Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with augmented thrombogenicity in healthy individuals: analysis using the Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System. Thromb J 2021; 19:88. [PMID: 34789279 PMCID: PMC8597268 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-021-00341-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent exposure of the subendothelial prothrombotic matrix to blood cause arterial thrombosis. Circulating platelets play an indispensable role in the growth of arterial thrombi partially owing to their unique ability to adhere to the subendothelial matrix and to aggregate to each other under flow conditions. Recently, the Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System (T-TAS) was developed for ex vivo analysis of the thrombogenic potential of whole blood samples under flow conditions. Despite the potential clinical utility of the T-TAS in assessing the risk for thrombosis and bleeding, reference intervals for T-TAS analysis in healthy individuals have not been determined. METHODS In total, 122 whole blood samples were collected from healthy volunteers ranging in age from 25 to 45 years. T-TAS analysis and hematological, physiological, and lifestyle assessments were conducted in these subjects. Whole blood samples anticoagulated with hirudin were perfused into a collagen-coated microchip (PL chip). The time to 10 kPa and the area under the flow pressure curve up to 10 min (AUC10) were analyzed as representative variables for thrombogenic potential. Reference intervals, which were defined as 2.5-97.5 percentiles, were determined. Additionally, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the AUC10 in the T-TAS. RESULTS The time to 10 kPa and the AUC10 widely varied, even in healthy volunteers. The reference intervals were 1.50-4.02 min and 223.4-456.8, respectively, at a shear rate of 1500 s- 1. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that platelet counts were most significantly associated with the AUC10 of the T-TAS. The presence of one or more cardiovascular risk factors of a high body mass index, a high pulse pressure, high fasting serum glucose levels, high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, a history of smoking, and no habitual exercise, had the second largest effect on the AUC10 of the T-TAS. CONCLUSIONS Healthy volunteers who had any cardiovascular risk factors showed augmented thrombogenicity, even in artificial uniform capillaries, compared with those without any risk factors in the T-TAS.

Effects of mild and moderate renal dysfunction on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of dotinurad: a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 24:17-24. [PMID: 31823130 PMCID: PMC7066277 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-019-01825-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Accepted: 11/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dotinurad, a novel selective urate reabsorption inhibitor, exerts a serum uric acid-lowering effect by selectively inhibiting urate transporter 1 (URAT1) in patients with hyperuricemia. It is generally known that the progression of renal dysfunction is associated with a reduction in the serum uric acid-lowering effects of uricosuric drugs. We, therefore, investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of dotinurad in subjects with renal dysfunction. METHODS This was a parallel-group, open-label, single-dose clinical pharmacology study. Dotinurad (1 mg) was administered once, orally to subjects with mild (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], ≥ 60 to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) or moderate (eGFR, ≥ 30 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) renal dysfunction or normal (eGFR, ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2) renal function. RESULTS The time-course of mean plasma concentration of dotinurad had similar profiles across the groups. Regarding PK, there was no significant difference between the renal dysfunction groups and normal renal function group. Regarding PD, the maximum reduction rate in serum uric acid levels and the fractional uric acid excretion (FE) ratio (FE0-24/FE-24-0) were significantly lower in the moderate renal dysfunction group than in the normal renal function group. However, other PD parameters were not significantly different among the groups. No notable adverse events or adverse drug reactions were observed in this study. CONCLUSION These results suggested that no dose adjustment might be necessary when administering dotinurad to patients with mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction.

