Background: An increasing number of studies have reported differences in the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of antidepressants between women and men.Objectives: This article updates previously published literature describing sex differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antidepressants, and examines specific issues that face women with psychiatric illness.Methods: An English-language literature search was performed with the PubMed database (March 2003–December 2008) using combinations of the search terms sex, gender, and antidepressants. In addition, each antidepressant was identified in the 63rd edition of the Physicians' Desk Reference.Results: The current data suggest that the pharmacokinetics of antidepressants can be substantially different between women and men. Likewise, the response to antidepressants can be quite variable, including sex differences in adverse effects and time to response.Conclusions: Despite the many sex differences reported, there is still little published work systematically evaluating potential sex differences in antidepressant pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. More research is needed to guide the treatment of depression and other mental illnesses. 相似文献

Ochratoxin A (OTA) can be detected worldwide from various food and feed sources. It is produced byPenicillium nordicum andP. verrucosum as well as by variousAspergillus species, withA. ochraceus andA. carbonarius as the predominant producers. Various pairs of PCR primers based on AFLP, RAPD as well as primers specific to ribosomal RNA
and genes coding for calmodulin and OTA biosynthetic pathway components were recently developed to detect and identify OTA
producers in conventional and real-time PCR assays. Application of such assays in contaminated samples was demonstrated only
in few cases. The current review gives an updated overview over the methods at hand. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize several aspects of species of the genus Dietzia, such as current taxonomic placement, morphological and growth characteristics, biochemical reactions, cellular lipid and fatty acid composition, the amino acids and sugars of whole-cell hydrolysates and the respiratory quinone system, and genomic guanine and cytosine (G + C) content. The species chosen for study were D. aerolata, D. alimentaria, D. aurantiaca, D. cerdiciphylli, D. cinnamea, D. kunjamensis, D. lutea, D. maris, D. natronolimnaea, D. papillomatosis, D. psychralcaliphila, D. schimae, and D. timorensis. The colony morphology study revealed that the colonies were small, smooth, circular and convex. Nitrate reduction, H2S production, hydrolysis of urea, starch, and Tween 80, and the Voges–Proskauer and methyl red tests were performed for biochemical differentiation of the various Dietzia strains. Optimum growth temperature and pH for the different strains were 25–30 °C and 7–8, respectively. Among the strains studied, D. timorensis ID05-A0528T had the lowest tolerance level to NaCl (7 %). This strain was also able to utilize a wide range of compounds as the sole carbon source. Short-chain mycolic acids were present in these bacteria. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose, and galactose; the glycan moiety of the cell wall contained acetyl residues. The major menaquinone was MK-8 (H2). The G + C contents of the DNA ranged from 64.7 (D. alimentaria 72T) to 73 mol?% (D. maris DSM 43672T). The most important phospholipids in these strains were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. 相似文献

Stereoselectivity of the pharmacokinetics of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug flobufen, 4-(2', 4'-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-2-methyl-4-oxobutanoic acid, was studied in male Wistar rats after intravenous administration. Pharmacokinetic parameters and chiral inversion of flobufen enantiomers were studied after a bolus injection of the racemate and individual enantiomers (5 mg/kg). Determinations of the enantiomers in rat plasma were performed using chiral HPLC (terguride column). After i.v. administration of flobufen racemate, plasma levels of R-enantiomer decreased more rapidly. The S-/R-enantiomer ratio of AUCs after rac-flobufen was 13.3. The total plasma clearance value of S-flobufen was more than 10-fold lower than R-flobufen. The other pharmacokinetic parameters of the enantiomers were also significantly different. While only traces of R-enantiomer (less than 1%) were detected in rat plasma after S-flobufen administration, considerable conversion to the S-enantiomer was found after injection of R-flobufen (R-enantiomer AUC/S-enantiomer AUC = 0.52). The results indicate substantial stereoselectivity in the disposition of flobufen enantiomers in the rat, which is, at least in part, attributed to chiral bioconversion. 相似文献

