    Notes: Summary The plasma and urine kinetics of rufloxacin were assessed in healthy volunteers after single (100, 200, 400 and 800 mg) and multiple (300 mg followed by 150 mg daily, Group 1, and 400 mg followed by 200 mg daily, Group 2) oral doses. The kinetics of a single oral dose of 800 mg was assessed in fasting and non-fasting subjects to assess the influence of food intake on drug absorption. The AUCs were 134, 266 and 375 μg · h · ml−1 after 100, 200 and 400 mg, respectively. The AUC after 800 mg p. o. was 715 μg · h · ml −1 in fasting subjects and 614 μg · h · ml−1 in non-fasting subjects. The parameters of the model and the mean renal clearance values indicated some departure from linearity in rufloxacin kinetics. After multiple doses the plasma drug levels during the 6th treatment day were similar to those after the first dose in Group 1 and were about 30–40% higher after the first dose in Group 2. The half-lives after the last dose were much shorter than those estimated in the single dose studies (33–36 h and 50–80 h, respectively).

    Notes: Summary The plasma kinetics of adenosine was investigated in healthy volunteers after a 1 minute infusion of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg (38, 79 and 148 μg·kg−1 respectively) and after infusion of 200 μg·kg−1 in 10 min followed by 400 μg·kg−1 in 10 min. As the dose in the 1 min infusion study was increased the mean CL of adenosine decreased (10.7, 4.70 and 4.14 l·min−1, respectively), its mean half-life increased (0.91, 1.24 and 1.86 min, respectively), and the mean volume of distribution did not show any clear trend (8–13 l). After the 20 minute infusion the plasma level of adenosine reached a peak value comparable to that observed after infusion of 5 mg in 1 min (about 0.5 μg·ml−1), but the mean clearance and half-life were significantly different (12.1 l·min−1 and 0.63 min respectively). In all the subjects the plasma concentration of adenosine had returned to the baseline value in 5–15 min after the end of the infusion.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride were investigated in 6 healthy volunteers of both sexes after i.v. injection of 500 mg of the drug, expressed as inner salt. Plasma concentrations and urinary excretion of acetyl-L-carnitine (A), L-carnitine (B) and total acid soluble L-carnitine fraction were evaluated over a period lasting from 24 h before to 48 h after the administration. Plasma concentrations of A increased quickly after administration and then declined reaching base values within 12 h. Conversely, plasma concentrations of B rose more slowly, reaching a peak in 30–60 min, and then declined to base values within 24 h. Most of the injected dose of acetyl-L-carnitine was recovered in the urine during the first 24 h after administration as B and A. Mean renal clearance of both A and B during the first 12 h after injection was higher than the base values, suggesting the presence of a saturable tubular reabsorption process which may counterbalance major changes occurring in plasma concentrations of L-carnitine pattern.

    Notes: Summary Methods for estimating the bioavailability of drugs with long elimination half-lives are examined. Provided both absorption and disposition are linear a simple linear regression method is developed which can be used to calculate bioavailability in situations where only an incomplete estimate of the area under the curve (AUC) is available. The regression method and the traditional method of comparing the AUC following an oral dose to the AUC following an i.v. dose were applied to simulated data. It was found that the AUC ratio method works well as long as absorption is complete within the time over which the AUC is computed. The regression method is less precise than the AUC ratio method but is more accurate for drugs with long absorption half-lives. When applied to published data on a beta blocker the two methods produced comparable results. The bioavailability of amiodarone in three human subjects was calculated to be 0.20, 0.44 and 0.98 using the regression method with similar results from the ratio method. It is not possible to estimate the clearance of amiodarone from single dose data.