AJM300, a novel oral antagonist of α4-integrin, sustains an increase in circulating lymphocytes: A randomised controlled trial in healthy male subjects. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 86:591-600. [PMID: 31658381 PMCID: PMC7080631 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.14151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2019] [Revised: 09/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims AJM300 is an oral antagonist of α4‐integrin that reduces inflammation by blocking leucocyte trafficking. This study aimed to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AJM300 in healthy male subjects. Methods A total of 23 subjects were randomised to receive 240 mg (n = 6), 480 mg (n = 5), 960 mg (n = 6) of AJM300 or the corresponding placebo (n = 2 per group). The study drugs were taken orally 3 times daily after each meal on the first day followed by a 4‐day washout period. Thereafter, multiple‐dose administration was conducted for 6 consecutive days. The pharmacokinetic parameters of AJM300 and its active metabolite (HCA2969) were assessed, and total white blood cells and the differential cell count were used to determine the pharmacodynamic effects. Adverse events (AEs) were also monitored. Results The plasma AJM300 and HCA2969 concentration–time curves displayed a triphasic pattern on Day 1 (single‐day administration) and Day 10 (last day of multiple dosing), whereas the concentration of HCA2969 was much higher than that of AJM300. A significant but transient increase in lymphocyte count was observed after AJM300 dosing at all dosages tested compared with the placebo. The increase was sustained over a 24‐h period only at the 960‐mg dosage. In particular, a significant increase in the lymphocyte count compared to placebo (mean, 50.58%; 95% confidence intervals, 20.40–80.76) was observed at the first 960‐mg dose on Day 10. Six (26.1%) subjects reported ≥1 AEs, all of which were mild and resolved spontaneously. Conclusion The maximal and 24‐h sustained pharmacodynamic effects were demonstrated at the 960‐mg dosage after oral administration of AJM300 3 times daily for 6 days, which was also found to be safe and well tolerated.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Carotegrast methyl, a novel prodrug, oral antagonist of α4-integrin, is in development for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis. This randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study evaluated the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as well as the safety profile after a single dose of carotegrast methyl in healthy male subjects. Methods Subjects were randomised to receive a single dose of carotegrast methyl (240, 480 or 960 mg) or placebo in a 6:2 ratio and received the study drug under both fed and fasted conditions separated by an 8-day washout. The pharmacokinetic profiles of carotegrast methyl and its active metabolite, carotegrast, were assessed. The pharmacodynamic profile was evaluated according to a change in the peripheral lymphocyte count. Safety was monitored throughout. Results Based on the area under the time curve from zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), food reduced systemic exposure to both carotegrast methyl and carotegrast by 21–57% and 5–29%, respectively. The fed-to-fasted ratio of least square means for the increase in the lymphocyte count was almost at unity in each dose, indicating no food effect on pharmacodynamics. The time ≥ 90% of maximum effect was prolonged dose dependently, suggesting that a 960 mg-dose can provide a long-lasting effect. Reported adverse events were all mild. Conclusions Despite the reduced systemic exposure to both carotegrast methyl and carotegrast, food had no effect on the increase in lymphocyte count. A single administration of carotegrast methyl up to 960 mg was found to be safe.

Pharmacokinetic study of lascufloxacin in non-elderly healthy men and elderly men. J Infect Chemother 2019; 26:231-239. [PMID: 31882385 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2019.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Revised: 08/30/2019] [Accepted: 09/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
We conducted this phase I clinical study to examine the pharmacokinetic profiles and safety of lascufloxacin (LSFX), a novel quinolone antibacterial agent, in non-elderly Japanese healthy men and the effects of aging on LSFX pharmacokinetics in elderly Japanese healthy men. 1. After single-dose oral administration of LSFX 100-800 mg (capsules) to six healthy adults in fasting state, the Cmax and AUClast roughly increased in proportion to the doses. 2. After multiple-dose oral administration of LSFX 75 mg (tablets) once daily for 7 days to six healthy adults, plasma LSFX reached the steady state by Day 7. The cumulative factor of LSFX on Day 7 to Day 1 was 1.65 for the Cmax and 1.96 for the AUCtau. 3. Regarding pharmacokinetic parameters of plasma LSFX after single-dose administration of LSFX 75 mg tablets (final product) to 24 healthy adults in fed state, the Cmax was somewhat higher, 1.28 times more than that in fasting state, whereas no changes were found in the AUClast. We therefore proposed that food effects of LSFX on absorption were negligible. 4. No clinically significant safety problems of LSFX were found in a series of studies involving healthy adults conducted this time. 5. After single-dose oral administration of LSFX 200 mg (capsules) to six elderly people in fasting state, its pharmacokinetic parameters were similar to those in non-elderly people, with no significant safety concerns. Therefore, adjustment of dosage and administration was considered to be unnecessary for LSFX administration to elderly individuals.

