Mathematical Model of Pharmacokinetic Behavior of Orally Administered Prednisolone in Healthy Volunteers
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of the current study was to develop mathematical models that described the pharmacokinetic behavior of prednisolone in healthy subjects after the oral administration of prednisolone. The current study is a companion piece of a related Leclercq and Copinsehi prednisolone study published in the February 1974 issue of the Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics. In the study cited here, plasma concentration versus time profiles of prednisolone were determined, however, no mathematical models of the pharmacokinetic behavior of prednisolone were developed. Therefore in the current study, mathematical models of the pharmacokinetic behavior of prednisolone were developed using mathematical and computational tools from the theory of dynamic systems. The current study demonstrated the successful use of mathematical and computational tools from the theory of dynamic systems in pharmacokinetic modeling.

Erythromycin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. This includes respiratory tract infections, skin infections, chlamydia infections, and syphilis. It may also be used during pregnancy to prevent Group B streptococcal infection in newborns [1]. It is an effective inhibitor of CYP3A4 that patently increases circulating levels of some other HMG-CoA reducta...

The activity of cytochrome p450 isozyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is modulated by grapefruit juice and herbal drugs. CYP3A4 is the major phase I drug metabolizing enzyme and P-gp is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump that regulates the intestinal absorption of orally administered drugs. Honey is commonly consumed as a dietary supplement. However, its influence on human CY...