To date, 18 genera of imperfect and ascomycetous fungi have been recognized to produce ca. 700 individual sequences of peptaibiotics. These are linear polypeptide antibiotics which i) have a molecular weight between 500 and 2,200 Dalton, thus containing 5-21 residues; ii) show a high content of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid; iii) are characterized by the presence of other nonproteinogenic amino acids and/or lipoamino acids; iv) possess an acylated N-terminus, and v) have a C-terminal residue that, in most of them, consists of a free or acetylated amide-bonded 1,2-amino alcohol, but might also be an amine, amide, free amino acid, 2,5-dioxopiperazine, or sugar alcohol. From April 2003 until present, ca. 300 new individual sequences of peptaibiotics have been published in the literature, but most of them have not yet been included in databases. To summarize these new sequences and novel constituents, as well as to introduce fungal species hitherto unknown as producers of peptaibiotics, the relevant literature is reviewed. Furthermore, ecophysiological and taxonomic aspects of the producing fungi are discussed. 相似文献

Hypopigmenting agents: an updated review on biological, chemical and clinical aspects 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

An overview of agents causing hypopigmentation in human skin is presented. The review is organized to put forward groups of biological and chemical agents. Their mechanisms of action cover (i) tyrosinase inhibition, maturation and enhancement of its degradation; (ii) Mitf inhibition; (iii) downregulation of MC1R activity; (iv) interference with melanosome maturation and transfer; (v) melanocyte loss, desquamation and chemical peeling. Tyrosinase inhibition is the most common approach to achieve skin hypopigmentation as this enzyme catalyses the rate-limiting step of pigmentation. Despite the large number of tyrosinase inhibitors in vitro, only a few are able to induce effects in clinical trials. The gap between in-vitro and in-vivo studies suggests that innovative strategies are needed for validating their efficacy and safety. Successful treatments need the combination of two or more agents acting on different mechanisms to achieve a synergistic effect. In addition to tyrosinase inhibition, other parameters related to cytotoxicity, solubility, cutaneous absorption, penetration and stability of the agents should be considered. The screening test system is also very important as keratinocytes play an active role in modulating melanogenesis within melanocytes. Mammalian skin or at least keratinocytes/melanocytes co-cultures should be preferred rather than pure melanocyte cultures or soluble tyrosinase. 相似文献

Some key elements are common to two fundamental periodic regulatory processes; the circadian cycle and the cell cycle. Underlying mechanisms of coordination between the two processes are critical for proper cellular functioning and physiology. Disruption in the mechanisms of one process may affect the role of other that may direct critical physiological changes and may cause severe diseases like cancer, etc. More or less persuasive evidences evolve from the breast cancer research. In this mini review, we highlighted the molecular coordination’s of the elements of circadian cycle and the cell cycle and their altered expressions associated with the genesis and progression of breast cancer. 相似文献

Diniconazole [(E)-(RS)-1-(2,4,-dichlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol)] is a potent triazole fungicide. The enantioselective pharmacokinetics of diniconazole enantiomers in rabbits was studied via intravenous (i.v.) injection. The pharmacokinetics and the enantiomer fraction (EF) were determined using normal high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and a cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral stationary phase (CDMPC-CSP). The time-concentration curves in plasma were fitted by a two-compartment open mode. The results showed that the concentration of S-diniconazole in plasma decreased faster than that of R-diniconazole, and EFs increased with time after administration of racemic diniconazole (rac-diniconazole). The R-/S-enantiomer ratio of the area under the time-plasma concentration curve (AUC(0-infinity)) after administration was 1.52. The total plasma clearance value of S-enantiomer was 1.57-fold higher than that of the R-diniconazole. These results indicate substantial stereoselectivity in the kinetics of diniconazole enantiomers in rabbit. 相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of methadone were studied in beagle dogs (n = 4) following intravenous administration of the racemate (0.5 mg/kg) and of the individual (R)-(0.25 mg/kg) and (S)-enantiomers (0.25 mg/kg) using a stereospecific HPLC assay. There was no significant difference between the pharmacokinetic parameters of (R)-methadone and (S)-methadone following administration of the individual enantiomers. Stereoselective differences were evident following administration of the racemate (P values for differences in AUC and CL were 0.001 and 0.046, respectively) and the clearance of the (S)-enantiomer was increased when administered as part of the racemate (316 ± 81 vs 487 ± 128 ml/min, P = 0.04). The data suggest that stereoselective disposition including potential enantiomer–enantiomer interactions should be considered in pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic studies of (R,S)-methadone. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Trypanosoma rangeli, a parasite generally considered non-pathogenic for man, is the second species of human trypanosome to be reported from the New World. The geographical distribution of T. rangeli often overlaps with that of T. cruzi, the same vertebrate and invertebrate hosts being infected. Their differentiation thus becomes of real, practical importance, particularly as they share approximately half the antigenic determinants recognized by the humoral response. Little is known about the life cycle of T. rangeli in the vertebrate host, although thousands of human and wild animal infections have been reported. Recent studies have revealed 2 major phylogenetic lineages in T. rangeli having different characteristics, thus leading to better understanding of the epidemiology and interactions with this parasite's vertebrate hosts and triatomine vectors. Based on further genetic characterization analysis, the authors have proposed 2 alternative hypotheses and consider that T. rangeli could have had clonal evolution or have been subjected to speciation processes. 相似文献

