    Notes: Abstract. Objective and Design: To investigate effects of ER-34122, a novel dual 5-lipoxygenase (LOX)/cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, and indomethacin on progression of articular lesions in MRL/MpJ-lpr/lpr (MRL/l) mice.¶Material: 100 male MRL/l mice.¶Treatment: ER-34122 (1-100 mg/kg) and indomethacin (1 mg/kg) were orally administered once a day to MRL/l mice from 6 to 10 or 16 weeks old.¶Methods: Articular lesions were analyzed histopathologically in the early (10 weeks old) or late (16 weeks old) stages of MRL/l mice arthritis. Serum levels of rheumatoid factor were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.¶Results: Articular lesions in the late stage of MRL/l mice arthritis were characterized by cartilage degeneration and pannus formation which were severer than those in the early stage. Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltration and subsynovial soft tissue edema were observed as characteristic lesions in the early stage. ER-34122 suppressed progression of PMN infiltration, subsynovial soft tissue edema and multiplication of synovial lining cells in the early stage of the arthritis, even though it had no significant effect on other indices of articular lesion, enlargement of lymph nodes and serum levels of rheumatoid factors. On indices of late articular lesion, ER-34122 had no significant beneficial effects. Neither in the early nor late stage, indomethacin, a COX inhibitor, had significant effect on the arthritis at the examined dose.¶Conclusions: These results disclosed that ER-34122, a dual LOX/COX inhibitor, has anti-inflammatory activity in the early stage of the spontaneous arthritis.

    Notes: Abstract: Objective and Design: Anti-arthritic effect of FTY720, a novel immunosuppressant, was compared with those of immunosuppressants cyclosporin A and tacrolimus in adjuvant- induced arthritis in rats.¶Material: Male LEW rats.¶Treatment: FTY720 (0.03-0.3 mg/kg), cyclosporin A (1-10 mg/kg) or tacrolimus (0.3-3 mg/kg) were orally administered to rats for 21 days beginning on the day (day 0) of adjuvant inoculation. In addition, the anti-arthritic effect of FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg) and cyclosporin A (10 mg/kg) were evaluated by administration to animals for 5 consecutive days (days 2-6, 6-10, and 10-14).¶Methods: Adjuvant-induced arthritis was produced by intradermal injection of 0.5 mg heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Hindpaw edema was measured plethysmographically. The day of arthritis onset was determined macroscopically. Bone degradation was determined by radiography. Peripheral blood leukocytes were classified microscopically.¶Results: All test compounds inhibited the incidence of arthritis, hindpaw edema and bone destruction. In addition, FTY720 but not cyclosporin A or tacrolimus markedly decreased the number of peripheral blood lymphocytes. FTY720 treatment on days 6 to 10 inhibited the bone destruction and hindpaw edema.¶Conclusion: These results suggest that the anti-arthritic ef-fect of FTY720 in this adjuvant-induced arthritic model was more potent than those of cyclosporin A and tacrolimus. FTY720 administered on days 6 to 10 showed the inhibitory effect on the bone destruction and hindpaw edema. FTY720 may be effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.¶

    Notes: Abstract. Objective and Design: To investigate the effect of ER-34122, a novel pyrazole derivative, on 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite production in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo.¶Material: In vitro, lysate of rat basophilic leukemia cells, the microsome fraction of sheep seminal vesicles, human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, human synovial cells, and human monocytes. Ex vivo and in vivo, male Balb/c mice or SD rats.¶Treatment: In ex vivo study, ER-34122 (0.03-1 mg/kg) was orally administered 1 h before withdrawal of blood samples. In carrageenin-induced paw edema, ER-34122 (3–100 mg/kg) and indomethacin (1–10 mg/kg) were orally administered 1 h before carrageenin injection. In arachidonic acid-induced ear inflammation, ER-34122 (0.3–10 mg/kg), zileuton (10–100 mg/kg) and indomethacin (0.3-3 mg/kg) were orally administered 1 h before arachidonic acid application.¶Methods: 5-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and other eicosanoids were determined by using an HPLC method and enzyme immunoassay, respectively. Rat hind paw edema and mouse ear edema were assessed by measuring paw volume and ear thickness, respectively. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and eicosanoid content of the ear tissue were also determined.¶Results: ER-34122 inhibited both LOX and COX product generation in vitro, and ex vivo. ER-34122 and indomethacin inhibited carrageenin-induced paw edema formation. In the arachidonic acid-induced ear inflammation, ER-34122 inhibited inflammatory responses (edema formation and MPO accumulation) as well as eicosanoids (LTB4, LTC4 and PGE2) generation. A representative LOX inhibitor, zileuton, also inhibited these inflammatory responses, while a COX inhibitor, indomethacin, did not suppress them though it completely inhibited PGE2 generation.