Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has been broadly used to facilitate drug development, hereby we developed a PBPK model to systematically investigate the underlying mechanisms of the observed positive food effect of compound X (cpd X) and to strategically explore the feasible approaches to mitigate the food effect. Cpd X is a weak base with pH-dependent solubility; the compound displays significant and dose-dependent food effect in humans, leading to a nonadherence of drug administration. A GastroPlus Opt logD Model was selected for pharmacokinetic simulation under both fasted and fed conditions, where the biopharmaceutic parameters (e.g., solubility and permeability) for cpd X were determined in vitro, and human pharmacokinetic disposition properties were predicted from preclinical data and then optimized with clinical pharmacokinetic data. A parameter sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of particle size on the cpd X absorption. A PBPK model was successfully developed for cpd X; its pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., C max, AUCinf, and t max) predicted at different oral doses were within ±25% of the observed mean values. The in vivo solubility (in duodenum) and mean precipitation time under fed conditions were estimated to be 7.4- and 3.4-fold higher than those under fasted conditions, respectively. The PBPK modeling analysis provided a reasonable explanation for the underlying mechanism for the observed positive food effect of the cpd X in humans. Oral absorption of the cpd X can be increased by reducing the particle size (<100 nm) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient under fasted conditions and therefore, reduce the cpd X food effect correspondingly. 相似文献

Pregnancy is proposed to be a Th2 phenomenon, where Th2 cytokines inhibit Th1 responses to improve foetal survival. The importance of interleukin-10 (IL-10), an immunomodulatory cytokine produced by Th2 cells, in the maintenance of normal pregnancy is becoming increasingly apparent. In a longitudinal case-control study, the physiological effect of pregnancy on plasma IL-10 was investigated. The plasma concentration of IL-10 was determined using an ELISA technique in 99 pregnant women sampled at 12, 20 and 35 weeks of gestation, 38 non-pregnant control subjects sampled in parallel and in a subgroup of women sampled at 3 days post-partum (n, pregnant 21, non-pregnant 21). Plasma IL-10 was significantly higher in pregnant women at 12, 20 and 35 weeks of gestation (p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.0001, respectively), and in mothers post-delivery (p<0.01) when compared to non-pregnant control subjects. Furthermore, there was no significant effect of gestational time on IL-10 concentration. Results from the current study suggest that elevated IL-10 is a physiological consequence of normal healthy pregnancy. These findings help clarify previous conflicting results and establish a range for plasma levels of IL-10 in normal healthy pregnancy. 相似文献

This study is designed to evaluate whether oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in severe pre-eclampsia compared to normal pregnancy and non-pregnancy. We have measured plasma and urinary levels of 8-iso-PGF2α, a major isoprostane as an indicator of oxidative stress; plasma and urinary 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2α, a major metabolite of cyclooxygenase-catalysed PGF2α as an indicator of inflammatory response, and plasma -α-and -γ-tocopherol in 18 pre-eclamptic, 19 normal pregnancy and 20 non-pregnant women. Pregnant women had significantly higher levels of 8-iso-PGF2α and PGF2α metabolite as compared to the non-pregnancy. Levels of 8-iso-PGF2α in the pre-eclamptic women did not differ from the normal pregnancy but PGF2α metabolite levels were significantly higher in normal pregnancy. On the other hand, γ-tocopherol levels were significantly lower in pre-eclampsia than normal pregnancy. In contrast, the concentration of α-tocopherol was very similar between the groups. α-and γ-tocopherol levels were significantly lower in pregnancy compared to non-pregnancy. Although no direct evidence of oxidative stress and inflammatory response was observed in severe pre-eclampsia, a reduction of γ-tocopherol suggests the possible precedence of oxidative stress in this condition. Higher levels of isoprostanes and prostaglandin metabolite in late pregnancy suggest the importance of both free radicals and cyclooxygenase-catalysed oxidation products in normal biological processes of pregnancy. 相似文献

