Estimation model for the exposure of mycophenolic acid in early renal transplant recipients / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To establish the estimation model for the exposure of mycophenolic acid （MPA） in early renal transplant recipients [calculated by the area under the plasma concentration-time curve with 12 h （AUC0－12 h）]. METHODS Twenty kidney transplant recipients， who received triple immunosuppressive therapy of mycophenolate mofetil （MMF）+tacrolimus+ methylprednisolone， were selected and given MMF dispersible tablets （750 mg， q12 h） on the 15th day after the operation； the blood samples were collected from the patients before and 0.5， 1.0， 1.5， 2.0， 3.0， 4.0， 6.0， 8.0， 12.0 hours after the administration， respectively. The blood concentration of MPA was determined， and the pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA were calculated. The multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis method was used to fit an estimation formula for the finite sampling method suitable for MPA-AUC0－12 h of the recipients. Bland-Altman analysis was used to evaluate the agreement between the estimation formula and the classical pharmacokinetic method. RESULTS The main pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA in 20 renal transplant recipients： c0 was （1.53±0.84） μg/mL， cmax was （12.07±5.97） μg/mL， t1/2 was （5.41±3.67） h， tmax was （1.58±0.75） h， and the average AUC0－12 h calculated by the classical pharmacokinetic method was （33.95±13.40） μg·h/mL. MPA-AUC0－12 h was estimated with sampling points of “4.0， 8.0， 12.0 h”； the simplified calculation formula was AUC0－12 h＝12.058+2.819c4.0+7.045c8.0+ 3.879c12.0 （R 2＝0.934）. The predicted value had a good correlation and consistency with the measured value， and 95.0% of predicted values did not exceed the x±1.96SD （standard deviation） range. CONCLUSIONS The estimation model is established successfully for the exposure of MPA in early renal transplant recipients； the model has better prediction accuracy and fewer sampling points.

Norlichexanthone purified from plant endophyte prevents postmenopausal osteoporosis by targeting ER

Although different types of drugs are available for postmenopausal osteoporosis, the limitations of the current therapies including drug resistances and adverse effects require identification of novel anti-osteoporosis agents. Here, we defined that norlichexanthone (NOR), a natural product, is a ligand of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER

Determination of purgative constituents in Semen Euphorbiae and Semen Euphorbiae Pulveratun by HPLC / 中成药

AIM:To determine the contents of euphorbiasteroid and lathyrol diadetate benzozte in Semen Euphorbiae and Semen Euphorbiae Pulveratun from different habitats.METHODS:A kromasil C_(18) column(150 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)was used with methanol-water(68:32)as the mobile phase and UV detection was at 280 nm.RESULTS:The linear ranges of euphorbiasteroid and lathyrol diadetate benzozte were from 0.200 μg to 1.200 μg and 0.206 μg to 1.651 μg(r = 0.999 7,r = 0.999 9).The contents of euphorbiasteroid and lathyrol diadetate benzozte in Semen Euphorbiae from different habitats ranged from 0.450 8% to 0.625 1 % and 0.692 3% to 0.752 9%.The contents of two kinds of compositions in Semen Euphorbiae Pulveratun ranged from 0.156 8% to 0.221 1% and 0.232 2% to 0.283 0%.CONCLUSION:The method for quantitating euphorbiasteroid and lathyrol diadetate benzozte in Semen Euphorbiae is accurate and reliable,and can be used to control the quality of toxicity Semen Euphorbiae and Semen Euphorbiae Pulveratun.