Relative and Absolute Bioavailability Study of Emicizumab to Bridge Drug Products and Subcutaneous Injection Sites in Healthy Volunteers. Clin Pharmacol Drug Dev 2018; 8:702-712. [PMID: 30230257 PMCID: PMC6767117 DOI: 10.1002/cpdd.617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Emicizumab (ACE910) is a bispecific antibody that is a novel, subcutaneously injectable treatment for patients with hemophilia A. This study assessed the relative bioavailability of emicizumab between old and new drug products (DPs) and among 3 commonly used subcutaneous injection sites (abdomen, upper arm, and thigh), together with its absolute bioavailability in healthy volunteers. Forty‐eight healthy volunteers were randomized into 4 groups to receive a single subcutaneous injection of 1 mg/kg with the old or new DP, and another 12 volunteers each received a single, 90‐minute, intravenous infusion of 0.25 mg/kg with the new DP. Similar pharmacokinetic profiles were observed between the DPs, with geometric mean ratios of 1.199 (90% confidence interval [CI] 1.060‐1.355) for the maximum plasma concentration and 1.083 (90% CI 0.920‐1.275) for area under the plasma concentration‐time curve extrapolated to infinity. The geometric mean ratios of maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration‐time curve extrapolated to infinity for upper arm versus abdomen were 0.823 (90% CI 0.718‐0.943) and 0.926 (90% CI 0.814‐1.053), respectively, and those for thigh versus abdomen were 1.168 (90% CI 1.030‐1.324) and 1.073 (90% CI 0.969‐1.189), respectively. Absolute bioavailability ranged from 80.4% to 93.1%. These results suggested that no emicizumab dose adjustment would be needed when switching the DPs or injecting to different sites interchangeably and that emicizumab injected subcutaneously is highly bioavailable.

Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Cefiderocol, a Novel Siderophore Cephalosporin for Gram-Negative Bacteria, in Healthy Subjects. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2018; 62:e02163-17. [PMID: 29311072 PMCID: PMC5826143 DOI: 10.1128/aac.02163-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2017] [Accepted: 12/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Cefiderocol is a novel parenteral siderophore cephalosporin that shows potent efficacy against various Gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant strains, in vitro and in preclinical models of infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of cefiderocol after both single and multiple dosing by intravenous infusion over 60 min in healthy adult subjects. A single-ascending-dose study at doses of 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg was conducted in 40 healthy Japanese males and females (6 individuals receiving the active drug and 2 individuals receiving a placebo per cohort). A multiple-ascending-dose study at doses of 1,000 (two groups) and 2,000 mg every 8 h (q8h) was conducted in 30 healthy Japanese and Caucasian males (8 individuals receiving the active drug and 2 individuals receiving a placebo per cohort). There were no serious or clinically significant adverse events (AEs) observed in either study. A single subject receiving 1,000 mg cefiderocol q8h was withdrawn due to AEs. Dose-proportional increases in the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration after dosing, and the area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated from time zero to infinity were observed across the dose range of 100 to 2,000 mg. The mean plasma half-life of cefiderocol was 1.98 to 2.74 h. Cefiderocol was primarily excreted unchanged in the urine (61.5% to 68.4% of the dose). There was little accumulation of Cmax and AUC by dosing q8h, and the PK of cefiderocol did not change with multiple dosing. This study indicates that single and multiple intravenous doses of cefiderocol at up to 2,000 mg are well tolerated in healthy subjects and exhibit linear PK at doses up to 2,000 mg.

