Vitamin A palmitate, an oily drug which has low chemical stability and is poorly absorbed in the intestine, was formulated into a novel powdered dosage form. This is designated as a redispersible dry emulsion by freeze-drying technique. Before preparing a dry emulsion, vitamin A palmitate oil in solid in water (O/S/W) emulsion with soybean oil and coconut oil using Aerosil 200 as an emulsion stabilizer and polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-blockcopolymer (Pluronic F68) as a surfactant was prepared. The resultants of the stability tests indicated that vitamin A palmitate O/S/W emulsion was improved on increasing the oil content of the formulation. The resultant dry emulsion particles have a good stabilities and free flow properties and readily released the oily droplets to form stable emulsions on rehydration. The drug releasing property from the resultant dry emulsion particles was dependent on factors such as amount of oily carrier(soybean oil) and surfactant(Pluronic F68) formulated. Above 80% of vitamin A palmitate content was released from the dry emulsion for 1 hour. It was deduced that vitamin A palmitate dry emulsion was definitely suitable for oral administration, since small droplets of vitamine A palmitate from the dry emulsion may alter the drug absorption profile resulting in bioavailability enhancement.

Effects of aluminum magnesium hydroxide (A) and cimetidine (C) on the pharmacokinetics of minocycline (M) were investigated in female rats. Blood samples were collected at various time intervals until 36 hrs following oral dosing of drugs. Plasma minocycline concentrations were determined by HPLC. Control group (M), $T_1$ group (M+A), $T_2$ group (A+M after 2 hrs), $T_3$ group (M+A after 2 hrs), $T_4$ group (M+C) and $T_5$ group (C+M after 2 hrs) were divided to examine interaction of the drugs with minocycline. Plasma minocyline level-time curves were well described by two-compartment open model with first-order absorption in rats. Antacid treatment was associated with reduced of 71.0, 45.9, 35.7% in minocycline absorption rate $constant(K_{\alpha})$, maximum plasma $concentration(C_{max})$, and relative $bioavailability(F_{rel})$, respectively. Cimetidine treatment group exhibited no significant changes in plasma level-time curve when compared with control group and did not affect minocycline absorption as by any of these three parameters.

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a major metabolite of curcumin, which is obtained from Curcuma longa. THC has various benefits and overcomes the bioavailability issue of curcumin. To establish it as a pharmacologically active molecule, its safety profile has to be determined. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the preclinical safety profile of THC in a 90-day subchronic and reproductive/developmental toxicity study in Wistar rats. THC at oral doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg was administered daily for 90 days. Rats in the recovery group were kept for 14 days after treatment termination. The animals were observed for treatment-related morbidity, mortality, and changes in clinical signs, clinical pathology, and histopathology. In the reproductive/developmental toxicity study, THC at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg was administered orally to rats and the reproductive/developmental parameters in adult male and female rats and pups were observed. THC at up to 400 mg/kg/day of did not have any significant effect on all parameters in male and female rats in both toxicity studies. Thus, 400 mg/kg/day can be considered as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level of THC in rats.

Fargesin, a tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignan isolated from Flos Magnoliae, shows anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-allergic, and anti-hypertensive activities. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of fargesin in mice, a sensitive, simple, and selective liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometric method using electrospray ionization and parallel reaction monitoring mode was developed and validated for the quantification of fargesin in mouse plasma. Protein precipitation of 6 µL mouse plasma with methanol was used as sample clean-up procedure. The standard curve was linear over the range of 0.2-500 ng/mL in mouse plasma with the lower limit of quantification level at 0.2 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day coefficient variations and accuracies for fargesin at four quality control concentrations including were 3.6-11.3% and 90.0-106.6%, respectively. Intravenously injected fargesin disappeared rapidly from the plasma with high clearance values (53.2-55.5 mL/min/kg) at 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg doses. Absolute bioavailability of fargesin was 4.1-9.6% after oral administration of fargesin at doses of 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg to mice.

A novel retinol derivative, polyethoxylated retinamide (Medimin A) was synthesized, as an anti-aging agent. Collagen synthesis, skin permeation, stability, and toxicity of Medimin A were evaluated and compared with those of retinol and retinyl palmitate. In vitro collagen synthesis was evaluated by quantitative assay of [$^3H$]-proline incorporation into collagenase sensitive protein in fibroblast cultures. For in vitro skin permeation experiments, Franz diffusion cells (effective diffusion area: $1, 766{\;}\textrm{cm}^2$) and the excised skin of female hairless mouse aged 8 weeks were used The stabilities of retlnoids were evaluated at two different temperature ($25{\;}^{\circ}C$ and $40{\;}^{\circ}C$) and under UV in solubilized state and in OW emulsion. To estimate the safety, acute oral toxicity, acute dermal toxicity, primary skin irritation, acute eye irritation and human patch test were performed The effect of Medimin A on collagen synthesis was similar to that of retinol. The skin permeability of Medimin A was higher than those of retinol and retinyl palmitate. The Medimin A was more stable than retinol and retinyl palmitate. Medimin A was nontoxic in various toxicological tests. These results suggest that Medimin A would be a good anti-aging agent for enhancing bioavailability and stability.

