abstract
Red ginseng (RG) is the top-selling functional food in Korea, but is not recommended for use in hypertensive patients. This study was performed to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between RG and amlodipine, an antihypertensive drug. RG (0, 0.5, 1, or 2 g/kg/d) was administered orally for 2 wk, and then amlodipine (10 mg/kg) was given orally, to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Blood was collected at 0.08, 0.25, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after amlodipine administration. In intravenous (iv) study, RG (0, 1, or 2 g/kg/d) was administered orally to SD rats for 2 wk, followed by amlodipine (2 mg/kg) intravenously (iv). Plasma concentrations of amlodipine were analyzed using a high-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass system (LC-MS/MS). Oral administration of amlodipine produced an increase of time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax: 2.6, 4.1, 8.3, and 8.9 h at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg/d, respectively), and a decrease of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax: 278.5, 212.4, 232.1, and 238.7 ng/ml at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg/d, respectively.). However, the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 24 h measurable concentration (AUC0-24 h was 3487.4, 2895.4, 3158.2, and 3495 ng/h/ml at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg/d respectively) was not significantly changed among the different dose groups. Administration of amlodipine iv produced no significant changes in the apparent terminal half-life, volume of distribution, and AUC0-24 hr among the different dose groups. These results suggest that RG induced negligible influence on amlodipine pharmacokinetically in rats.

Abstract
Drugs have the potential to interact with nutrients potentially leading to reduced therapeutic efficacy of the drug, nutritional risk or increased adverse effects of the drug. Despite significant interest in such interactions going back to over more than 40 years, the occurrence and clinical significance of many drug–nutrient interactions remains unclear. However, interactions involving drugs with a narrow therapeutic margin such as theophylline and digoxin and those that require careful blood monitoring such as warfarin are likely to be those of clinical significance. Drugs can affect nutrition as a result of changes in appetite and taste as well as having an influence on absorption or metabolism of nutrients. Moreover, foods and supplements can also interact with drugs, of which grapefruit juice and St John's wort are key examples. Significant numbers of people take both supplements and medication and are potentially at risk from interactions. Professionals, such as pharmacists, dietitians, nurses and doctors, responsible for the care of patients should therefore check whether supplements are being taken, while for researchers this is an area worthy of significant further study, particularly in the context of increasingly complex drug regimens and the plethora of new drugs.

Abstract
Interventions to combat mild Fe deficiency in women of childbearing age may affect Zn nutriture. We used dietary and laboratory indices to assess change in Zn status during a 4-month partially blinded placebo-controlled Fe intervention in women with low Fe stores (serum ferritin < 20 μg/l and Hb ≥ 120 g/l) from Dunedin, New Zealand. Subjects aged 18–40 years were randomly assigned to three groups: dietary advice (diet group; DG;n29), daily Fe supplement with meals (supplement group; SG;n23; 50 mg Fe as amino acid chelate) and placebo (placebo group; PG,n26). A validated semi-quantitative FFQ (SFFQ) was administered at baseline, and at 4, 8 and 15 weeks; fasting morning blood samples were assayed for serum Zn, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and C-reactive protein at baseline, and at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks; hair Zn and taste detection thresholds by electrogustometry were measured at baseline and at 16 weeks. Intakes of flesh foods and vitamin C but not Zn or Fe increased, whereas phytate and phytate:Zn molar ratios decreased (allP ≤ 0·01) in the DG compared with the PG and SG, based on three SFFQ. Serum Zn increased in both the DG and PG (adjusted,P ≤ 0·002), so the between-group difference was not significant; the lack of a parallel rise in the SG was significant when compared with the PG (P = 0·02). ALP activity (but not hair Zn or taste acuity) followed a similar trend. In conclusion, Zn status was not improved compared with placebo by an Fe-based dietary intervention. However, a daily moderate-dose Fe supplement with meals appeared to lower Zn status in these young adult women.