Abstract
Abstract
Tofogliflozin is a selective oral inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of tofogliflozin were investigated in healthy male subjects.
Three studies were conducted: single-ascending dose study (10–640 mg) in 56 Japanese and 24 Caucasian subjects; multiple-ascending dose study (2.5–80 mg once daily for 7 days) in 24 Japanese subjects; and food-effect study (20–40 mg) in 30 Japanese subjects.
Tofogliflozin was absorbed rapidly and eliminated from the systemic circulation with a t1/2 of 5–6 h. Exposure increased dose-proportionally up to 320 mg. Body weight-corrected exposure was similar between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Urinary excretion of tofogliflozin ranged from 17.1 to 27.4% of dose. Tofogliflozin did not accumulate with once daily administration. Food intake decreased Cmax by approximately 30% but did not change AUC0-inf. Tofogliflozin caused dose-dependent daily urinary glucose excretion (UGE0-24h), but food intake condition at administration did not affect it. The exposure-response relationship between plasma average concentration of tofogliflozin (Cavg) and UGE0-24h fitted Emax model well. There were no serious adverse events leading to discontinuation or episodes of hypoglycemia.
Single and multiple administration of tofogliflozin were generally well tolerated. Exposure to tofogliflozin was dose-proportional up to 320 mg and did not accumulate with multiple once-a-day administration. The model suggests more than 100 ng/mL Cavg corresponding to the dose of between 20 and 40 mg leads to almost maximum effect of tofogliflozin.

Abstract
Background and Objective An increased incidence in bleeding events has been reported in Western elderly patients receiving prasugrel. Therefore, doses in Japanese elderly subjects need to be carefully determined. We assessed the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of prasugrel at the clinical dose used in Japan in healthy Japanese elderly subjects compared with non-elderly subjects. Methods In an open-label parallel-group study conducted in Japan, two groups (elderly, aged >75 years; non-elderly, aged 45–65 years) received a 20-mg loading dose and a 3.75-mg maintenance dose of prasugrel for 7 days. Plasma concentration of its active metabolite, R-138727, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined on days 1 and 7 after dosing. Pharmacodynamic response to 20 µM of adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation was measured by light transmission aggregometry. Results A total of 47 subjects were enrolled (23 elderly, 24 non-elderly). There was no statistically significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between groups: area under the plasma concentration–time curve up to the last quantifiable time and maximum plasma concentration were about 174–175 ng·h/mL and 134–153 ng/mL, respectively, after the loading dose; and about 25–26 ng·h/mL and 25 ng/mL, respectively, after the maintenance dose. Inhibition of platelet aggregation was higher in the elderly subjects than in the non-elderly subjects, with a statistically significant difference from 24 h after the loading dose. No serious adverse events (bleeding or non-bleeding) occurred. Conclusions Prasugrel (20-mg loading dose; 3.75-mg maintenance dose) produced a slight increase in antiplatelet efficacy in elderly compared with non-elderly subjects, despite no statistically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous peramivir is a potent neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor with activity against influenza A and B viruses. The early use of NA inhibitors has been shown to reduce mortality in influenza patients. METHODS To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of peramivir and confirm the safety and tolerability of multiple infusions of peramivir in healthy Japanese subjects, two Phase I, single-centre, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled studies consisting of a multiple-dose study and a high-dose study were conducted. RESULTS Multiple intravenous infusions of peramivir were well tolerated up to 800 mg once a day and 400 mg twice daily for 6 days. Dose proportionalities for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) were established up to the 800 mg dose. Approximately 90% of unchanged peramivir was excreted into urine within 12 h after treatment with 800 mg of peramivir. The peramivir plasma and upper respiratory tract fluid levels were significantly higher than the 50% inhibition concentrations for NA enzyme activity (IC50) of epidemic influenza viruses, including those harbouring the H274Y mutation. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacokinetic properties obtained here for intravenous peramivir are consistent with the previously reported clinical efficacy and safety of this antiviral.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tofogliflozin is an oral hypoglycemic agent with a novel mechanism of action that reduces blood glucose levels by promoting glucose excretion in urine, achieved by selectively inhibiting sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). We evaluated the effects of several selected anti-type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) drugs-glimepiride, metformin, sitagliptin, pioglitazone, miglitol, nateglinide, and voglibose-on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tofogliflozin, and the effects of tofogliflozin on the pharmacokinetics of these anti-T2DM drugs in healthy male volunteers. METHODS A single dose of either tofogliflozin alone, one of the anti-T2DM drugs alone, or co-administration of tofogliflozin and the anti-T2DM drug was administered to 108 healthy men. Cmax, AUCinf, and cumulative urine glucose excretion after co-administration of tofogliflozin and each of the anti-T2DM drugs was evaluated relative to the values of those parameters after administration of each drug alone. RESULTS None of the anti-T2DM drugs had any effect on tofogliflozin exposure. Tofogliflozin had no or little effect on the exposure of any anti-T2DM drug. No anti-T2DM drug had any major effect on the cumulative urine glucose excretion induced by tofogliflozin. There were no safety concerns evident after administration of any drug alone or in co-administration. CONCLUSIONS Neither the pharmacokinetics nor the pharmacodynamics of tofogliflozin was affected by any of the anti-T2DM drugs evaluated in this study, nor was the pharmacokinetics of any of the anti-T2DM drugs affected by tofogliflozin in healthy male volunteers.

