Hepatic Transporters Alternations Associated with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): A Systematic Review
ConclusionSince extensive changes in hepatic transporters could alter the pharmacokinetics of the drugs and potentially affect the safety and efficacy of drugs, close monitoring of drug administration is highly suggested in patients with NASH.

Effect of Carbidopa Dose on Levodopa Pharmacokinetics With and Without Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Inhibition in Healthy Subjects
ConclusionsIncreasing carbidopa doses significantly increased the exposure and reduced the fluctuation of IR levodopa in plasma during simultaneous COMT inhibition with entacapone. Theoretical pharmacokinetic simulations suggested that the plasma profile of oral IR levodopa can be even further improved by optimizing AADC and COMT inhibition.

Population Pharmacokinetics and Dosing Simulations of Intravenous Oxycodone for Perioperative Pain Relief in Adult Surgical Patients with Obesity
ConclusionsA population pharmacokinetic model using total body weight as a covariate supports the administration of 0.10 mg/kg of intravenous oxycodone as a starting dose and repeated doses of 0.02 mg/kg at 1.5-h intervals to maintain targeted plasma concentrations for analgesia in the obese adult population.

Evaluating Islatravir Administered Via Microneedle Array Patch for Long-Acting HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Using Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling
ConclusionsThe ISL PBPK model successfully predicted ISL and ISL-TP pharmacokinetics across a range of orally administered regimens. The integrated intradermal PBPK model outlined optimal MAP dose and nanoparticle release rates for effective ISL-TP concentrations up to 12 months, providing justification for further investigation of ISL as a candidate for MAP administration.

Development and Validation of a Length- and Habitus-Based Method of Ideal and Lean Body Weight Estimation for Adults Requiring Urgent Weight-Based Medical Intervention
ConclusionsThe modified PAWPER XL-MAC model proved to be an accurate method of IBW and LBW estimation. It could, therefore, have an important role in facilitating emergency drug dose calculations in obese adult patients. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)
