Anti-Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Monoclonal Antibodies in Migraine: Focus on Drug Interactions
AbstractCalcitonin gene-related peptide neurotransmission was the target for recent development of monoclonal antibodies that effectively prevent attacks of both episodic and chronic migraine. The aim of this narrative review was to offer deeper insight into drug-drug, drug-food and drug-disease interactions of monoclonal antibodies approved for prevention of migraine attacks. For this narrative review, relevant literature was searched for in MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases, covering the 1966 –2023 and 2006–2023 periods, respectively. The ClinicalTrials.gov database was also searched for relevant clinical studies ...

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of the Monoamine Oxidase B Inhibitor, HEC122505, and its Major Metabolite After Single- and  Multiple- Ascending Dose, and Food Effect Study in Healthy Chinese Subjects
ConclusionHEC122505 was generally safe and well tolerated in the single ascending dose (ranging from 5 to 400 mg) and multiple ascending dose (50 to 200 mg once daily doses) studies. All the drug related adverse events (AEs) were Grade ≤ 2. There were no deaths, no subjects discontinued the trial due to AEs, and there were no other serious AEs. The safety and pharmacokinetic profile support once daily administration of HEC122505. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Pharmacokinetic Study of Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles HY-088 in Rats
ConclusionsFollowing single intravenous administration of [55Fe]-HY-088 and [14C]-HY-088 in SD rats, rapid absorption was observed. Both [55Fe]-HY-088 and [14C]-HY-088 were primarily distributed in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. During metabolism, the radioactivity of [55Fe]-HY-088 is mainly present in the carcass, whereas the14C-labeled [14C]-HY-088 shell PAA is eliminated from the body mainly through the urine.

Pharmacokinetic –Pharmacodynamic Modelling in Hemophilia A: Relating Thrombin and Plasmin Generation to Factor VIII Activity After Administration of a VWF/FVIII Concentrate
ConclusionOur predictive performance displayed adequate thrombin pharmacodynamic predictions of the original model, but a new pharmacokinetic model was required. The pharmacodynamic model is not factor specific and applicable to multiple factor concentrates. A prospective study is needed to validate the impact of the FVIII dosing pharmacodynamic model on bleeding reduction in patients. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Optimizing Antibiotic Therapy for Intravenous Drug Users: A Narrative Review Unraveling Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Challenges
AbstractIntravenous drug users (IVDUs) face heightened susceptibility to life-threatening gram-positive bacterial infections, particularly methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus  aureus (MRSA). While the standard antibiotic dosing strategies for special patients, such as obese or critically ill individuals, are known to be inadequate, raising concerns about treatment efficacy, a similar sort of understanding has not been assessed for IVDUs yet. With this in mind, this review examines the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of antibiotics commonly used against gram-positive bacteria in IVDUs. Focusing on daptomyci...