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling integrates physicochemical (PC) and in vitro pharmacokinetic (PK) data using a mechanistic framework of principal ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) processes into a physiologically based whole-body model. Absorption, distribution, and clearance are modeled by combining compound-specific PC and PK properties with physiological processes. Thereby, isolated in vitro data can be upgraded by means of predicting full concentration-time profiles prior to animal experiments. The integrative process of PBPK modeling leads to a better understanding of the specific ADME processes driving the PK behavior in vivo, and has the power to rationally select experiments for a more focussed PK project support. This article presents a generic disposition model based on tissue-composition-based distribution and directly scaled hepatic clearance. This model can be used in drug discovery to identify the critical PK issues of compound classes and to rationally guide the optimization path of the compounds toward a viable development candidate. Starting with a generic PBPK model, which is empirically based on the most common PK processes, the model will be gradually tailored to the specifics of drug candidates as more and more experimental data become available. This will lead to a growing understanding of the 'drug in the making', allowing a range of predictions to be made for various purposes and conditions. The stage is set for a wide penetration of PK modeling and simulations to form an intrinsic part of a project starting from lead discovery, to lead optimization and candidate selection, to preclinical profiling and clinical trials. 相似文献

DSTA4637A, a THIOMAB? antibody-antibiotic conjugate targeting Staphylococcus aureus, has shown promising bactericidal activity in a mouse model. DSTA4637A consists of a monoclonal anti-S. aureus antibody with an average of two rifalogue antibiotic molecules, dmDNA31, linked to its light chains. The goal of this study was to develop a minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) model to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of three analytes of DSTA4637A (i.e., total antibody, antibody-conjugated dmDNA31, and unconjugated dmDNA31) in mice, and to predict pharmacokinetics of DSTA4637A analytes in humans, as well as to provide an initial assessment for potential PK drug-drug interactions (DDI) in clinical trials via cross-species scaling of the mPBPK model. In the proposed model, selected organs, including heart, liver, and kidney, were connected anatomically with plasma and lymph flows. Mouse plasma and tissue concentrations of the three analytes of DSTA4637A were fitted simultaneously to estimate the PK parameters. Cross-species scaling of the model was performed by integrating allometric scaling and human physiological parameters. The final mPBPK model was able to successfully capture PK profiles of three DSTA4637A analytes in mouse plasma and in investigated organs. The model predicted a steady-state peak unbound dmDNA31 concentration lower than 5% of the IC50 of dmDNA31 towards cytochrome P450 following 100 mg/kg weekly intravenous dose, which suggests a low risk of PK DDI in humans for DSTA4637A with co-administered cytochrome P450 substrates. The proposed mPBPK modeling and cross-species scaling approaches provide valuable tools that facilitate the understanding and translation of DSTA4637A disposition from preclinical species to humans. 相似文献

We see in this study the effect of high intensity exercise (90% VO2 max) in pregnant rats and their offspring depending on the length of pregnancy. The findings were compared with those obtained for sedentary pregnant rats and non-pregnant rats for similar exercise. This allowed for analysing the isolated effects of exercise (against the sedentary non-pregnant rat control group), of pregnancy and of the interaction between the two factors. For checking the effect of the length of pregnancy, each group of rats was subdivided into those with pregnancy terminated or sacrificed on the seventh, fourteenth or twentieth day of the experiment. VO2 max, post-exertion blood lactic acid level, body weight gain, food intake, feed efficiency, glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, total protein and albumin plasmatic concentrations in adult rats, and weight and number of offspring of pregnant rats were determined. Pregnancy increased weight gain and feed efficiency from the first week of the study, accompanied by a greater food intake (from the twelfth day). In the group of pregnant rats subjected to exercise, there was a reduction in weight gain percentage and feed efficiency in the first and third weeks, staying the same in the second week. A greater food intake during the period accompanied this recovery in the second week. In the group of non-pregnant rats subjected to exercise, food intake did not vary. As the weight gain percentage was less in relation to the non-pregnant control group, feed efficiency decreased. Pregnancy induced a drop in blood sugar level starting in the second week, and the exercise performed during pregnancy did not change this behavior. Pregnancy produced, however, an increase in plasmatic concentration of triglycerides and total cholesterol during the third week of pregnancy. Exercise performed by pregnant rats also did not change this behavior, but the increase observed in the third week was less. Exercise performed by non-pregnant rats did not change the blood sugar level and plasmatic concentration of triglycerides and total cholesterol during the entire experiment. Plasmatic concentration of total proteins and albumin showed a drop in the third week of pregnancy, probably due to high fetal use of proteins in this stage. Exercise performed by the pregnant group caused a lower protein drop in the third week, and in the non-pregnant group, determined an increase in plasmatic protein concentrations. The weight of the offspring of mother rats exercised until the end of the second and third weeks of pregnancy was found to be reduced in relation to the sedentary pregnant group. The group exercised until the third week showed a reduction in the number of offspring, indicating a possible fetal reabsorption. These findings confirmed that high intensity exercise can produce deleterious effects on the mother and fetus, especially when applied up to the last stage of pregnancy. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin M and G levels in bovine Trypanosoma vivax infection were compared in non-pregnant, first, second and third trimester pregnant heifers. All the infected heifers showed a significant rise in IgM levels when compared to the non-infected controls. 7–8 fold increases were recorded. There were however differences in the rate of increases and ability to maintain peak level response (P <0.01) between the groups. Infected pregnant heifers in the first and second trimester responded better than infected non-pregnant and infected heifers in the third trimester pregnancy. In all the groups, the differences between the infected and control heifers were highly significant (P <0.001). The IgG levels showed a similar pattern of increases in infected heifers though response was gradual. In the different groups 1.4–2.5-fold increases were recorded. These were significantly different from levels in the control (P <0.01). Again, pregnant heifers responded better than non-pregnant heifers except those in the third trimester pregnancy. The results correlated with the observation that given the same conditions, clinical manifestation of T. vivax infection is more severe in non-pregnant than in pregnant heifers except those in advanced pregnancy. 相似文献

