چکیده
Riassunto (Farmacocinetica dei farmaci antimalarici: implicazioni terapeutiche e tossicologiche). Recenti studi sulla farmacocinetica di farmaci antimalarici in uso corrente hanno portato ad accumulare dati cospicui sul loro assorbimento, sulla loro distribuzione, sul loro metabolismo e sulla loro escrezione. Questi dati forniscono una base razionale per un uso più efficace e più sicuro di questi farmaci, soprattutto per quanto riguarda dose totale, frequenza di dosaggio e via di somministrazione.

متن کاملIntroducing New Antimalarial Analogues of Chloroquine and Amodiaquine: A Narrative Review
Antimalarial drugs with the 4-aminoquinoline scaffold such as the important drugs, chloroquine (CQ) and amodiaquine (AQ), have been used to prevent and treat malaria for many years. The importance of these drugs is related to their simple usage, high efficacy, affordability, and cost-effectiveness of their synthesis. In recent years, with the spread of parasite resistance to CQ and cross-resist...
متن کاملA Review on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Immunosuppressant Drugs
Immunosuppressants require therapeutic drug monitoring because of their narrow therapeutic index and significant inter-individual variability in blood concentrations. This variability can be because of factors like drug-nutrient interactions, drug-disease interactions, renal-insufficiency, inflammation and infection, gender, age, polymorphism and liver mass. Drug monitoring is widely practiced ...