Abstract
Objective Levocetirizine, the R-enantiomer of cetirizine, is classified as a second generation antihistamine used for the treatment of allergic disorders. This study aimed to compare exposure to levocetirizine when given as levocetirizine oral solution (OS) 5 mg to that when given as cetirizine dry syrup (DS) 10 mg, which contains equal proportions of levocetirizine and dextrocetirizine, in healthy Japanese male subjects. Methods The study was conducted in an open-label, single dose, randomized and two-way cross-over design. Eligible subjects were allocated to one of two groups and received either levocetirizine OS 5 mg or cetirizine DS 10 mg under fasting conditions, and the alternate treatment after a 7-days washout period. Serial blood samples were taken after each administration, and plasma levocetirizine concentrations were determined using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by using non-compartmental analysis. Comparisons of levocetirizine pharmacokinetics were conducted with maximum concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from dosing until 48 h post-dose (AUC0–48) after each treatment. Clinical Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov identifier is NCT01622283 Results The mean Cmax and AUC0–48 of levocetirizine after a single dose of levocetirizine OS 5 mg and cetirizine DS 10 mg were 203.3 ± 42.49 ng/mL and 1814.9 ± 304.22 ng.hr/mL, and 196.5 ± 31.31 ng/mL and 1710.5 ± 263.31 ng hr/mL, respectively. The ratios and the 90% CIs of the geometric least squares means ratios of Cmax and AUC0–48 were 1.027 (0.968–1.091) and 1.059 (1.024–1.094), respectively. Limitation The small sample size and single dose design of this study prevent definitive conclusions regarding the pharmacokinetics and safety of levocetirizine OS in a Japanese patient population being made. Study limitations include conducting the study in adult males, not in children. Conclusions Levocetirizine exposure in plasma was equivalent when given as levocetirizine OS 5 mg and as cetirizine DS 10 mg. Both preparations were safe and well-tolerated in healthy Japanese male subjects.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fosaprepitant dimeglumine (Proemend® for Injection; formerly ONO-7847) is a phosphorylated prodrug that is rapidly converted to aprepitant, an oral selective neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist approved for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. This Phase 1 study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of fosaprepitant after a single intravenous dose in healthy Japanese men. METHODS All fosaprepitant- or placebo-treated subjects were assessed for the occurrence of adverse events. RESULTS Ninety subjects were randomized into treatment and placebo groups. The plasma fosaprepitant concentrations generally reached steady state by 15 minutes after the start of infusion. Although the maximum concentration was proportional to the infusion time, no clinically important pharmacokinetic differences were noted in the cohorts examined. Most adverse events observed in this study were associated with infusion site reactions, which tended toward a higher incidence with shorter infusion times. These events were mild in severity. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that fosaprepitant at different concentrations and over different infusion times has a pharmacokinetic and safety profile that is comparable to the intravenous dose previously established as efficacious and well tolerated. The dosing flexibility afforded by the single-dose fosaprepitant formulation should lead to greater convenience for patients and health care providers.

An effective absorption behavior of insulin for diabetic treatment following intranasal delivery using porous spherical calcium carbonate in monkeys and healthy human volunteers. Diabetes Technol Ther 2003; 5:1-9.