Purpose : This study was aim to evaluate effects of pharmacodynamics and toxicity in combination therapy of donepezil with Gongjindan. The effects of Gongjindan co-administration on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of donepezil were observed after single and 7-day repeated oral co-administration with 1.5hr-intervals, to evaluate synergic pharmacodynamics and reduce toxicity of combination therapy of donepezil with Gongjindan. Materials and Methods : After 10mg/kg of donepezil treatment, Gongjindan100mg/kg was administered with 1.5hr-intervals. The plasma were collected at 30min before administration, 30min, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24hrs after end of first and last 7th donepezil treatment, and plasma concentrations of donepezil were analyzed using LC-MS/MS methods. Results : Gongjindan markedly inhibited the absorption of donepezilregardless of sample time, from 30min to 8hrs after end of first 1.5hr-interval co-administration as compared with donepezil single treated rats. Especially the absorption of donepezil was significantly decreased at 2, 4, 6 and 8hrs after co-administration as compared with donepezilsingle treated rats. Accordingly, the Cmax (-26.236%), $AUC_{0-t}$(-26.02%) and $AUC_{0-inf}$(-25.90%) of donepezil in 1.5hr-interval co-administered rats were dramatically decreased as compared with donepezilsingle treated rats, respectively. However, no meaningful changes on the plasma donepezil concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters were detected after end of last 7th 1.5hr-interval co-administration as compared with donerezil single treated rats, except for non-significant slight increases of Tmax(16.67%) detected in co-administered rats as compared with donepezil single treated rats. Conclusion : These findings are considered as direct evidences that Gongjindan also decreased oral bioavailability of donerezil as inhibited the absorptions, when they were co-administered with 1.5hr-intervals, but they may be adapted after 7 days continuous repeated l.5hr-interval co-administration.

세리신을 철분과 결합력이 우수한 가수분해물을 제조하기 위하여 다양한 효소 처리를 실시하였으며 세리신 가수분해물을 이용하여 철분과 결합력을 검토하였다. 고분자인 세리신 단백질 분말을 효소 처리하지 않은 control과 비교한 결과 Flavourzyme(16.2 mg/mL)을 처리한 경우 유리 아미노산의 함량이 유의적으로 증가하였다. Flavourzyme 세리신 가수분해물에 각각 1,000 ppm과 2,000 ppm의 $FeSO_4$을 넣어 교반한 후 80%에탄올 침전 후 얻은 상등액과 침전물을 Fe 함량을 측정한 결과 유기철분 1,000 ppm의 철분의 양은 상등액($7.8\;{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 침전($191.5\;{\mu}g/mL$)이 높은 값을 나타내며 유기철분 2,000 ppm 역시도 상등액($8.5\;{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 침전($411.0\;{\mu}g/mL$)이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 2주간 철분 결핍 식이를 투여한 쥐를 4군으로 분리한 후 형태가 다른 3종의 철분을 1주간 투여한 결과 체중증가량이나 식이섭취율 및 식이효율을 측정한 결과 모든 투여군에서 군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 체내 흡수된 철분의 농도를 측정한 결과 혈청($2.0\;{\mu}g/mL$)과 간($47.9\;{\mu}g/mL$) 모두 무처치 대조군(DD)에서 가장 낮은 철분 농도가 관찰되었다. 형태를 달리한 철분을 투여한 모든 군에서 무처치 대조군보다 철분의 농도가 혈청 및 간에서 모두 유의적으로 증가하였다. 세리신을 이용하여 제조한 유기철분 투여군은 간에서 $80.1\;{\mu}g/mL$, 혈청에서 $4.2\;{\mu}g/mL$의 철분 농도가 관찰되었으며, 양성 대조군인 헴철 투여군에서는 간에서 $70.6\;{\mu}g/mL$, 혈청에서 $3.2\;{\mu}g/mL$의 철분 농도가 관찰되었으나 두 투여군 간의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 무기철분을 투여한 군(DD+II)보다는 간에서의 철분 함량($67.9\;{\mu}g/mL$)이 유의적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나 유기철분이나 헴철보다는 유의적인 수준에서 낮게 관찰되었다. 혈중 헤모글로빈 농도는 무처치 대조군(8.9 g/dL)에 비해 철분 처치군(DD+HI: 12.2 g/dL, DD+OI: 12.6 g/dL, DD+II: 12.0 g/dL)이 유의적으로 높았으나 철분의 형태에 따른 유의적 차이는 관찰되지 않았다.

