Pfoar Executive Summary

Improved Essays
Table 2 lists the pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from the plasma concentrations of the three PFCs in rats that received a single IV and oral administration of PFOA (1 mg/kg), PFOS (2 mg/kg), and PFHxS (4 mg/kg). The concentration–time profiles of 3 PFCs are shown in Figure 4. The one- or two-compartment model best fitted the majority of the data. The pharmacokinetic parameters of PFOA were estimated after a single oral and IV administration of 1 mg PFOA/kg body weight and followed up for 24 h. The one-compartment model was best fitted for PFOA. After the oral administration to female rats, the Cmax and AUC0-∞ were 5.41 ± 0.38 µg/mL and 37.20 ± 2.50 µg·h/mL. The t1/2, V/F, and CL/F were 3.49 ± 0.19 h, 135.51 ± 13.31 mL/kg, and 26.88 ± 1.81 mL/h, respectively. …show more content…
The t1/2, V, and CL were 4.65 ± 0.24 h, 171.37 ± 11.19 mL/kg, and 25.54 ± 1.36 mL/h, respectively. For the PFOS study, the pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated after a single oral and IV administration of 2 mg PFOS/kg body weight and followed up for 70 days. The PFOS data were well fitted with two-compartment model. The Cmax and AUC0-∞ of PFOS after the oral administration were 6.71 ± 0.31 µg/mL and 6547.06 ± 507.93 µg·h/mL, respectively. The t1/2, V, and CL/F were 634.98 ± 68.97 h, 279.85 ± 17.34 mL/kg, and 0.31 ± 0.02 mL/h, respectively. In the case of IV administration of PFOS to the female rats, the AUC0-∞ was 5195.18 ± 217.29 …show more content…
In addition, a simple and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method was successfully developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS in rat plasma and tissues. We believe that the present study could be used to develop physiologically-based pharmacokinetics of perfluorinated

    Similarly, rapid absorption was demonstrated in rats, monkeys and guinea pigs. No data were available regarding the distribution of PAHs in humans. In-vivo, PAHs appear to be widely distributed following both inhalation and ingestion, as levels have been detected in several organs (IPCS, 1998; ASTDR, 1995). Following oral exposure in rats B(a)P was measured in the kidney, caecum, small intestine, trachea, stomach and testes, whereas following inhalation, levels were measured in the liver, oesophagus, stomach and small intestine, and later in the large intestine and caecum (ASTDR, 1990, 1990a 1990b; DEFRA, 2002; RAIS, 1994).

    The volume of distribution (Vd) of the drug was higher in the central compartment (V1) than in the peripheral compartment (V2) (52.7 mL/kg and 19.0 mL/kg respectively) (Fasanmade, 2011). This is as expected as the drug is administered in the blood and binds to the TNF molecules found on the surface of cells that are found close by to the blood vessels of the GI tract. Weight effects the PK properties of Infliximab. There is a positive correlation between the weight of the patient and the total CL and total Vd.…

    ADME: Patients undergoing a positive therapy with vincristine sulphate are reported to suffer from central nervous leukemia. This means that vincristine doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier well. Pharmacokinetic studies in patients with cancer have exposed that when one is treated with a quick intravenous injection of vincristine a triphasic serum decay sequence is noticed. The range of terminal half–life in humans is from 19 to 155 hours. As the liver is an important organ in the metabolism and excretion of drugs, vincristine metabolism has shown to be mediated by the hepatic cytochrome P450 isoenzymes in the CYP 3A subfamily.…

    Metabolism: The following section will discuss the ways in which the body metabolizes barbiturates, to be more precise, the pharmacokinetics of barbiturates. Pharmacokinetics refers to how the body absorbs, distributes, binds, localizes, stores and excretes a drug (Tripathi, 2013). Factors such as absorption, distribution, and metabolism are variables that determine the drugs onset of effect and duration (Meyer & Quenzer, 2013). Barbiturates come in the form of capsules or antiesthetic, and can be administered orally, intravenously, intramuscularly or rectally.…

    The surge function made it simple to see a general absorption/clearance rate and maximum concentration level of a drug, despite not considering different physical features of individuals. Laxatives were researched, and a mathematical model (Figure 7 and 8) were made to represent fast acting medical grade and slow acting non-prescribed Laxatives. Furthermore, the effect of changing certain parameters (‘’ and ‘’) on the drugs bloodstream concentration, time of administration, absorption rate and clearance rate, were clearly…

    A drug’s effect is often related to its concentration at the site of action, so it would be useful to monitor this concentration. Receptor sites of drugs are generally inaccessible to our observations or are widely distributed in the body, therefore direct measurement of drug concentrations at these sites is not practical. For example, the receptor sites for digoxin are thought to be within the myocardium. Obviously we cannot directly sample drug concentration in this tissue. However, we can measure drug concentration in the blood or plasma, urine, saliva, and other easily sampled fluids (Figure 1-1).…

    Phase Solubility Essay

    Phase Solubility results The phase-solubility diagram (figure 1) obtained was classified as AL type(20) because the apparent solubility of ISH increased linearly with β-CD concentration over the entire concentration range studies, thereby suggesting the formation of a water soluble complex. A slope value of less than one indicated that an inclusion complex in a molar stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 was formed between the drug and β-CD in solution. The stability constant (718.58 M–1), computed from the slope and intercept of the phase solubility diagram, indicated considerable interaction between the hydrophobic drug and the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD. The values of stability constants described in the literature ranged from 100 to 20,000 M–1 for…

    Enantiomeric purity The enantiomeric purity is an important issue to produce pharmaceutical products of acceptable quality. The mobile phase was optimized to discriminate ESO and S-NAP from their chiral impurity (R-isomer). For checking the method ability to separate the chiral impurities from the active isomers of each drug, spiking of the prepared pure S-NAP and ESO isomers with their corresponding racemic mixtures at 1%, 2% and 5% levels of the main peak was done. Method optimization was done in order to achieve sufficient resolution and detecting the R isomer at low levels of the main peak, S isomer.…

    It is obvious that the change in the buffer pH changed the retention times of the drugs slightly (Fig. 2e), Furthermore, the pKa values for VAL are 3.9 for the carboxylic group, and 4.7 for the tetrazole-NH group while for SAC, 4.6 is its pKa [17], so the chosen pH should be away from the pKa values of the compounds of concern. At higher pH than 7, broad peak of VAL was obtained. So pH 3 is the optimum pH to be used during the study as reported in other literature for VAL[8-11]…

    F patients, it may lead to a decrease in the bioavailability of theophylline and higher doses could be required. Secondly, theophylline is metabolised in the liver via cytochrome P450, as a result it involves in a lot of drug interactions. Therefore, monitoring by a clinical pharmacist is necessary with this medication (Dipiro et al., 2008). Additionally, when using inhaled drugs, clinical pharmacists can assist in determining a number of factors such as if it is suitable to give inhalers as a combination, which inhaler can be given with the others and which cannot (Kerem, Conway, Elborn & Heijerman, 2005). Mucolytic Therapies, such as dornase alfa and hypertonic saline, are also used to decrease sputum viscosity and enhance clearance.…