Stereoselective aspects of pharmacokinetics and metabolism of a chiral nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug, flobufen, 4-(2', 4'-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-2-methyl-4-oxobutanoic acid, were studied in male guinea pigs after p.o. administration of racemic flobufen (rac-flobufen) at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Blood samples were collected at intervals over 16 h after the administration of rac-flobufen for the quantification of flobufen enantiomers and their respective metabolites in plasma by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was used to determine pharmacokinetic parameters of R- and S-flobufen. The plasma concentrations of the S- and R-enantiomers differed significantly during the experimental period. The S/R-enantiomeric ratio in 7plasma reached a maximum value of 10.1 at 240 min postdose. The oral clearance value of R-flobufen was five times higher than S-flobufen. The other pharmacokinetic parameters (K(e), T(1/2), V(SS)/F, MRT) of the enantiomers also differed substantially. All four stereoisomers of the dihydrometabolite of flobufen were detected in plasma with varying concentrations. Metabolite 17203 [4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-phenylacetic acid] exhibited a relatively longer residence time compared to that noted for the enantiomers of the parent compound. Pharmacokinetics of the flobufen enantiomers were stereoselective in guinea pigs. The metabolism of flobufen was complex. However, metabolite 17203 seemed to be the main metabolite of flobufen that may be responsible for its relatively long-lasting antiphlogistic and immunomodulatory effects. 相似文献

Studies to characterize the pharmacokinetics of the enantiomers of MDMA were conducted in rats using the iliac arterial cannulation. Two routes of administration, intravenous and subcutaneous, were evaluated at two dose levels for each route [20 and 40 mg/kg (+/-)-MDMA for subcutaneous, 10 and 20 mg/kg (+/-)-MDMA for intravenous administrations]. The average half-life (+/- SD) for all dosing groups was 2.5 +/- 0.8 h for (-)-(R)-MDMA and 2.2 +/- 0.8 h for (+)-(S)-MDMA. The more rapid clearance of (+)-(S)-MDMA compared with (-)-(R)-MDMA is consistent with the area under the curve (AUC) data of the parent drug and its primary metabolite MDA. The mean (+/- SD) AUC S/R ratios of MDMA and MDA were 0.70 +/- 0.05 and 3.1 +/- 0.8, respectively. Following a 20 mg/kg dose of racemic MDMA iv the mean (+/- SD) of the percent dose excreted as (-)-(R)-MDMA, (+)-(S)-MDMA, (-)-(R)-MDA, and (+)-(S)-MDA were 20 +/- 10, 12 +/- 6, 3 +/- 1, and 6 +/- 2, respectively. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor peptides, play an important role in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, which has been demonstrated to promote the development of cancer. The purpose of our study is to assess the association between circulation insulin-like growth factor peptides and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. We searched Medline, EMBASE, OVID and Web of Science and picked up epidemiological studies that satisfied our inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis of 19 epidemiological studies containing 5,155 cases and 9,420 controls related with the association of circulation insulin-like growth factor peptides and CRC risk was carried out. Meta-analysis showed that high level IGF-I and IGF-II significantly increased CRC risk, (OR = 1.25, 95 % CI: 1.08–1.45 for IGF-I; OR = 1.52, 95 % CI: 1.16–2.01 for IGF-II; OR = 0.85, 95 % CI: 0.70–1.03 for IGFBP-1; OR = 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.41–1.43 for IGFBP-2 and OR = 0.88, 95 % CI: 0.71–1.10 for IGFBP-3). Subgroup analysis showed that the increased cancer risk by IGF-I was more distinguished in colon cancer (OR = 1.35, 95 % CI: 1.04–1.75) and Caucasian (OR = 1.32, 95 % CI: 1.12–1.56). Our meta-analysis provides comprehensive support for a role of circulation IGF-I and IGF-II in the etiology of CRC. 相似文献