    Notes: Summary We studied three healthy volunteers after a single i.v. bolus of amiodarone, during 1 month of chronic oral dosing and after the discontinuation of the drug. Blood concentrations of amiodarone declined rapidly in a bi-exponential fashion after i.v. bolus. The terminal half-life ranged from 10 to 17 h; after discontinuation of chronic treatment the terminal half-lives were 8–21 days. The i.v. data, the trough levels during multiple dosing and the washout phase could be simultaneously fitted using a tri-exponential equation. The subjects were carefully monitored for cardiac and thyroid function. One subject had to stop taking amiodarone because of profound bradycardia. A reduction of serum TT3 and FT3 concentrations and an increase of serum rT3 and FT4 was found.

    Notes: Background:  Acid suppression plus two antibiotics is currently considered the gold standard anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment, but the effective role of gastric antisecretory drugs is still poorly understood.Aims:  To compare a 14-day ranitidine-based triple regimen against Helicobacter pylori with one based on omeprazole, and to study the influence of antisecretory drugs on metronidazole pharmacokinetics in human plasma.Methods:  A total of 150 dyspeptic H. pylori-infected patients were randomized for ranitidine 300 mg b.d. (RCM group) or omeprazole 20 mg b.d. (OCM group) 14-day triple therapy, with clarithromycin 500 mg b.d. and metronidazole 500 mg b.d. On the eighth day of therapy, metronidazole pharmacokinetics was studied in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters (terminal half-life, area under the curve, peak-plasma level, peak time) of metronidazole were computed using standard non-compartmental methods. H. pylori status was monitored before and 4 weeks after the end of therapy by histology, serology and rapid urease test.Results:  On an intention-to-treat basis, eradication rates were 91 and 76% for the RCM and OCM groups respectively (P 〈 0.02). Significantly different pharmacokinetic parameters of metronidazole were found between the groups: peak-plasma level (P 〈 0.01) and area under the curve (P 〈 0.02).Conclusion:  Our results show that the RCM regimen was more effective than that based on OCM and that the antisecretory drugs affected metronidazole availability, increasing the efficacy of ranitidine-based regimens.

    Notes: Abstract The role of fibroblasts in the differentiation of the epidermis and its relationships with other somatic cells, specifically, keratinocytes, are studied using a skin equivalent formed from various types of fibroblasts separated from thoracic skin of a healthy donor, apparently healthy skin sites and plaques from a patient with psoriasis, keloids and upper eyelid skin of a normal subject, and keratinocytes separated from the umbilical skin of a newborn. Fibroblasts are shown to be active participants in the differentiation and formation of epidermis specificity. Various types of fibroblasts form a histologically different skin equivalent possessing the specific properties of the epidermis of the skin sites from which they were isolated.

    Notes: Summary Circadian rhythms of prolactin have been evaluated in thirteen untreated parkinsonian patients before and after 15 days of treatment with L-Dopa + carbidopa. The 24th secretory pattern was not significatively different from that observed in controls. The L-Dopa + carbidopa therapy does not change the basal circadian prolactin (PRL) rhythm. These results suggest that the tubero-infundibular dopaminergic system (TIDA) and the PRL secretion are conserved in untreated parkinsonian patients (PP). During chronic L-Dopa + carbidopa therapy, the basal PRL levels, evaluated in 21 PP, showed a correlation with the severity of clinical features. The effects of single doses of apomorphine, bromocriptine, lisuride and haloperidol, were studied on serum levels of PRL in 21 PP divided in two groups of “responders” and “non-responders”. Haloperidol induced an enhancement of serum PRL; the dopaminergic drugs, apomorphine, bromocriptine and lisuride inhibited basal PRL secretion. It seems that the TIDA system, in Parkinson disease is not significatively altered, even though presenting a remarkably slower response in “non-responders” to L-Dopa therapy. We also evaluated the effect of L-Dopa, L-Dopa + carbidopa, bromocriptine, lisuride, nomifensine and deprenyl on growth hormone secretion in six PP. The endocrine effects of dopaminergic drugs show a mild rise in comparison with controls suggesting an important alteration in the dopamine (DA) control of growth hormone (GH).