Abstract
Porous spherical calcium carbonate (PS-CaCO(3)), in contrast to regular calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)), which has a cuboidal particle shape, has a characteristic spherical particle shape with a large number of porous, sliver crystals. The effect of PS-CaCO(3) as a drug carrier on intranasal insulin absorption was investigated in cynomolgus monkeys and healthy human volunteers. Each insulin formulation (powder) containing PS-CaCO(3) or regular CaCO(3) was administered intranasally. Serum insulin and glucose levels after administration were evaluated. The insulin absorption after intranasal administration with each CaCO(3) was found to be much more rapid than that after subcutaneous administration. The serum insulin level after intranasal insulin delivery (16 U per monkey) with PS-CaCO(3) showed a higher C(max) (403.5 microU/mL) and shorter T(max) (0.167 h) when compared with regular CaCO(3). The serum glucose level reduction rate after intranasal delivery using PS-CaCO(3) was faster than that of regular CaCO(3), reflecting the difference in absorption rates. Following repeated intranasal administrations for 4 weeks in monkeys, no toxicity was observed even with a maximum insulin dose level of 25 U. Furthermore, the intranasal insulin absorption rate with PS-CaCO(3) in healthy humans was also observed to be considerably faster than that with regular CaCO(3). Effects of PS-CaCO(3) on a more effective absorption behavior of insulin were considered to be the result of a greater affinity between the nasal mucosa layer and PS-CaCO(3), which is closely related to its structural characteristics. Thus, intranasal insulin delivery using PS-CaCO(3) is thought to be a safe and highly available system enabling more effective insulin absorption behavior with the appearance of endogenous postprandial insulin secretion in healthy humans. We believe that our intranasal insulin delivery system enabling a rapid and short-acting pharmacological effect against postprandial hyperglycemia will be more beneficial than pulmonary insulin delivery systems in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
The introduction in Japan of New GCP regulations, as well as the internationalization of clinical trials under the ICH process (International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use), has meant that the system is now faced with a number of serious challenges. This is shown by the dramatic decrease in registration of new drugs. Identifying the actors in the new context is essential. We shall first define precisely what is the Regulatory Authority in Japan, and which are the Regulatory Requirements to be fulfilled. We shall then describe the new process for evaluation of foreign clinical data. One of the major issues will be to determine in which cases a complete clinical data package will be sufficient to support regulatory submission, and in which cases additional clinical studies or bridging studies, and what kind of bridging studies will be required.