¶Conclusions: The anti-inflammatory characteristics of ER-34122 are considered to be superior to those of COX inhibitors such as indomethacin, because in addition to its inhibitory activity on the COX pathway, ER-34122 inhibits LOX products generation, as revealed by the inhibition of edema formation or polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration in the arachidonic acid-induced ear inflammation model.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetic parameters of antipyrine (AP) were examined in 45 normal healthy subjects (18 heavy smokers, 5 mild smokers, and 22 nonsmokers) and in 12 patients with Gilbert's syndrome (GS), amongst whom 2 mild and 1 heavy smokers were included. Heavy smokers were defined as persons smoking more than 20 cigarettes/day and mild smokers as those smoking less than 10 cigarettes/day. Significant differences (unpaired Student's t-test) in the elimination t1/2 of AP among the study groups and in its total plasma clearance (CL) were observed without any change in the apparent volume of distribution. The individual CL values varied within the same study groups, but the mean±SD (0.026±0.004 l/h/kg) in the GS patients did not significantly differ from that in normal nonsmokers (0.025±0.006 l/h/kg) or in normal mild smokers (0.028±0.001 l/h/kg). When the 3 patients with GS who smoked were excluded, the mean CL of the group (0.025 l/h/kg) was again comparable to that of the normal nonsmokers and mild smokers. The mean (±SD) CL in normal heavy smokers (0.040±0.012 l/h/kg) was significantly greater than in normal mild smokers (p〈0.05), in normal nonsmokers (p〈0.001) and in patients with GS (p〈0.001). The results suggest that drug oxidation capacity estimated from the total plasma CL of AP appears unimpaired in GS.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen was studied in the same healthy subjects after single oral, intramuscular and rectal doses, and after repeated oral administration. No significant difference in the mean t1/2 (1.13–1.27 h) was observed after the different modes of administration. The mean [AUC] 0 ∞ after rectal administration of a suppository showed the minimum significant difference (p〈0.05) from that after oral administration of the capsule. The apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) was approximately 10–15% of body weight. The renal contribution (mean, 0.10–0.15 ml/min/kg) to the plasma clearance of free ketoprofen was assumed to be, at most, 8.3–12.9%. The projected cumulative excretion of total (free plus conjugated) ketoprofen via urine exceeded 63–75% of the dose, of which approximately 90% was ketoprofen glucuronide. A mean of 71–96% and 73–93% of the oral capsule was estimated to be systemically available after administration of the intramuscular preparation and rectal suppository, respectively. In four of seven subjects, CPK concentration was elevated after the intramuscular injection. The mean steady-state concentration of ketoprofen in plasma ranged from 0.43 to 5.62 µg/ml after the final dose of a 50 mg q.i.d. regimen. The disposition data and plasma levels observed at steady-state were in agreement with those predicted from the single oral dose study. The accumulation ratio was 1.08±0.08. The results suggest that the rectal suppository can be recommended as an extravascular mode of administration of this drug.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of theophylline following 10 days of multiple doses of a plain uncoated (640 mg, q.i.d.) and a sustained-release tablet formulation (600 mg, b.i.d.) were related to habitual smoking in 11 healthy adult male volunteers, who had previously taken part in a single-dose study of an intravenous preparation of theophylline and of the same oral dosage form. There were significant differences (p〈0.05 to 0.01) in the steady-state mean and minimum theophylline concentration and AUC between the groups (6 smokers versus 5 nonsmokers), but not between other variables. A difference (p〈0.05) in peak time was also found between the dosage forms. The mean elimination t1/2 was significantly (p〈0.05) shorter in smokers than in nonsmokers. The intersubject variability in plasma theophylline concentration observed on the final trial day in the smoking group was larger and diverged more from simulation curves generated from the mean pharmacokinetic parameters of the single-dose study of the same formulations as compared to that of the nonsmoking group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean accumulation ratio and absolute bioavailability of the two dosage forms. The mean morning (7 a.m.) trough theophylline concentrations after both formulations were significantly (p〈0.05 to 0.01) greater than the evening (7 p.m.) values within the same group. The average number of reported side-effects was significantly (p〈0.001) greater during the earlier period (Days 1 to 3) than the later period of the trial. A trend was observed suggesting that the incidence of side-effects was less in smokers than in nonsmokers. The results indicate that smoking is a determinant not only of enhanced elimination of theophylline but that it also produces more variability in the plasma level, irrespective of the dosage form administered or the dosing scheme employed. There may be circadian variation in theophylline kinetics.