The effect of pregnancy on the supply of calcium ions for the contractile responses of rat aortic rings to phenylephrine was investigated. The contractility of intact aortic rings from pregnant rats, compared with that of similar rings from non-pregnant rats, to phenylephrine and potassium chloride was significantly decreased. Contractions of rings from non-pregnant rats, pretreated with phenylephrine or potassium chloride, in response to calcium chloride were greater than those of similarly treated rings from pregnant rats. When the concentration of calcium chloride in the medium bathing the rings was reduced to 0.8 mmol·l-1, the contractile response to phenylephrine was significantly (P<0.005) inhibited in rings from both pregnant and non-pregnant rats but to a greater extent in rings from non-pregnant rats. Contractions of aortic rings from pregnant rats in response to phenylephrine in calcium-free medium were similar to those of rings from non-pregnant rats, suggesting equal dependence on calcium from intracellular stores. The results suggest that pregnancy decreased the response to calcium influx into the aortic smooth muscle cells through both receptor-and voltage-operated calcium entry pathways. Since de-endothelialisation reversed the pregnancy-induced diminished contraction to phenylephrine, it is likely that pregnancy interferred with contractions induced by activation of receptors with phenylephrine through enhanced production of endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s).Abbreviations EC50

Interindividual variability in anatomical and physiological properties results in significant differences in drug pharmacokinetics. The consideration of such pharmacokinetic variability supports optimal drug efficacy and safety for each single individual, e.g. by identification of individual-specific dosings. One clear objective in clinical drug development is therefore a thorough characterization of the physiological sources of interindividual variability. In this work, we present a Bayesian population physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach for the mechanistically and physiologically realistic identification of interindividual variability. The consideration of a generic and highly detailed mechanistic PBPK model structure enables the integration of large amounts of prior physiological knowledge, which is then updated with new experimental data in a Bayesian framework. A covariate model integrates known relationships of physiological parameters to age, gender and body height. We further provide a framework for estimation of the a posteriori parameter dependency structure at the population level. The approach is demonstrated considering a cohort of healthy individuals and theophylline as an application example. The variability and co-variability of physiological parameters are specified within the population; respectively. Significant correlations are identified between population parameters and are applied for individual- and population-specific visual predictive checks of the pharmacokinetic behavior, which leads to improved results compared to present population approaches. In the future, the integration of a generic PBPK model into an hierarchical approach allows for extrapolations to other populations or drugs, while the Bayesian paradigm allows for an iterative application of the approach and thereby a continuous updating of physiological knowledge with new data. This will facilitate decision making e.g. from preclinical to clinical development or extrapolation of PK behavior from healthy to clinically significant populations. 相似文献

