The preweaning piglet has been found to be a valuable research model for testing ingredients used in infant formula. As part of the safety assessment, the neonates' immune system is an important component that has to be evaluated. In this study three concurrent strategies were developed to assess immune system status. The methods included (1) immunophenotying to assess circulating innate immune cell populations, (2) monitoring of circulating cytokines, particularly in response to a positive control agent, and (3) monitoring of localized gastrointestinal tissue cytokines using immunohistochemistry (IHC), particularly in response to a positive control agent. All assays were validated using white papers and regulatory guidance within a GLP environment. To validate the assays precision, accuracy and sample stability were evaluated as needed using a fit for purpose approach. In addition animals were treated with proinflammtory substances to detect a positive versus negative signal. In conclusion, these three methods were confirmed to be robust assays to evaluate the immune system and GIT-specific immune responses of preweaning piglets. 相似文献

Equilibrium dialysis has been widely used for the measurement of the fraction of unbound drug (fu) in plasma, but it suffers from the accuracy and reliability for low fu values. To address this concern, an orthogonal approach, called the bidirectional equilibrium dialysis, is described to simultaneously measure a pair of fu values for each drug based on equilibration in 2 opposite dialysis directions: from plasma to buffer (fu,p/b) and from buffer to plasma (fu,b/p). Hypothetically, if true equilibrium is attained in both dialysis directions, the measured fu,b/p and fu,p/b values for a given drug should converge, and thus, the ratio of fu,b/p to fu,p/b becomes unity (1.0). Thus, the ratio can be used as a tangible readout for data reliability. This methodology has been extensively tested in the present study using various drugs with distinct plasma binding characteristics. Our results clearly showed that low fu values (<0.01) could be reliably determined and verified using either the standard or dilution bidirectional equilibrium dialysis method for some known highly bound drugs; for extensively bound drugs with high logD7.4, such as montelukast, bedaquiline, and venetoclax, only a range of fu can be reported with confidence because of uncertainty in the true equilibrium. 相似文献

3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) is an attractive epigenetic anticancer agent through the inhibition of the cellular enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) protein. The purpose of this study was to improve the pharmacokinetic characteristics of DZNep in vivo through developing a unilamellar pegylated liposomal formulation encapsulating DZNep (L-DZNep). A remote-loading method in the presence of phenylboronic acid (R-w-PBA) was developed to stably encapsulating DZNep inside liposomes (encapsulation efficiency = 50.7% at molar ratio of 1:10 of drug to lipids) through forming a transient PBA-DZNep complex. The pharmacokinetics of L-DZNep was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats. In comparison with free drug, encapsulation of the DZNep in pegylated liposomes resulted in 99.3% reduction of the plasma clearance, whereas it increased the elimination half-life from 1.1 h to 8.0 h and the area under the plasma concentration curve by 138-fold. These findings demonstrate a novel approach (R-w-PBA method) through the development of L-DZNep, which may be extensively applied for the encapsulation of hydrophilic nucleoside analogs containing vicinal hydroxyl groups and protonable amino in the pegylated liposomes. Additionally, the pegylated liposomes could effectively prolong the retention of DZNep in the systemic circulation and therefore is highly likely to increase the DZNep’s tumor localization. 相似文献

The in vivo pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of 2′-O-(2-methoxyethyl) (2′-MOE) modified antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), targeting apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), were characterized in multiple species. The species-specific apoB antisense inhibitors demonstrated target apoB mRNA reduction in a drug concentration and time-dependent fashion in mice, monkeys, and humans. Consistent with the concentration-dependent decreases in liver apoB mRNA, reductions in serum apoB, and LDL-C, and total cholesterol were concurrently observed in animal models and humans. Additionally, the long duration of effect after cessation of dosing correlated well with the elimination half-life of 2′-MOE modified apoB ASOs studied in mice (t1/2 ≅ 20 days) and humans (t1/2 ≅ 30 days) following parental administrations. The plasma concentrations of ISIS 301012, observed in the terminal elimination phase of both mice and monkeys were in equilibrium with liver. The partition ratios between liver and plasma were similar, approximately 6000:1, across species, and thus provide a surrogate for tissue exposure in humans. Using an inhibitory Emax model, the ASO liver EC50s were 101 ± 32, 119 ± 15, and 300 ± 191 μg/g of ASO in high-fat-fed (HF) mice, transgenic mice containing the human apoB transgene, and monkeys, respectively. The estimated liver EC50 in man, extrapolated from trough plasma exposure, was 81 ± 122 μg/g. Therefore, extraordinary consistency of the exposure-response relationship for the apoB antisense inhibitor was observed across species, including human. The cross-species PK/PD relationships provide confidence in the use of pharmacology animal models to predict human dosing for second-generation ASOs targeting the liver. 相似文献