Abstract
This study was conducted to characterize the opiate dependence potential of a number of opiate and non-opiate psychoactive drugs in morphine-dependent cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). In addition, the agonist/antagonist profiles of buprenorphine and butorphanol were directly compared. Six male cynomolgus monkeys were maintained on morphine (3.0 mg/kg, q.i.d.) for 6 months. On evaluation days, monkeys were scored for opiate withdrawal signs 18 h after the last dose of morphine. Single dose suppression studies were conducted by giving subcutaneous injections of morphine (3 or 6 mg/kg), naloxone (0.01, 0.05 or 0.1 mg/kg), buprenorphine (1, 3, 10, 30 or 100 micrograms/kg), butorphanol (0.01, 0.1, 1.0 or 3.2 mg/kg), haloperidol (0.01, 0.05 or 0.1 mg/kg), imipramine (2, 5 or 10 mg/kg) or saline and measuring the number and frequency of withdrawal signs that appeared over a 2-h period. In a separate precipitation experiment either saline or 0.01 or 0.1 mg/kg butorphanol was administered 2 h after the last maintenance dose of morphine. In the single dose suppression test, morphine completely suppressed most withdrawal signs while naloxone increased the severity of withdrawal. All doses of buprenorphine increased many withdrawal signs such as backward gait, rearing, chafing face, chain biting, vomiting, masturbation, and vocalizations after intimidation. Only a few signs were reduced, but the overall withdrawal scores were not significantly increased. Low doses of butorphanol suppressed some signs while the highest dose almost completely eliminated all withdrawal signs. Butorphanol also failed to precipitate opiate withdrawal, and actually reversed the signs present in the saline-treated monkeys. Imipramine and haloperidol had little effect on the morphine withdrawal syndrome.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
First, we longitudinally analyzed 177 cerebral-palsied children (CP) who were born in Kyoto City between 1977 and 1985. They were all visited St. Joseph Hospital for Crippled Children in Kyoto during the period 1977 to 1991 in order to investigate the relationship between the prognosis of perinatal care and the changing panorama of CP in Kyoto. The average occurrence rate of CP per 1,000 live birth during the 9 years in Kyoto was 1.12. 177 CP were divided into 3 groups according to their birth years: 1977-1979 (47 CP); 1980-1982 (62 CP); and 1983-1985 (68 CP). Then we compared the distribution of birthweights and gestational periods among the 3 groups. We found a significant increasing trend in the percentage of CP in babies with birthweight less than 2,000 g. Second, we examined 162 CP; 15 born outside of Kyoto were excluded because of extraneous influences of perinatal care. 162 were divided into 3 groups according to their birth years: 1977-1979 (44); 1980-1982 (56); and 1983-1985 (62). We also compared the risk factors and prognosis according to the birthweights and gestational ages among the 3 groups. This study revealed a decreasing trend in the frequency of convulsions of full term CP, dyspnea and oxygen administration of premature CP in the neonatal period. At the same time, the motor development of CP without mental retardation had improved significantly in the later period. However, in the last 3 years the distribution of the severity of motor disturbance at 4 years of age among CP with birthweight of 1,000-2,000 g was either mild or severe.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Effects of short and long exposure to the diabetic state induced by an injection of streptozotocin to young female rats on glucagon- and catecholamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity and adrenergic receptors of hepatic membranes have been studied. The short period of exposure to the diabetic state exhibited an increase in the sensitivity of the enzyme to isoproterenol without changes in the affinity and the number of beta-adrenergic receptors. The increased response of adenylate cyclase activity to isoproterenol was accompanied with a greater GTP-induced lowering of the affinity to the beta-adrenergic agonist in diabetic membranes than in the controls. The chronic diabetic state produced a decrease in the adenylate cyclase activity to hormonal or non-hormonal stimuli with a fall in the number of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. These results suggest that the observed effects of the diabetic state on hormonally sensitive adenylate cyclase activities and their receptor binding sites of the hepatic membranes would vary depending on the duration and/or severity of the diabetic state experimentally induced.

Abstract
We studied the correlation between motor developmental processes and prognosis of locomotion at the age of 4 years, among 15 spastic diplegic children (S) and 21 athetotic children (A), who started treatment under 1 year of age. The children of each type were divided into two groups according to the ability of locomotion at the age of 4 years; S- I: 6 walkers, S- II: 9 crawler, A- I: 11 walkers and A- II: 10 crawler. We compared the average corrected ages when the subjects attained the abilities to roll over, creep, sit with hands, crawl, sit up, cruise with support, stand up, and walk alone, and made a statistical analysis by t test among 4 groups. Also we compared the cumulative frequency percentages for the ages about the locomotion mentioned above. The S- I group attained all of the abilities of locomotion significantly earlier than the S- II group. The A- I group could crawl and sit up significantly earlier than the S- II group. The A- I group could crawl and sit up significantly earlier than the A- II group. The S- I group began to creep and sit with hands significantly earlier than the A- I group. We found no significant differences between the S- II group and the A- II group in motor developmental processes. These studies revealed that it would be possible to expect the prognosis of ambulation at the age of 4 years according to the early motor developmental processes among the spastic diplegic children.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of angiotensin II (A II) on adenylate cyclase activities in membranes of the zona glomerulosa (the capsular fraction) and the zona fasciculata (the decapsulated fraction) from rat adrenocortical glands were investigated. A time- and GTP-dependent stimulation by A II of adenylate cyclase activity was observed in the capsular fraction but not in the decapsulated fraction. The activation of adenylate cyclase by ACTH and A II was additive. Stimulation by A II was inhibited by an angiotensin antagonist, DD-3487 (DD). Moreover, the addition of a prostaglandin antagonist, a mixture of polyesters of polyphloretin phosphate (PPP) and an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, indomethacin, was effective in inhibiting A II-induced stimulation of the capsular adenylate cyclase activity, suggesting that the activation of A II receptors located on the capsular membrane leads to the release of prostaglandins, which in turn stimulates the adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
To evaluate the pathologic state accurately and objectively, fifteen patients with spastic diplegia were examined with surface electromyography (EMG) of the rectus femoris, medial hamstring, anterior tibial and gastrocnemius muscles. Seven showed disturbed reciprocal innervation (disturbed group) and 8 showed reciprocal innervation (non disturbed group). The disturbance of reciprocal innervation on EMG showed a positive correlation with delay in onset of crawling by 10 months (p less than 0.05), a low level of motor development (p less than 0.005) and more abnormal CT findings. Four patients in the disturbed group showed various abnormalities in X-rays of the hips. Surface EMG findings of crawling muscle may be useful for understanding the pathologic state of crawling in spastic diplegia.