The objective was to compare two resynchronization programs; one that used a blood-based ELISA for pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAG) for pregnancy diagnosis so that non-pregnant cows were re-inseminated at 28 d after first TAI, and another that used transrectal ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis so that non-pregnant cows were re-inseminated at 35 d after first TAI. The PAG_resynch cows (n = 103) began CIDR-Ovsynch resynchronization on Day 18 after first TAI (Day 0). On Day 25, the CIDR was removed and pregnancy diagnosis with a PAG ELISA was performed. If a cow was not pregnant on Day 25, she was treated with PGF2α, treated with GnRH 2 d later (Day 27), and TAI on Day 28. Control cows (n = 99) were observed for estrus until Day 25, when they began an identical CIDR-Ovsynch program with pregnancy diagnosis by transrectal ultrasonography on Day 32. If a cow was not pregnant on Day 32, then she was treated with PGF2α, treated with GnRH 2 d later (Day 34), and TAI on Day 35. There was no difference in pregnancy per AI (P/AI) for either group at first or second insemination. For cows without pregnancy loss, the interval between first and second (P < 0.001) or second and third (P < 0.016) TAI was shorter for PAG_resynch cows compared with Control cows. The interval between first and second or second and third TAI was not different if pregnancy loss cows were included in the analysis. Plasma progesterone concentrations were similar at PGF2α treatment, and plasma estradiol concentrations increased similarly after PGF2α treatment for PAG_resynch and Control cows. In conclusion, the 28 d CIDR-Ovsynch resynchronization protocol was comparable to a 35 d CIDR-Ovsynch resynchronization protocol that also included estrus detection. Shortened resynchronization protocols that do not require estrus detection may improve reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle. 相似文献

Maternal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) supplies the developing fetus during pregnancy; however, the mechanisms are unclear. We utilized pregnant rats to determine rates of DHA accretion, tissue unesterified DHA uptake and whole-body DHA synthesis-secretion. Female rats maintained on a DHA-free, 2% α-linolenic acid diet were either:1) sacrificed at 56 days for baseline measures, 2) mated and sacrificed at 14–18 days of pregnancy or 3) or sacrificed at 14–18 days as age-matched virgin controls. Maternal brain, adipose, liver and whole body fatty acid concentrations was determined for balance analysis, and kinetic modeling was used to determine brain and liver plasma unesterified DHA uptake and whole-body DHA synthesis-secretion rates. Total liver DHA was significantly higher in pregnant (95±5 μmol) versus non-pregnant (49±5) rats with no differences in whole-body DHA synthesis-secretion rates. However, liver uptake of plasma unesterified DHA was 3.8-fold higher in pregnant animals compared to non-pregnant controls, and periuterine adipose DHA was lower in pregnant (0.89±0.09 μmol/g) versus non-pregnant (1.26±0.06) rats. In conclusion, higher liver DHA accretion during pregnancy appears to be driven by higher unesterified DHA uptake, potentially via DHA mobilization from periuterine adipose for delivery to the fetus during the brain growth spurt. 相似文献

Prediction of Pharmacokinetic Profile of Valsartan in Humans Based on in vitro Uptake‐Transport Data
The aim of this study was to evaluate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for predicting PK profiles in humans based on a model refined in rats and humans in vitro uptake‐transport data using valsartan as a probe substrate. Valsartan is eliminated unchanged, mostly through biliary excretion, both in humans and rats. It was, therefore, chosen as model compound to predict in vivo elimination based on in vitro hepatic uptake‐transport data using a fully mechanistic PBPK model. Plated rat and human hepatocytes, and cell lines overexpressing human OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 were used for in vitro uptake experiments. A mechanistic two‐compartment model was used to derive the active and passive transport parameters, namely uptake Michaelis–Menten parameters (Vmax and Km,u) together with passive diffusion (Pdif). These transport parameters were then used as input in a whole body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. The uptake rate of valsartan was higher for rat hepatocytes (Km,u=28.4±3.7 μM , Vmax=1320±180 pmol/mg/min, and Pdif =1.21±0.42 μl/mg/min) compared to human hepatocytes (Km,u=44.4±14.6 μM , Vmax=304±85 pmol/mg/min, and Pdif=0.724±0.271 μl/mg/min). OATP1B1 and ‐1B3 parameters were correlated to human hepatocyte data, using experimentally established relative activity factors (RAF). Resulting PBPK simulations were compared for plasma‐ (humans and rats) and bile‐ (rats) concentration–time profiles following iv bolus administration of valsartan. Plasma clearances (CLP) for rats and humans were predicted within twofold relative to predictions based on respective in vitro data. The simulations were extended to simulate the impact of either OATP1B1 or ‐1B3 inhibition on plasma profile. The limited data set indicates that the mechanistic model allowed for accurate evaluation of in vitro transport data; and the resulting hepatic uptake transport kinetic parameters enabled the prediction of in vivo PK profiles and plasma clearances, using PBPK modelling. Moreover, the interspecies difference in elimination rate observed in vivo was correctly reflected in the transport parameters determined in vitro. 相似文献

