DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

22.7K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Measurement of Bioavailability: Pharmacodynamic Methods

947
Pharmacodynamic methods provide insights into a drug's effects on physiological processes over time and play a crucial role in understanding bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. These methods can be broadly classified into acute pharmacological and therapeutic response approaches, each with distinct mechanisms and applications.The acute pharmacological response method directly correlates a drug's physiological effects, such as ECG or pupil diameter changes, to its time course in the body.

Measurement of Bioavailability: Pharmacokinetic Methods

398
Pharmacokinetics is a vital branch of pharmacology that examines how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body. Two key methodologies in pharmacokinetics are plasma drug concentration studies and urinary drug excretion analyses, both of which provide critical insights into a drug's therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability.Plasma Drug Concentration-Time StudiesPlasma drug concentration-time studies involve analyzing blood samples at specific intervals to quantify...

Bioavailability: Influencing Factors01:22

Bioavailability: Influencing Factors

567
Bioavailability refers to the extent and rate at which a drug reaches systemic circulation in its active form. Extent refers to the amount of the drug that makes it into circulation, while rate is the speed at which it enters circulation. It is influenced by several factors critical for optimizing drug formulations, dosing regimens, and therapeutic outcomes.Physicochemical properties of drugs and formulationsThe solubility, stability, and dissolution rate of a drug significantly impact its...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Determination and Conceptual Approaches in Overcoming Bioavailability Problems

321
Bioavailability is a critical pharmacological concept that measures the extent and rate at which an active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety enters the systemic circulation, remaining unchanged. It's a pivotal factor in determining a drug's efficacy and safety.The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) plays an essential role in drug development by categorizing drugs into four classes based on their solubility and permeability. This classification aids in understanding drug absorption...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Bioavailability01:30

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Bioavailability

105
Modified-release (MR) dosage forms are designed to extend drug release over time, thereby maintaining stable plasma concentrations and reducing dosing frequency. However, their bioavailability is typically below 100% due to incomplete drug release and presystemic metabolism, and limitations in drug permeability across the gastrointestinal epithelium, all of which can restrict the fraction of the drug reaching systemic circulation. Consequently, studying the in vivo bioavailability of MR...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Toxicology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Chemical bioavailability is crucial for environmental risk assessment but current methods have limitations.
  • Previous work developed a genomics-based approach using microarrays and regression modeling to predict explosive compound bioavailability in earthworms.
  • This study aimed to refine and validate this approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare 18 different regression models for predicting chemical bioavailability.

Main Methods:

  • Application of a refined genomics-based approach to earthworm gene expression datasets.
  • Utilized microarray technology and advanced regression modeling techniques.
  • Compared 18 regression models with simultaneous variable selection and parameter estimation.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high prediction accuracy (R(2) = 0.71-0.82) for bioavailability.
  • Demonstrated that accurate predictions can be made with a low model complexity (3-10 predictor genes).
  • Results are significantly more encouraging than previous findings.

Conclusions:

  • The refined genomics-based approach shows promise for measuring chemical bioavailability.
