This study was attempted to investigate the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine (10mg/kg, oral) in rabbits with $CCI_4$ and bile duct ligation-induced hepatic disorder. The area under the curve (AUC) of blood cyclosporine concentration versus time was significantly increased ($CCI_4$-induced hepatic disorder. Elimination rate constant (Kel) was significantly decreased (p<0.05, p<0.01) in rabbits with $CCI_4$ and bile duct ligation-induced hepatic disorder. Volume of distribution (Vdss) and total body clearance (CLtot) were significantly decreased (p<0.01) in rabbits with $CCI_4$-induced hepatic disorder. But Vdss was significantly increased (p4-induced hepatic disorder were 874ng/ml and 2.71 hr, respectively. Cmax and Tmax values in rabbits with bile duct ligation were 105ng/ml and 2.834 hr, respectively. From results of this experiment. It is desirable to do therapeutic drug monitoring of cyclosporine for effective treatment when the cyclosporine is administered to patients with liver disorder m clinical practice.

Objective: To develop a population pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) model for alcohol in healthy volunteers and to elucidate individual characteristics to affects alcohol's PK or PD including dissolved oxygen. Methods: Following multiple intakes of total 540 mL alcohol (19.42 v/v%) to healthy volunteer, blood alcohol concentration was measured using a Breathe alcohol analyser (Lion SD-400 $Alcolmeter^{(R)}$). A sequential population PK/PD modeling was performed using NONMEM (ver 7.3). Results: Eighteen healthy volunteer were included in the study. PK model of alcohol was well explained by one-compartment model with first-order absorption and Michaelis-Menten elimination kinetics. $K_a$, V/F, $V_{max}$, $K_m$ is $8.1hr^{-1}$, 73.7 L, 9.65 g/hr, 0.041 g/L, respectively. Covariate analysis revealed that gender significantly influenced $V_{max}$ (Male vs Female, 9.65 g/hr vs 7.38 g/hr). PD model of temporary systolic blood pressure decreasing effect of alcohol was explained by biophase model with inhibitory $E_{max}$ model. $K_{e0}$, $I_{max}$, $E_0$, $IC_{50}$ were $0.23hr^{-1}$, 44.9 mmHg, 138 mmHg, 0.693 g/L, respectively. Conclusion: Model evaluation results suggested that this PK/PD model was robust and has good precision.

An intravenous pharmacokinetics for a new red cell substitute, PEG-hemoglobin SB1, was studied in SD rats. Total-hemoglobin and its metabolite methemoglobin in the plasma were determined using a spectrophotometer. The limit of quantitation was 0.01g/dL and the C.V for interday assay reproducibility was less than 6%. Upon intravenous administration of anticipated clinical dose, 10 ml(0.7 gHb)/kg, plasma concentration curve of total-hemoglobin was well described by one-compartment model. The $t_{\frac{1}{2}},{\;}CL_{t}$, Vd and $AUC^{0-48hr}$ were $8.23{\pm}0.96{\;}hr,{\;}0.06{\;}{\pm}{\;}0.01 {\;}dL/hr/kg,{\;}0.66{\pm}0.05{\;}dL/lg{\;}and{\;}13.6{\;}{\pm}{\;}1.01g{\cdot}hr/dL$, respectively, in male rats(n=5, $mean{\;}{\pm}{\;}SD$). Those parameters in female rats were $9.21{\;}\pm{\;}2.31{\;}hr,{\;}0.06{\;}{\pm}{\;}0.01{\;}dL/hr/kg,{\;}0.79{\pm}{\;}0.08{\;}dL/kg{\;}and{\;}13.0{\;}{\pm}{\;}2.36{\;}g{\cdot}hr/dL$, respectively. Similar kinetic profiles between males and females were also obtained from other parameters. Small amount of methemoglobin, an oxidative metabolite of SB1, was detected in the plasma of both sexes, where the $AUC^{0-48{\;}hr,m}$ and $t_{{\frac{1}{2}},m}$ were approximately $1.5{\;}g{\cdot}hr/dL$ and 20 hr, respectively. The present work provides a critical kinetic data for the effective clinical applications of PEG-hemoglobin SB1.