Background
The lack of specificity of immunoassays for drugs of abuse testing (DAT), and concerns over its cost in conjunction with reflex confirmatory tests prompted us to investigate the combinatorial use of dried urine spot (DUS) and LC–MS/MS as an alternative.Methods
The method development and validation were performed in accordance with the guidelines published by FDA and CLSI.Results
In this study we established and validated the precision, accuracy, and linearity of our DUS–LC–MS/MS method, and assessed the recovery, interference, and carryover as well. The linearity check for all 19 analytes demonstrated slopes between 0.94 and 1.04, and R2 always greater than 0.99. Between-batch CV for QC at 4 difference levels ranged from 1.1% to 10%, where CV of LLOQ ranged from 1.2% to 12.8% and CV of ULOQ ranged from 0.8% to 5.1%. A concordance study with patient specimens between our method and GC–MS demonstrated 80.8% to 100% agreement. Stability of DUS specimens was assessed up to 30 days and the measured concentrations ranged from 94% to 114% of the 100 ng/mL urine calibrator used for this assessment.Conclusions
We established and validated a DUS–LC–MS/MS method for DAT that conforms to the guidelines dictated by FDA, CLSI, and SAMHSA. While our method with high sensitivity and specificity provides an alternative diagnostic utility to EMIT immunoassays, it also offers superior solutions in specimen transportation, preservation, and storage. The benefits of our method are apparent in reducing turnaround time and test costs that result in better patient care. 相似文献6.

Background
Two electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays were developed which, together, can simultaneously measure serum antibodies against pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides (PnPS) for 17 serotypes. The assays were validated for the 13 PnPS included in the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). As recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), we compared the ECL assays with the WHO reference enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and derived a threshold corresponding to the 0.35?µg/mL threshold established for the WHO reference ELISA for the non-inferiority comparison and licensure of new PCVs against invasive pneumococcal disease.Methods
A panel of 452 serum samples from children vaccinated with one of the three licensed PCVs was assessed with the ECL assays and the WHO reference ELISA. The ECL assay threshold for the aggregated seven PnPS included in the 7-valent PCV (PCV7) and serotype-specific thresholds were determined using a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve-based approach and Deming regression. To evaluate concordance between the ECL assays and the WHO reference ELISA, serostatus agreement rates between both assays and geometric means of the ratios (GMRs) of concentrations obtained with both assays were calculated.Results
The thresholds for the seven aggregated PCV7 serotypes obtained with the ROC curve-based approach and Deming regression approximated 0.35?µg/mL (0.38 and 0.34?µg/mL, respectively). Individual thresholds for the PCV13 serotypes ranged between 0.24 and 0.51?µg/mL across both approaches. Serostatus agreement rates using a 0.35?µg/mL threshold for both assays were ≥86.9% for all PCV13 serotypes. GMRs ranged between 0.85 and 1.25 for 11/13 serotypes and were <1.29 for the two remaining serotypes.Conclusion
The ECL assays were comparable to the WHO reference ELISA and offer a sensitive, time- and serum volume-saving method to quantify serotype-specific anti-PnPS antibodies in pediatric sera. A 0.35?µg/mL threshold will be used for each PCV13 serotype to assess PCV immunogenicity in clinical trials. 相似文献7.

The acceptable daily intake (ADI) of commercially available steviol glycosides is currently 0–4 mg/kg body weight (bw)/day, based on application of a 100-fold uncertainty factor to a no-observed-adverse-effect-level value from a chronic rat study. Within the 100-fold uncertainty factor is a 10-fold uncertainty factor to account for inter-species differences in toxicokinetics (4-fold) and toxicodynamics (2.5-fold). Single dose pharmacokinetics of stevioside were studied in rats (40 and 1000 mg/kg bw) and in male human subjects (40 mg/kg bw) to generate a chemical-specific, inter-species toxicokinetic adjustment factor. Tmax values for steviol were at ∼8 and ∼20 h after administration in rats and humans, respectively. Peak concentrations of steviol were similar in rats and humans, while steviol glucuronide concentrations were significantly higher in humans. Glucuronidation in rats was not saturated over the dose range 40–1000 mg/kg bw. The AUC0-last for steviol was approximately 2.8-fold greater in humans compared to rats. Chemical-specific adjustment factors for extrapolating toxicokinetics from rat to human of 1 and 2.8 were established based on Cmax and AUC0-last data respectively. Because these factors are lower than the default value of 4.0, a higher ADI for steviol glycosides of between 6 and 16 mg/kg bw/d is justified. 相似文献
