Effects of Ssang Wha Tang (SWT), a blended Chinese traditional medicine, on the pharmacokinetics of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) were studied in the rats. BSP was administered via portal vein to the control and the SWT-treated rats. The in vitro distribution of BSP to blood cells and the hemato-physiological conditions, liver weight, GOT. GPT activity were also examined. The systemic clearance $(CL_s)$ of BSP was increased with the administration of SWT, but no significant differences were observed in the liver weight and in vitro distribution of BSP to blood cells. These results suggest that the intrinsic clearance of free BSP of the liver is increased with the administration of SWT in the rats.

The pharmacokinetics of prunasin after oral administration of amygdalin or a decoction of peach seeds was determined and compared in rats. A $C_{18}$ column was used for separation at a column temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase consisted of 20% aqueous acetonitrile, and the flow rate was 0.5 mL/min. After oral administration of a decoction of peach seeds, prunasin was absorbed rapidly, reaching a maximum plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) of 62.1 mg/L within 45 min. After oral administration of amygdalin, the absorption of prunasin was delayed. The $C_{max}$ of prunasin was 42.9 mg/L and was reached at 60 min. Values for the pharmacokinetic parameters of prunasin, including $T_{max}$, $C_{max}$, AUC, $T_{1/2}$, CL/F, and V1/F, were significantly different for the oral administration of amygdalin compared with that of a decoction of peach seeds.

The analytical methods for the analysis of cyclosporine (CsA), a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) and HPLC method, were compared in a pharmacokinetic study of two CsA soft capsule formultaions ($Sandimmun^{\circledR}$; Sandoz, $Implanta^{\circledR}$; Hanmi). Sixteen healthy volunteers completed the study and each subjected single doses ($4{\tiems}100$ mg) of the test and the reference formulations in a two-way crossover design with a one-week drug-free interval between doses. Following each administration, whole blood concentrations of CsA were monitored over a period of 24 hour by both FPIA and HPLC methods. Blood concentrations nad pharmacokinetic parameters determined by either analytical method showed large intersubject variation, with the FPIA data showing relatively higher magnitude of intersubjecte variation than the HPLC data. The blood concentrations determined by FPIA were 1.1-1.3 times higher than those determined by HPLC. There were strong and significant correlations between the two methods (r>0.83 : p<0.0001). Intersubuject variation for the $AUC_{inf}{\;}and{\;}AUC_{24hr}$ of the test formulation was slightly reduced without statistical significance (paried -t test : p>0.05 $t_{max}$ was earlier nad $C_{max}$ was slightly lower for the test formulation, $AUC_{24h}, {\;}C_{max}, {\;}T_{max}$ and MRT determined separately from the data obtained by the two methods for the two formulations were examined by analyses of variance (ANOVA) for the bioequivalency evaluation. Results of ANOVA and confidence limits of terst/reference ratios of $AUC_{24th}$, $C_{max}$, $t_{max}$ and MRT, and statistical tests indicated the bioequivalence of the two formulations (i.e., test/reference ratio was within $100{\times}20%$) except for $C_{max}$ and $t_{max}$. The mean of tmax also showed 11.1% and 9.3% differences but the detection limit were 29.2% and 29.6% as determined by FPIA and HPLC resepctively. This experiments suggest that the data yielded for the two formulations demonstrated that they were bioequivalent.

