Radiation Effects on Methamphetamine Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Rats
ConclusionsWhile 1 –6 Gy radiation exposure did not affect methamphetamine elimination, 6 Gy exposure had effects on both subcutaneous absorption and brain distribution. These effects should be considered when administering drugs during or after radiation exposure. (Source: European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics)

Acyclovir Brain Disposition: Interactions with P-gp, Bcrp, Mrp2, and Oat3 at the Blood –Brain Barrier
ConclusionThe present study demonstrated that P-gp, Bcrp, Mrp2, and Oat3 inhibition increased the penetration of acyclovir across the BBB, supporting the hypothesis that these efflux pumps restrict the distribution of acyclovir in the brain.