Abstract
Interethnic variability in pharmacokinetics can cause unexpected outcomes such as therapeutic failure, adverse effects, and toxicity in subjects of different ethnic origin undergoing medical treatment. It is important to realize that both genetic and environmental factors can lead to these differences among ethnic groups. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) published a guidance to facilitate the registration of drugs among ICH regions (European Union, Japan, the United States) by recommending a framework for evaluating the impact of ethnic factors on a drug's effect, as well as its efficacy and safety at a particular dosage and dosage regimen. This review focuses on the pharmacokinetic differences between East Asians and Caucasians. Differences in metabolism between East Asians and Caucasians are common, especially in the activity of several phase I enzymes such as CYP2D6 and the CYP2C subfamily. Before drug therapy, identification of either the genotype and/or the phenotype for these enzymes may be of therapeutic value, particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index. Furthermore, these differences are relevant for international drug approval when regulatory agencies must decide if they accept results from clinical trials performed in other parts of the world.

Abstract
PURPOSE The measurement of prescription medication use is usually through a simple count of medications, which tends to ignore therapeutic categories. This research investigated prescription medication use among homebound older adults, by documenting the therapeutic prescription medication categories used by these individuals and identifying the factors associated with use of multiple therapeutic categories. METHODS Baseline Nutrition and Function Study (2000-2001) data from 326 homebound older persons who completed the medication review component (visual inspection of medications) of the baseline in-home interview and used > or =1 prescribed medication were included in this analysis. RESULTS More than 40% (n = 133) regularly took medications from three to four different therapeutic categories and 31.6% (n = 103) used > or =5 different therapeutic categories. The use of respiratory medications declined with increasing age, and more women than men used diuretic and thyroid replacement medications. Independent of other factors, increased use of multiple therapeutic categories was associated with sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age, living arrangement, marital status and medication coverage), medical conditions (diabetes, heart problems and lung disease) and inability to self-manage medications. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that individual characteristics and medical conditions may help identify homebound elders at high risk for using prescription medications from an increased number of different therapeutic categories. This observation may help clinicians and community-based providers of services to older persons to be aware of differences in therapeutic medication use within an older population, and how patterns of use may alter service needs.

Abstract
The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E5 guidelines were developed to provide a general framework for evaluating the potential impact of ethnic factors on the acceptability of foreign clinical data, with the underlying objective to facilitate global drug development and registration. It is well recognized that all drugs exhibit significant inter-subject variability in pharmacokinetics and pharmacologic response and that such differences vary considerably among individual drugs and depend on a variety of factors. One such potential factor involves ethnicity. The objective of the present work was to perform an extensive review of the world literature on ethnic differences in drug disposition and responsiveness to determine their general significance in relation to drug development and registration. A few examples of suspected ethnic differences in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics were identified. The available literature, however, was found to be heterologous, including a variety of study designs and research methodologies, and most of the publications were on drugs that were approved a long time ago.

Abstract
A dieta influencia todos os estágios do ciclo da vida, fornecendo nutrientes necessários ao sustento do corpo humano. Alterações de ordem funcional e/ou estrutural, provocadas por doenças e infecções agudas ou crônicas, levam à utilização de medicamentos, cujo objetivo é restaurar a saúde. A via preferencial escolhida para a sua administração é a oral, entre outras razões, por sua comodidade e segurança. O fenômeno de interação fármaco-nutriente pode surgir antes ou durante a absorção gastrintestinal, durante a distribuição e armazenamento nos tecidos, no processo de biotransformação ou mesmo durante a excreção. Assim, é de importância fundamental conhecer os fármacos cuja velocidade de absorção e/ou quantidade absorvida podem ser afetadas na presença de alimentos, bem como aqueles que não são afetados. Por outro lado, muitos deles, incluindo antibióticos, antiácidos e laxativos podem causar má absorção de nutrientes. Portanto, o objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma revisão dos diversos aspectos envolvidos na interação fármaco-nutriente.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Enteral nutrition support via a feeding tube is the first choice for artificial nutrition. Most patients also require simultaneous drug therapy, with the potential risk for drug-nutrient interactions which may become relevant in clinical practice. During enteral nutrition, drug-nutrient interactions are more likely to occur than in patients fed orally. However, there is a lack of awareness about its clinical significance, which should be recognised and prevented in order to optimise nutritional and pharmacological therapeutic goals of safety and efficacy. LEARNING OBJECTIVES To raise the awareness of potential drug-nutrient interactions and influence on clinical outcomes. To identify factors that can promote drug-nutrient interactions and contribute to nutrition and/or therapeutic failure. To be aware of different types of drug-nutrient interactions. To understand complex underlying mechanisms responsible for drug-nutrient interactions. To learn basic rules for the administration of medications during tube-feeding.