The bioequivalence of two commercial choline magnesium trisalicylate (CMT) tablets was evaluated in 10 normal male subjects (age 21-27 yr, mean 23 yr) following single oral administrations of two products. Test product was $Trimax^{\circledR}$ tablet (Hyundai Pharm. Ind. Co., Ltd., Korea) and reference product was $Trilisate^{\circledR}$ tablet (Purdue Frederick, U.S.A.). Both products contained 500 mg salicylate. In the study, ten volunteers were administered one tablet of $Trimax^{\circledR}$ or $Trilisate^{\circledR}$ with randomized two period cross-over study. The pharmacokinetic parameters of two products were statistically compared using Student's t-test and ANOVA. When Student's t-test was applied, mean area under the curves (AUC) of $Trilisate^{\circledR}$ and $Trimax^{\circledR}$ were $388.88{\pm}74.99\; {\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml$ and $390.63{\pm}63.02\;{\mu}g{\cdot}hr/ml$ hrlm!, respectively, which were not significantly different (p>0.05). The mean peak concentrations $(C_{max})$ and mean times to peak $(T_{max})$ of $Trilisate^{\circledR}$ and $Trimax^{\circledR}$ were $71.1{\pm}12.2$ and $72.9{\pm}10.7\;{\mu}g/ml$, and $72{\pm}33$ and $57{\pm}36min$, respectively, which were not significantly different (p>0.05). The mean terminal phase half-lives $(t_{l/2ter})$ of the two products were $2.57{\pm}0.47$ and $2.43{\pm}0.40$ hr, and also they were not significantly different (p>0.05). When ANOVA was applied, the parameters of the two products were not also significantly different each other. Based on the above results, it has been concluded that the bioavailability of $Trimax^{\circledR}$ tablet was not significantly different from that of $Trilisate^{\circledR}$ tablet.

The bioequivalence of two clarithromvcin products was evaluated with 16 normal male volunteers (age 23-28 yr, body weight 57.5-75.517g) following single oral dose. Test product was ReYon Clarithromycin tablets (ReYon Pharm. Corp., Korea) and reference product was Klarici $d_{R}$ tablets (Abbott Korea). Both products contain 250 mg of clarithromucin. One tablet of the test or the reference product was administered to the volunteers, respectively, by randomized two period cross-over study (2$\times$2 Latin square method). The determination of clarithromycin was accomplished using a modified agar well diffusion bioassay. As a result of the assay validation, the quantification of clarithromycin in human serum by this technique was possible down to 0.03$\mu$g/ml using 100$\mu$l of serum. The coefficient of variation (C.V.) was less than 10%. Average drug concentrations at each sampling time and pharmacokinetic parameters calculated were not significantly different between two products P>0.05); the area under the curve to last sampling time (24 hr) (AU $Co_{24hr}$ (8.10$\pm$ 1.26 vs 8.22$\pm$ 1.627g . hr/ml), AUC from time zero to infinite (AU $Co_{\infty}$) (8.61 $\pm$ 1.28 vs 8.84$\pm$ 1.71 $\mu$g . hr/ml), maximum plasma concentration ( $C_{msx}$) (0.87$\pm$0.22 vs 0.88$\pm$0.19 $\mu$g/ml) and time to maximum plasma concentration ( $T_{max}$) (2.69 $\pm$0.48 vs 2.56$\pm$ 0.51 hr). The differences of mean AU $Co_{24h}$, $C_{msx}$ and $T_{msx}$ between the two products (1.44, 1.39, and 4.65%, respectively) were less than 20%. The power (1-$\beta$) and treatment difference ($\Delta$) for AU $Co_{24hr}$, and $C_{max}$ were more than 0.8 and less than 0.2, respectivly. Although the power for $T_{max}$ was under 0.8, $T_{max}$. of the two products was not significantly different each other (p>0.05). These results suggest that the bioavailability of ReYon Clarithromycin tablets is not significantly different from that of Klarici $d_{R}$ tablets. Therefore, two products are bioequivalent based on the current results. results.sults.sults.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.
