Evaluation of lentinan effects on cytochrome P450 activity in rats by a cocktail method
Objective(s): In this study, a cocktail of probe drugs was used to assess whether lentinan could influence the activities of rat enzymes CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9 in vivo. Materials and Methods: Fourteen days after intraperitoneal injection of lentinan, rats were given an oral dose of a cocktail solution containing phenacetin, tolbutamide, omeprazole, metoprolol, and midazolam...
متن کاملBureaucracy, Safety and Software: a Potentially Lethal Cocktail
This position paper identifies a potential problem with the evolution of software controlled safety critical systems. It observes that the rapid growth of bureaucracy in society rapidly spills over into rules for behaviour. Whether the need for the rules comes first or there is simple anticipation of the need for a rule by a bureaucrat is unclear in many cases. Many such rules lead to draconian...
متن کاملBeyond telaprevir and boceprevir: resistance and new agents for hepatitis C virus infection.
The addition of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitors telaprevir and boceprevir to peginterferon alfa with ribavirin therapy has increased cure rates in HCV infection. Numerous other direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are in advanced stages of development, including next-generation protease inhibitors, nonstructural protein (NS) 5A inhibitors, and nonnucleoside and nucleos(t)ide NS5B pol...
متن کاملEffects of boceprevir and telaprevir on the pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir
AIMS The aim was to evaluate the effect of boceprevir and telaprevir on dolutegravir pharmacokinetics (PK); the effect of dolutegravir on boceprevir and telaprevir PK was assessed through comparison with historical data for each hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug's prescribing information alone. METHODS This was a single-centre, randomized, open-label, two-cohort, two-period, one-way study in healt...
متن کاملManaging Drug-Drug Interactions With Boceprevir and Telaprevir
The treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection has been revolutionized by the introduction of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents (boceprevir and telaprevir) in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin. Although improved antiviral efficacy and shorter durations of therapy are anticipated, there are also potentially severe drug-drug interactions involving protease inh...
