    Notes: Abstract Objective: To assess the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability/bioequivalence of three commercial tablet formulations of mefloquine, i.e. Lariam (reference formulation), Mephaquin 100 Lactab and Eloquin-250, when given sequentially after dihydroartemisinin in Thai patients with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Methods: Twenty-nine Thai patients with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria were randomised to receive an initial dose of 300 mg dihydroartemisinin, followed by 1250 mg mefloquine (at 24 h and 30 h after dihydroartemisinin) given as either Lariam (n=10 cases), Mephaquin (n=9 cases) or Eloquin-250 (n=10 cases). Serial blood samples were obtained up to day 42 after treatment with mefloquine. Mefloquine concentrations were determined in whole blood by means of ultraviolet high-performance liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters of mefloquine were estimated using non-compartmental and compartmental analysis. Results: The three combination regimens were well tolerated. Patients in all treatment groups had a rapid initial response. However, nine patients (four and five cases in regimen containing Mephaquin 100 Lactab and Eloquin-250, respectively) had reappearance of parasitaemia during the follow-up period. Mefloquine from the three formulations showed significantly different pharmacokinetic and bioavailability metrics. Significantly lower peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and areas under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC; AUC0–48h, AUC0–7days, and total AUC) were observed with Mephaquin 100 Lactab than with the other two formulations. Mean values for relative bioavailability of the test to standard products were 49.1% (Mephaquin 100 Lactab) and 72.4% (Eloquine-250). Based on the criteria set, the bioavailability of the two test products (Mephaquin 100 Lactab and Eloquine-250) was considered non-equivalent to the reference product with respect to the rate (tmax, Cmax) and extent (AUC0–48h, AUC0–7days, total AUC) of mefloquine absorption.

    Notes: Abstract Investigations in animals have suggested that conjugation of paracetamol may be reduced in malaria. We have measured plasma concentrations and the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its phase II metabolites in eight Thai patients during uncomplicated falciparum malaria and in convalescence, following a 1000 mg single oral dose. The apparent oral clearance (Malaria, 3.6; Convalescence, 3.9; ml·min−1·kg−1), the elimination half-life (Malaria, 3.8; Convalescence, 3.7 h) and apparent volume of distribution (Malaria, 1.2; Convalescence, 1.2; l·kg−1) of paracetamol were similar during malaria and convalescence. In addition, the urinary excretion of paracetamol and its major phase II metabolites and their formation clearances from paracetamol were not significantly different between the two study phases. These data show that clinical malaria infection has no effect on the conjugation of paracetamol in man.

    Notes: Abstract Methods: We investigated the pharmacokinetics of quinine (Qn) following administration of a single oral dose of 600 mg Qn sulphate in six male Thai patients with a moderate degree of chronic renal failure (CRF), and six male Thai subjects with normal renal function. Results: The drug was well tolerated in both groups of subjects; no major adverse reactions were observed. A marked alteration in the pharmacokinetics of Qn was found in patients with CRF compared to healthy subjects; there were six signifiicant changes in the pharmacokinetic parameters. Absorption was delayed, but increased in CRF (tmax 4.5 vs 1.6 h, Cmax 6.17 vs 3.45 μg·ml−1). Total clearance was significantly reduced 0.94 vs 2.84 ml·min−1·kg−1, whereas Vz/f remained unchanged (1.82 vs 2.78 1·kg−1). This resulted in the increased values of AUC and prolongation of the t1/2z and MRT in the patients (AUC 181.5 vs 61.8 μg·min−1·ml−1, t1/2z 26 vs 9.7 h, MRT 36.4 vs 11.3 h). Median concentrations of plasma unbound fraction of Qn collected at 4 h after drug administration in patients and healthy subjects were 7.3 vs 9.8%, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract Two new members (Bsar1a and Bsar1b) of the Sar1 gene family have been identified from a flower bud cDNA library of Brassica campestris and their functional characteristics were analyzed. The two clones differ from each other at 14 positions of the 193 amino acid residues deduced from their coding region. The amino acid sequences of Bsar1a and Bsar1b are most closely related to the Sar1 family, genes that function early in the process of vesicle budding from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The sequences contain all the conserved motifs of the Ras superfamily (G1–G4 motifs) as well as the distinctive structural feature near the C-terminus that is Sar1 specific. Our phylogenetic analysis confirmed that these two clones can indeed be considered members of the Sar1 family and that they have a close relationship to the ARF family. The Bsar1 proteins, expressed in Escherichia coli, cross-reacted with a polyclonal antibody prepared against Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sar1 protein. It also exhibited GTP-binding activity. Genomic Southern blot analysis, using the 3'-gene-specific regions of the Bsar1 cDNAs as probes, revealed that the two cDNA clones are members of a B. campestris Sar1 family that consists of 2 to 3 genes. RNA blot analysis, using the same gene-specific probes, showed that both genes are expressed with similar patterns in most tissues of the plant, including leaf, stem, root, and flower buds. Furthermore, when we placed the two Bsar1 genes under the control of the yeast pGK1 promoter into the temperature-sensitive mutant yeast strain S. cerevisiae Sec12-1, they suppressed the mutation which consists of a defect in vesicle transport. The amino acid sequence similarity, the GTP-binding activity, and the functional suppression of the yeast mutation suggest that the Bsar1 proteins are functional homologues of the Sar1 protein in S. cerevisiae and that they may perform similar biological functions.