Methotrexate(MTX)는 소아 골육종 환자에서 $12g/m^2$의 고용량을 사용하고 있다. 현재, 소아 골육종 환자에서 신기 능에 따른 고용량 MTX의 임상 약동학은 연구되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신기능에 따른 MTX 약동학을 이용하여 구내염을 최소화하는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 환자들의 의무기록지를 후향적 방법으로 검토하였다. 한 병원에서 골육종으로 진단받고, 치료 받은 환자들을 대상으로 정상 신기능군과 비정상 신기능군으로 나누었다. 두 군에 MTX 투여 후 혈중 농도를 각각 비교하였고, 최고 혈중농도도 비교하였다. 혈중 농도와 구내염의 관련성, CL, AUC와 구내염의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 각 군의 terminal half-life, CL, Vss의 평균과 mea residence time(MRT)의 평균을 구하였고, 두 군간 각각을 비교하였다 $({\alpha}=0.05)$. 결과: 환자는 6명이었고, 평가 가능한 총 MTX 투여 회수는 34회였다. MTX 투여 후 최고혈중 농도, 24,48 시간의 혈중농도는 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 있었고, 72,96 시간에서의 농도는 두 군간 유의성이 없었다. 각 군에서 혈중농도와 구내염의 상관관계, 그리고 CL, AUC와 구내염의 상관관계는 발견되지 않았다. Vss를 제외한 모든 파라미터들(terminal half-life, CL, MRT)은 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이가 있었다. 결론: 비정상 신기능 군에서 MTX 투여 시작 후 24, 48 시간에서의 혈중농도가 더 높고, 변동이 심했다. 또한 MTX의 CL는 감소했고, 혈중농도는 증가하였다. 이러한 사실로 MTX 투여 전 후 혈중 크레아티닌이나 또는 크레아티닌 청소율 모니터링이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있으며, MTX 투여가 끝난 직후 그리고 그 이후 24 시간 간격으로 혈중 농도를 측정해야함을 알 수 있다.

Background: Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent used to treat and prevent graft versus host reaction (GVHR)-a complication associated with stem cell transplantation. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of cyclosporine and investigate factors affecting cyclosporine clearance in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. Methods: A total of 650 cyclosporine concentrations recorded in 65 patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were used. Data including age, sex, weight, height, body surface area (BSA), type of disease, chemotherapy before stem cell transplantation, type of donor, serum creatinine levels, total bilirubin concentration, hematocrit value, and type of concomitant anti-fungal agents and methylprednisolone used were retrospectively collected. Data related to cyclosporine dosage, administration time, and blood concentration were also collected. All data were analyzed using the non-linear mixed effect model; a two-compartment model with first-order elimination was used. Results: The population pharmacokinetic model of cyclosporine using the NONMEM program was as follows: $CL(L/h)=5.9{\times}(BSA/1.2)^{0.9}$, V2 (L) = 54.5, Q (L/h) = 3.5, V3 (L) = 1080.0, $k_a(h^{-1})=0.000377$. BSA was selected as a covariate of cyclosporine clearance, which increased with an increase in BSA. Conclusion: A population pharmacokinetic model for Korean pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients was developed, and the important factor affecting cyclosporine clearance was found to be BSA. The model might contribute to the development of the most appropriate dosing regimen for cyclosporine. Further studies on population pharmacokinetics should be carried out, prospectively targeting pediatric patients.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nimodipine on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin after oral and intravenous administration of warfarin in rats. Methods: Warfarin was administered orally (0.2 mg/kg) or intravenously (0.05 mg/kg) without or with oral administration of nimodipine (0.5 or 2 mg/kg) in rats. The effect of nimodipine on the P-glycoprotein as well as cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activity was also evaluated. Results: Nimodipine inhibited CYP3A4 enzyme activity with 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of $10.2{\mu}M$. Compared to those animals in the oral control group (warfarin without nimodipine), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of warfarin was significantly greater (0.5 mg/kg, P<0.05; 2 mg/kg, P<0.01) by 31.3-57.6%, and the peak plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) was significantly higher (2 mg/kg, P<0.05) by 29.4% after oral administration of warfarin with nimodipine, respectively. Consequently, the relative bioavailability of warfarin increased by 1.31- to 1.58-fold and the absolute bioavailability of warfarin with nimodipine was significantly greater by 64.1-76.9% compared to that in the control group (48.7%). In contrast, nimodipine had no effect on any pharmacokinetic parameters of warfarin given intravenously. Conclusion: Therefore, the enhanced oral bioavailability of warfarin may be due to inhibition of CYP 3A4-mediated metabolism rather than P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux by nimodipine.