The mean urinary excretion of 5α, 7α-dihydroxy-11-ketotetranor-prostane-1,16-dioic acid, the major urinary metabolite of prostaglandins F1α and F2α, in eight women in pregnancy weeks 37–40 was 32.5 ± 12.2 μg/24 hours, representing a 2–5 fold increase compared to non-pregnant women. Determination of the metabolite throughout pregnancy in three subjects showed that there was a gradual increase in the urinary excretion as pregnancy progressed with maximum excretion (4–5 times the individual pre-pregnant value) at the end of pregnancy. After pregnancy there was a rapid normalization back to the pre-pregnant excretion value. 相似文献

Background
Beef cows herd accounts for 70% of the total energy used in the beef production system. However, there are still limited studies regarding improvement of production efficiency in this category, mainly in developing countries and in tropical areas. One of the limiting factors is the difficulty to obtain reliable estimates of weight variation in mature cows. This occurs due to the interaction of weight of maternal tissues with specific physiological stages such as pregnancy. Moreover, variation in gastrointestinal contents due to feeding status in ruminant animals is a major source of error in body weight measurements.Objectives
Develop approaches to estimate the individual proportion of weight from maternal tissues and from gestation in pregnant cows, adjusting for feeding status and stage of gestation.Methods and Findings
Dataset of 49 multiparous non-lactating Nellore cows (32 pregnant and 17 non-pregnant) were used. To establish the relationships between the body weight, depending on the feeding status of pregnant and non-pregnant cows as a function of days of pregnancy, a set of general equations was tested, based on theoretical suppositions. We proposed the concept of pregnant compound (PREG), which represents the weight that is genuinely related to pregnancy. The PREG includes the gravid uterus minus the non-pregnant uterus plus the accretion in udder related to pregnancy. There was no accretion in udder weight up to 238 days of pregnancy. By subtracting the PREG from live weight of a pregnant cow, we obtained estimates of the weight of only maternal tissues in pregnant cows. Non-linear functions were adjusted to estimate the relationship between fasted, non-fasted and empty body weight, for pregnant and non-pregnant cows.Conclusions
Our results allow for estimating the actual live weight of pregnant cows and their body constituents, and subsequent comparison as a function of days of gestation and feeding status. 相似文献18.
Plasma concentrations of progesterone (P4) and 17β-oestradiol (E2) in juvenile, pre-ovulatory, early, mid- or late pregnancy stages of female blue sharks Prionace glauca were analysed. Concentrations of P4 were significantly higher in pregnant than in non-pregnant individuals, whereas E2 concentrations increased with embryonic and follicular development. A highly accurate (86.1%) random forest classification model was developed to predict shark pregnancy. It is proposed that hormone concentrations could be used for the subsequent non-lethal determination of female P. glauca reproductive state. 相似文献

Detection of the pregnancy-specific antigen, chorionic somatomammotrophin in serum was applied to the diagnosis of pregnancy in a commercial-type flock of 286 sheep 70 days after joining with rams. At the time of testing the ewes were between Days 47 and 70 of pregnancy. Based upon lambing results, the positive diagnoses were 97% correct. However, the accuracy in diagnosing non-pregnancy, which rose from 85% when all the ewes (Day 47–70) were considered to 99% after Day 55, suggest that some pregnant ewes whose stage of pregnancy was earlier than Day 55 were not being detected and were wrongly designated non-pregnant. This pregnancy test can be successfully used from Day 55, although a correct prediction of pregnancy was made in 40 ewes between Days 47 and 54. 相似文献