    Notes: Summary The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of theophylline from a plain uncoated and 2 newly designed, sustained-release tablet formulations, as compared to intravenous aminophylline, were studied in 12 healthy adult male volunteers. The subjects were divided into two groups (n=6) with respect to smoking habit and on 4 separate occasions each received, on a randomized cross-over basis, a single dose of 400 mg equivalent of theophylline from every dosage form. The intravenous aminophylline study showed that habitual smoking had a significant (p〈0.05) effect on plasma theophylline clearance (0.051±0.006 vs 0.035±0.004 l/kg/h). Smoking significantly reduced the raw AUC from the 4 dosage forms (p〈0.05), but did not change the characteristics of absorption of each formulation. There was a non-significant trend towards reduced absolute bioavailability of theophylline from sustained-release formulations in smokers (percentage mean difference — 16% for one formulation and 13% for another). The trend was not observed for the plain uncoated tablet, which was rapidly absorbed (p〈0.01 to 0.05 in Ka, tmax and Cmax compared to sustained-release tablets). Similarity of the in vitro dissolution profiles of the two sustained-release formulations did not imply similarity of the in vivo absorption characteristics. Plasma clearances of theophylline and antipyrine were significantly correlated (p〈0.05,r=0.693,n=10). Thus, smoking enhanced the elimination of theophylline regardless of the dosage form administered. However, the extent to which habitual smoking may affect the hepatic first-pass effect on theophylline from sustained-release formulations requires further study. The results also suggest that theophylline and antipyrine may share a similar or common and presumably polycyclic hydrocarbon-inducible form(s) of microsomal drugmetabolizing enzyme.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of a new nonselective β-adrenoreceptor blocking agent, carteolol, were investigated after administration of single intravenous and oral doses to eight normal volunteers. Plasma and urine drug concentrations were measured by an HPLC method. The pharmacokinetic parameters after intravenous dosing were obtained by a two-compartment analysis: elimination or β-phase t1/2 4.7±0.3 h; Vc, 0.74±0.101/kg; Vd, 4.05±0.48 l/kg; Cl, 10.13±0.94 ml/min/kg; ClR, 6.56±0.58 ml/min/kg; and ClNR, 3.57±0.40 ml/min/kg. The absolute bioavailability obtained from plasma data was 83.7±8.0%, which was consistent with that derived from analysis of urine of 82.7±4.2%. The amounts excreted unchanged in urine up to 48 h after the intravenous and oral doses were 65.0±1.5% and 53.8±3.2% of the administered doses, respectively. The t1/2 for removal of the drug derived from plasma and urine findings after intravenous and oral dosing were similar, which indicates that the main route of elimination of carteolol is via the kidneys. As the ClR of carteolol exceeded the Cl of creatinine there may be renal tubular secretion of the drug.

    Notes: Summary The concentration-beta blocking effect and time-effect relationships of carteolol were examined in eight normal adults given 15 mg i.v. and 20 mg orally on separate occasions. Resting and post-exercise blood pressures and heart rates were assessed before and at various times up to 48 h after each dose. Carteolol, a β-blocker with some partial agonist activity, produced an insignificant, transient increase in heart rate 2 to 6 h after both doses, and a fall (p〈0.05) in diastolic blood pressure 4 and 6 h after the intravenous dose and 6 h after the oral dose in the resting supine position, as compared to the corresponding baseline values. All values of the post-exercise heart rate and the double product after each of the doses were significantly (p〈0.001) below the baseline values for the entire period (48 h) of observation. A significant correlation between the log plasma carteolol concentration (log C) and its beta-blocking effect (E: p〈0.001, r=0.508 i.v.; p〈0.001, r=0.626, p.o.) was found. The r-values for individuals were higher (0.852 to 0.977, intravenous; 0.817 to 0.981, oral) than for the group as a whole. The slope (m) of the relationship, E=m·log C+r, showed a certain variance within and between individuals. When the absolute reduction in exercise-induced heart rate was plotted against time and the rate of decline of effect (Rd) and duration of action were estimated from the time-effect relationship, the mean Rd values were 0.655 and 0.462 beats/min per h, and for the duration of action they were 83.8 and 123.9 h after the intravenous and oral doses, respectively. The effect declined at a slower rate (p〈0.02) and the duration of beta-blockade was longer (p〈0.01) after the oral dose.