Cyclodextrins in drug delivery: An updated review 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The purpose of this review is to discuss and summarize some of the interesting findings and applications of cyclodextrins
(CDs) and their derivatives in different areas of drug delivery, particularly in protein and peptide drug delivery and gene
delivery. The article highlights important CD applications in the design of various novel delivery systems like liposomes,
microspheres, microcapsules, and nanoparticles. In addition to their well-known effects on drug solubility and dissolution,
bioavailability, safety, and stability, their use as excipients in drug formulation are also discussed in this article. The
article also focuses on various factors influencing inclusion complex formation because an understanding of the same is necessary
for proper handling of these versatile materials. Some important considerations in selecting CDs in drug formulation such
as their commercial availability, regulatory status, and patent status are also summarized. CDs, because of their continuing
ability to find several novel applications in drug delivery, are expected to solve many problems associated with the delivery
of different novel drugs through different delivery routes.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a diverse 3D x-ray imaging technique that has gained significant popularity in dental radiology in the last two decades. CBCT overcomes the limitations of traditional two-dimensional dental imaging and enables accurate depiction of multiplanar details of maxillofacial bony structures and surrounding soft tissues. In this review article, we provide an updated status on dental CBCT imaging and summarise the technical features of currently used CBCT scanner models, extending to recent developments in scanner technology, clinical aspects, and regulatory perspectives on dose optimisation, dosimetry, and diagnostic reference levels. We also consider the outlook of potential techniques along with issues that should be resolved in providing clinically more effective CBCT examinations that are optimised for the benefit of the patient. 相似文献

Stereoselective pharmacokinetics of indobufen from tablets and intramuscular injections in man 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Główka FK 《Chirality》2000,12(1):38-42
The influence of administration route (oral or intramuscular (i.m.)) on the pharmacokinetics of total indobufen (INDB) enantiomers was studied in healthy volunteers after a 200 mg dose as a single oral tablet or i.m. injection. Enantiospecific reversed phase (RP) HPLC with UV detection was used for the determination of INDB enantiomers in serum. INDB enantiomers were isolated from serum by solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure using C(18) columns. INDB enantiomers were converted to their L-leucinamide diastereoisomers and separated on a C(18) HPLC column. INDB from i.m. injections is absorbed faster (t(max) = 0.6-0.9 h) than from tablets (t(max) = 1.3-1.8 h). The area under curve (AUC) after administration of the tablet was slightly higher than after i.m. injection. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of (+)-S- and (-)-R-INDB after administration of the tablet was different from i.m. injection of racemic INDB. The (+)-S-enantiomer is more rapidly eliminated than its (-)-R-antipode. Statistically significant differences also occurred between enantiomers in AUC, first order elimination rate constant (k), clearance (Cl). The ratio AUC(R):AUC(S) was similar for the tablet (1.57-1.62) and i.m. injection (1.59-1.62). It was concluded that the formulation and extent of ionisation of rac-INDB (acid or sodium salt of INDB) do not significantly influence its stereoselective pharmacokinetics. 相似文献