Theophylline은 methylxanthine계열 기관지확장제중 가장 강력하며 기관지 천식이나 만성 폐쇄성 호흡기 질환환자에서 사용된다. Theophylline은 치료지수가 5-20 mg/L로 매우 좁은 치료지수를 갖는 약물이다. Cimetidine과 theophylline은 주로 간에 존재하는 cytochrome P450 (CYP) 효소에 의해 대사되며 theophylline은 유전적 다형성이 보고된 바있는 CYP1A2에 의해 대부분 대사된다. 본 연구는 theophylline의 약동학에 미치는 cimetidine의 영향을 평가하고 CYP1A2 유전적 다형성의 영향유무를 검증하였다. 8명의 건강한 비흡연자인 한국인 자원자를 모집하여 공개, 2기 교차시험을 실시하였다. 8명의 자원자에게 1기 시험의 첫날 100 mg의 aminophylline을 경구로 단회 투여하였으며 약물투여 후 36시간까지 채혈하여 혈장을 보관하였다. 공혈장 채취를 위해 채혈한 혈액중 일부를 가지고 유전자형 검색을 실시하였다. 1주일의 휴약기를 거친 후 2기 시험을 진행하였다. 2기 시험의 첫날 같은 용량의 aminophylline과 200 mg의 cimetidine을 같이 경구로 단회 투여하였다. 혈장 중 theophylline농도는 고성능 액체 크로마토그래피를 이용하여 측정하였으며 1기와 2기 시험에서 각종 약동학적 경수를 컴퓨터를 이용하여 계산하였다. 8명의 자원자에서 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 유전자형 검색을 실시하였다. 8명(남자 4명, 여자 4명)의 자원자에서 약물과 관련한 약물이상 반응은 시험기간동안 발생하지 않았다. 약동학적 분석에서 theophylline의 혈장 농도 곡선하 면적(AUC)와 최고혈중농도($C_{max}$)가 cimetidine과 theophylline을 동시에 투여하였을 때 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였으며 경구 청소율(CL/F)은 유의하게 감소하였다. 8명의 CYP1A2 유전자형 검색에서 돌연변이 유전자형은 발견하지 못하였으며 CYP1A2*1C 유전자형 검색에서 모두 (G/G) homozygote였으며 CYP1A2*1F 유전자형 검색에서는 5명이 (A/A) homozygote이고 3명이 (A/C) heterozygote였다. 따라서 theophylline대사에 CYP1A2유전자형에 따른 대사능의 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과를 요약하면 theophylline의 약동학은 cimetidine에 의해 유의한 차이를 보였으며 CYP1A2유전자형에 따른 영향은 관찰할 수 없었다. CYP1A2유전자형에 따른 생체내 대사능을 관찰하는 실험이 향후 이루어 져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The study was designed to evaluate the significant roles of SSRI in rat of depression model. Chronic exposure to mild unpredictable stress has been found to depress the consumption of sweet 1% sucrose solutions in the Sprague-Dawley rats. We applied the variety of 11 types of stress regimens and identified depressive behaviours(developed by Willner) in 70 Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats in experiments were stratified into 6 groups, ie ; 3 kinds of SSRI(paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline), clomipramine, choline and saline control. Memory function was evaluated by passive avoidance learning and retention test. The authors determined how long memory retention would remain improved with 24 hour, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks at training-testing interval in depressive states of the Sprague-Dawley rats. The results were as follows ; 1) There were no significant differences between the 6 groups at the 24 hour training-testing interval. 2) The paroxetine treated group showed significant differences from the control group at the 1 week and 2 weeks training-testing interval. 3) The paroxetine and the fluoxetine treated groups showed singificant differences from the control group at 3 week training-testing interval. 4) The paroxetine and the choline treated groups showed significant differences from the control group at 4 week training-testing interval. In summary, paroxetine had an effect on long term memory processing from 1st week to 4th week. Also, fluoxetine(at 3rd week) and choline(at 4th week) had effect on long term memory processing. Sertraline, clomipramine were ineffective on memory processing during 4 weeks observation. Possible explanations why paroxetine had early effect on memory processing than the other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are rapid bioavailability, which is the characteristics of pharmacokinetics of paroxetine. In clinical situation, author carefully suggest that SSRI would be beneficial to improve the memory function caused by depressive neurochemical changes.

Bioequivalence (BE) test of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) tablets was performed. Normal healthy male volunteers (n = 20) were randomly divided into 2 groups, and reference $(Nissel{\circledR})$ and test $(Livital{\circledR})$ tablets of DDB $(25mg{\times}8\;Tab.\;= \;200\;mg)$ were given orally by balanced two-period cross-over design. The serum concentration was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters, AUC, $C_{max}$, and $T_{max}$ obtained after drug administration were statistically analyzed. Statistical evaluation of the data involved an analysis of variance (ANOVA) for cross-over design. The results were within 20% differences of mean value in AUC, $C_{max}$, and $T_{max}$ between reference and test tablets. The results of ANOVA showed no significant differences for "between group or subject" and "period". The test tablet was bioequivalent with the reference tablet in the AUC, $C_{max}$, and $T_{max}$.

