KR-67500, trans-4-(2-(4-methyl-1,1-dioxido-6-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1,2,6-thiadiazinan-2-yl)acetamido)adamantane-1-carboxamide, is a novel $11{\beta}$-HSD1 inhibitor with its therapeutic effects of its anti-diabetic, anti-adipogenic and anti-osteoporotic activity. This study was performed to evaluate in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic properties of KR-67500 as a new drug candidate. KR-67500 was stable and highly bound to proteins in rat plasma. The microsomal stabilities of KR-67500 in human and rat liver were high. The inhibitory effect of KR-67500 for five cytochrome P450 enzymes was low. Preclinical pharmacokinetic studies have been carried out with intravenous or oral administrations of KR-67500 (10 mg/kg) to male rats and monkey. KR-67500 showed low clearance (0.68 l/h/kg) and high oral bioavailability (102%) in male rats. These results suggest that KR-67500 has good drug-like pharmacokinetic properties with a low first-pass effect and high bioavailability for an oral therapeutic agent of diabetes and osteoporosis.

Pharmaceutical technology has primarily focused on the development of the best dosage forms depending on the route of administration. The design of dosage forms is greatly influenced by the route of administration. Due to a variety of advantages such as avoidance of first-pass effect, abundant blood supply and easy access to the absorption site, the oral cavity has frequently been selected as a site for drug delivery. Since the oral cavity is relatively unique from the anatomical and physiological viewpoint, one should always consider these conditions when designing the drug delivery systems for the oral cavity. In this regard, the current review paper was prepared to summarize the essential features of the drug delivery systems utilized in the oral cavity, along with the introduction of various dosage forms developed to date.

The pharmacokinetics and relationship between in vitro dissolution and in vivo fraction absorbed were investigated after intravenous(iv) injection of omeprazole(OMZ), oral administration of OMZ capsules and rectal administration of 8 types of suppositories. The plasma concentration of OMZ (C$_{p}$)-time (t) curve after iv. administration fitted a two-compartment open model and the equation which best fitted the pharmacokinetics of OMZ was $C_{p}$ = 13.936 $e^{-8.78t}$+2.973 $e^{-0.716t}$. The bioavailabilities of OMZ in Witepsol H15 base (Supp-2) and PEG 4000 base (Supp-6) suppositories were 40.7% and 33.4%, respectively, which are higher(p<0.001) than 13% of oral administration of capsule. The avoidance fractions of the first-pass metabolism for Supp-2 and Supp-6 suppositiories were 31.8% and 23.4%, respectively, suggesting that the rectal application of OMZ may be a more adequate route of administration than oral one.

Acebutolol is almost absorbed after oral administration, but its bioavailability is reduced because of considerable first-pass metabolism through the gastrointestinal tract and liver. The purpose of this study was to report the pharmacokinetic changes of acebutolol (15 mg/kg,oral) and its main metabolite, diacetolol in rabbits pretreated (15 mg/kg, oral) and coadministered (15 mg/kg, S. C., bid for 3 days) with diltiazem. The plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) of acebutolol and diacetolol were significantly increased in rabbits pretreated and coadministered with diltazem. The elimination rate constant ( $K_{el}$ ) and total body clearances (CL $_{t}$) of acebutolol and diacetolol were significantly decreased and half-life of those were significantly prolonged in the rabbit. Metabolite percentage rate of diacetolol to the plasma concentration of total acebutolol in rabbits pretreated and coadministered with diltiazem were significantly decreased. The results suggest that the dosage of acebutolol should be adjusted when the drug would be administered chronically with diltiazem in a clinical situation.n.

$5HT_{2C}$ receptor among fourteen 5-HT subtypes plays important roles in several disorders such as depression, anxiety, epilepsy, schizophrenia and sleep disorders. The purpose of the study is to investigate pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of a newly synthesized selective agonist of $5-HT_{2C}$ receptor, KOPC-20010 (KP10) in rats after intravenous and oral administration for the development of therapeutic anti-obesity agents. KP10 was administered orally (40 mg/kg) or intravenously (20 mg/kg), blood was collected via a catheter, and analyzed by GC/MSD. The calibration curve of KP10 in plasma and urine showed high linearity ($r^2$ >0.999). The retention times of KP10 in plasma and urine were 8.7 and 9.7 min, respectively. After oral administration of 40 mg/kg, pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated as follows; $C_{max}$ value was $1242.9{\pm}1195.5$ ng/mL at $1.1{\pm}0.6$ hr ($T_{max}$). $AUC_{0->24hr}$ and $AUC_{0>{\infty}}$ were $8034.2{\pm}960.7$ and $10464.1{\pm}681.5\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, respectively. The terminal half-life was $21.9{\pm}7.6$ hr. $AUC_{0->24hr}$ and $AUC_{0>{\infty}}$ were $4292.4{\pm}523.0$ and $6111.2{\pm}756.2\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, respectively, after 20 mg/kg of intravenous administration. The terminal half-life after intravenous administration was $25.1{\pm}9.4$ hr. Bioavailability of KP10 was determined to 86%. The excretion amount into the urine within 48 hr was approximately 4.7 to 6.7% of the dose administered. These data may be beneficial to the anti-obesity drug development of KP10.

The objective of the study was to prepare self-microeulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) incorporating atorvastatin calcium and evaluate its properties and oral bioavailability. Solubility of atorvastatin in various vehicles was determined. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify the good self-emulsification region. The droplet size distributions of the resultant emulsions were determined by dynamic light scattering measurement. The mean droplet size of chosen formulation (20% ethyl oleate, 40% tween-80, 40% Carbitol$^{(R)}$) was $23.4{\pm}1.3$ nm. The SMEDDS incorporating atorvastatin calcium appeared to be associated with better performance in dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies, compared with raw atorvastatin calcium. In dissolution test, the release percentage of atorvastatin from SMEDDS mixture could rapidly reach more than 95% within 3 min. Oral $AUC_{0{\rightarrow}8hr}$ values in SD rats was $1994{\pm}335\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, which significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with raw atorvastatin calcium. The SMEDDS formulation was relatively stable when stored at $4^{\circ}C$ during 3 months. Our studies illustrated the potential use of SMEDDS for the delivery of hydrophobic compounds, such as atorvastatin, by the oral route.

Carduus marianus extract (formally called silymarin) have been used mainly as a medicament for hepatobiliary diseases. The major component of silymarin is silybin, which constitutes between 50 and 70% of the drug and is the major active component. Many experiments show the efficacy of silybin parenterally administerated. But, its bioavailability is low after oral administration due to its low solubility in water. (omitted)

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (size: 30 nm) were prepared by the supercritical synthesis method, Acute oral toxicity and tissue distribution of the nanoparticles were evaluated by a single administration in rats. Oral administration of the nanoparticles to the rats did not lead to death when the animals were treated by a dose of 5 g/kg (high dose) as well as 100 mg/kg (low dose). Abnormal clinical signs, changes in serum biochemistry and hematology were not observed in high-dose treated group compared to the vehicle control group. Lesions in liver, lung and kidney were not observed in high-dose treated group by histopathological examination. Tissue distribution analysis in liver, kidney, spleen, lung, testis and brain was performed on day 1, day 7 and day 14 after treatment. The average values of the accumulated cerium oxide nanoparticles were elevated in all tissues but statistical significance was only shown in lung. Low levels of tissue distributions after a single oral administration seem to be the low bioavailability of the nanoparticles.