Abstract
Various kinds of N-substituted valiolamine derivatives, including compounds 23a, 24a, and 34a, which are structurally analogous to the key pseudodisaccharides (25a and 26a) of naturally occurring oligosaccharide alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitors, have been synthesized and estimated by the measure of inhibitory activity against porcine sucrase and maltase. The N-substituted valiolamine derivatives evaluated in this study have been found to be more potent than the corresponding N-substituted valienamine derivatives as well as the parent valiolamine. It is noteworthy that even simple N-substituted valiolamine derivatives such as N-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]-, N-[(1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclohexyl]-, and N-[(R)-(-)-beta-hydroxyphenethyl]valiolamine (6, 8a, and 9a) have the stronger alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitory activity against porcine intestinal maltase and sucrase than naturally occurring oligosaccharide alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitors.

Abstract
A new amino acid, dealanylalahopcin, was isolated from a culture filtrate of Streptomyces albulus subsp. ochragerus; it was also formed by the enzymatic hydrolysis of alahopcin using microbial alpha-amino acid ester hydrolase. The amino acid was obtained as colorless needles and its molecular formula is C6H10N2O5. It showed very weak antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and weak inhibitory activity against the collagen prolylhydroxylase.

Abstract
This study reports the effect of early physiotherapy, using Vojta's method, on children with spastic diplegia. Eight children with spastic diplegia (in spite of early treatment which was started before nine months of age) were compared with 21 children with spastic diplegia in which treatment was started between nine months and three years of age. The average age of starting to walk was eight months earlier in the group treated early, although they had more severe complications. They tended to walk steadily with a gait pattern which was quite different from the classical pattern. All of the early treated patients had confirmed organic brain damage with abnormal CT scan or microcephaly. In conclusion, Vojta's method of treatment is one system which improves the prognosis for walking if performed early.

Abstract
An aziridine ring-formation involving the reaction of adjacent amino and alcohol groups with triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride, and triethylamine was applied at the 2' and 3' positions of butirosin A (1a) and B (1b). The amino groups at the 2' position of 1a and 1b were p-methoxybenzylated to increase the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom and to avoid the formation of a P-N linkage, and the N-p-methoxybenzyl derivatives were converted into the aziridine derivatives, which were then subjected to hydrogenolysis and removal of the protecting groups to give 3'-deoxybutirosin A (7a) and B (7b), respectively. This new method is compared with the conventional N,O-protecting method that involves several complex steps.

Abstract
Two new species of Streptomyces, S. heteromorphus and heteromorphus and S. panayensis, were found to produce a new atibiotic named C-2801X together with cephamycins A and B. The antibiotics were separated from each other by column chromatography on Amberlite XAD-2 and isolated in pure form as mono-sodium salts. C-2801X mono-sodium salt has a molecular formula C25H28N3O12SNa, and exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including those insensitive to cephamycins A and B. From its physicochemical and biological properties, C2801X was considered to be a new cephamycin-type antibiotic.