실험동물을 이용한 생식독성시험 결과를 기초로 하여 화학물질의 인체내 최기형성 발현 잠재력을 추정하는 질적인 독성평가는 비교적 용이하다. 그러나 인체에 실제로 적용할 수 있는 생식 독성 평가를 위해서는 양적인 독성평가가 요구되는데 여러가지 기본원칙의 불일치성과 검색기술등의 부조으로 아직 학문적인 평가가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 seminar에서는 양적인 독성 평가의 어려운 문제점에 대한 세계적 연구추세를 소개하는 일례로서, 독일 베를린 자유대 독성학 연구소에서 다년간 수행된, 약제의 동물실험결과를 토대로 최기형 효과에 대한 평가시 고려해야 할 제반요소와 원칙에 대해 다음과 같이 소개하고자 한다.

The bioequivalence and pharmacokinetics of alendronate sodium tablets were examined by determining the plasma concentration of alendronate. Two groups, consisting of 24 healthy volunteers, each received a 70 mg reference alendronate sodium tablet and a test tablet in a $2{\times}2$ crossover study. There was a 6-day washout period between doses. The plasma alendronate concentration was monitored for 7 h after the dose, using HPLC-Fluorescence Detector (FD). The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last sampling time at 7 h $(AUC_{0-7h})$ was calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal rule. The maximum plasma drug concentration $(C_{max})$ and the time to reach $C_{max}(T_{max})$ were derived from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was performed using logarithmically transformed $AUC_{0-7h}\;and\;C_{max}$, and untransformed $T_{max}$. For the test medication versus the reference medication, the $AUC_{0-7h}\;were\;87.63{\pm}29.27\;vs.\;102.44{\pm}69.96ng\;h\;mL^{-1}$ and the $C_{max}$ values were $34.29{\pm}13.77\;vs.\;38.47{\pm}24.39ng\;mL^{-1}$ respectively. The $90\%$ confidence intervals of the mean differences of the logarithmic transformed $AUC_{0-7h}$ and $C_{max}$ values were log 0.8234-log 1.1597 and log 0.8222-log 1.1409, respectively, satisfying the bioequivalence criteria guidelines of both the US Food and Drug Administration and the Korea Food and Drug Administration. The other pharmacokinetic parameters for the test drug versus reference drug, respectively, were: $t_{1/2},\;1.87{\pm}0.62\;vs.\;1.77{\pm}0.54\;h;\;V/F,\;2061.30{\pm}986.49\;vs.\;2576.45{\pm}1826.05\;L;\;CL/F,\;835.32{\pm}357.35\;vs.\;889.48{\pm}485.87\;L\;h^{-1}; K_{el},\;0.42{\pm}0.14\;vs.\;0.40{\pm}0.18\;h^{-1};\;Ka,\;4.46{\pm}3.63\;vs.\;3.80{\pm}3.64\;h^{-1};\;and\;T_{lag},\;0.19{\pm}0.09\;vs.\;0.18{\pm}0.06\;h$. These results indicated that two alendronate formulations(70-mg alendronate sodium) were biologically equivalent and can be prescribed interchangeably.

This tutorial reviews the principles of dose individualisation with an emphasis on target concentration intervention (TCI). Once a target effect is chosen then pharmacodynamics can predict the target concentration and pharmacokinetics can predict the target dose to achieve the required response. Dose individualisation can be considered at three levels: population, group and individual. Population dosing, also known as fixed dosing or "one size fits all" is often used but is poor clinical pharmacology; group dosing uses patient features such as weight, organ function and comedication to adjust the dose for a typical patient; individual dosing uses observations of patient response to inform about pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics in the individual and use these individual differences to individualise dose.