Abstract
Indinavir sulfate is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitor indicated for treatment of HIV infection and AIDS in adults. The purpose of this report is to summarize single-dose studies which characterized the pharmacokinetics of the drug and the effect of food in healthy volunteers. Indinavir concentrations in plasma and urine were obtained by high-pressure liquid chromatography and UV detection assay methods. The results indicate that indinavir was rapidly absorbed in the fasting state, with the time to the maximum concentration in plasma occurring at approximately 0.8 h for all doses studied. Over the 40- to 1,000-mg dose range studied, concentrations in plasma and urinary excretion of unchanged drug increased greater than dose proportionally. The nonlinear pharmacokinetics were attributed to the dose-dependent oxidative metabolism of first-pass metabolism as well as to metabolism in the systemic circulation. Renal clearance slightly exceeded the glomerular filtration rate, suggesting a net tubular secretion component. At high concentrations in plasma, tubular secretion appeared to be lowered because there was a trend for a decreased renal clearance. Administration of 400 mg of indinavir sulfate following a high-fat breakfast resulted in a blunted and decreased absorption (areas under the concentration-time curves [AUCs], 6.86 microM.h in the fasted state versus 1.54 microM.h in the fed state; n = 10). However, two types of low-fat meals were found to have no significant effect on the absorption of 800 mg of indinavir sulfate (AUCs, 23.15 microM.h in the fasted state versus 22.71 and 21.36 microM.h, respectively, in the fed state; n = 11). Immediately following dosing, the concentrations of indinavir in urine often exceeded its intrinsic solubility. To reduce the risk of nephrolithiasis, it is recommended that indinavir sulfate be administered with water.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to make a systematic registration of a group of 354 social care indigent patients in relation to: their pharmaceutical needs: the conditions for which it was prescribed, its cost, and details of prescriptions. In addition patients' eating patterns relating to and knowledge of how to use their medication was assessed. They were compared to a control group of 153 Social Security patients. SUBJECTS The Social Care indigent patients were of low income, consisting of groups as unmarried mothers with their children and Greeks emigrants coming back home from other countries (Albania, Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Romania etc.). The socio-demographic profiles of this group reveal an unemployment rate of 74% and an illiteracy rate of 18%. As regards marital status, 20% are bachelors and 12% divorcees. RESULTS The results of the study indicated no significant difference between the two groups in the mean cost of prescription (40 ECU for Social Care patients vs 32 ECU for Social Security patients), in the mean number of medication per prescription (2.6 vs 2.6 respectively), in the percentages of the Daily Defined Doses and the cost of the various categories of drugs. For both groups, the most common drugs were those of the Cardiovascular system (30% vs 26%), Gastrointestinal system (17% vs 27%) and Nervous system (16% vs 18%). The most common diagnosis was Hypertension (10% vs 8%) and the most common drugs were Ranitidine (3% vs 2%), Diclofenac (3% vs 3%), Salbutamol (3% vs 3%) and Paracetamol (2% vs 2%). Significant differences between Social Care patients to Social Security patients respectively were found regarding: knowing how to take their medication correctly (47% vs 77%), knowing for how long treatment needed to be taken (21% vs 43%), requesting information from the pharmacist (39% vs 68%) knowledge of dietary instructions regarding medication (17% vs 41%) and in smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day (15% vs 3%).
