Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Steady-State, Minimum and Maximum Concentrations

115
Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is commonly administered via intermittent intravenous infusion to treat severe infections. An intermittent one-hour infusion of gentamicin, administered at eight-hour intervals, allows for precise control of plasma drug concentrations, minimizing toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy. Pharmacokinetic principles govern the dynamics of plasma concentrations and can be mathematically described using specific equations.The plasma drug concentration...

Controlled-Current Coulometry: Overview01:27

Controlled-Current Coulometry: Overview

512
Controlled current coulometry, also known as amperostatic coulometry, is a technique used in electrochemical analysis to measure the quantity of a substance through the controlled passage of current. It involves the application of a constant current to an electrochemical cell containing the analyte of interest. As the current flows through the cell, the analyte undergoes a redox reaction at the electrode surface, resulting in a charge transfer. By monitoring the time required for a certain...

Controlled-Current Coulometry: Coulometric Titration

390
Coulometric titrations are a form of titrimetric analysis where the reagent is generated electrically, and its amount is evaluated based on current and generating time. The electron serves as the standard reagent. The procedure is similar to conventional titrations, such as endpoint detection.
The fundamental requirements for coulometric titrations are (1) 100% efficiency in the reagent-generating electrode reaction and (2) a stoichiometric and preferably rapid reaction between the generated...

Acid-Base Titration Curves02:23

Acid-Base Titration Curves

137.1K
A titration curve is a plot of some solution property versus the amount of added titrant. For acid-base titrations, solution pH is a useful property to monitor because it varies predictably with the solution composition and, therefore, may be used to monitor the titration’s progress and detect its endpoint. Acid-base titration can be performed with a strong acid and a strong base, a strong acid and a weak base, or a strong base and a weak acid.
For a titration carried out for 25.00 mL of...

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

3.9K
A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Complexometric EDTA Titration Curves

1.9K
EDTA titration curves determine the free metal ion concentration. The titration curve represents the change in concentration of free metal ions (p function) as a function of the volume of EDTA added. This curve consists of three regions: before, at, and after equivalence points. Excess free metal ions are present before the equivalence point. Equal concentrations of metal ions and EDTA are present at the equivalence point. After the equivalence point, excess EDTA exists. This means slight...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Deviating negative controls in dose-response studies can bias results. Omitting controls or using specific models like log-logistic 4pLL or Brain-Cousens can improve accuracy for effective concentration estimation.

Area of Science:

  • Cell biology
  • Pharmacology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Dose-response and concentration-response curves are essential in biological and toxicological studies.
  • Normalization using negative controls is standard but can introduce bias if control data deviate from low-concentration test data.
  • Biased normalization leads to inaccurate effective concentration (e.g., EC50) estimates, a common issue in toxicological publications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of deviating negative controls on concentration-response curve fitting.
  • To propose and evaluate strategies for handling problematic control data.
  • To provide data-driven recommendations for accurate parameter estimation in dose-response studies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review to assess the prevalence of the control deviation problem.
  • Controlled simulation studies to compare different data handling strategies.
  • Application of recommended methods to a real-world concentration-response dataset.

Main Results:

  • Deviating negative controls significantly bias concentration-response curve parameters and effective concentration values.
  • Omitting control data is a viable strategy when no-effect concentrations are present and control data deviate.
  • The log-logistic 4pLL model is a robust default, while the Brain-Cousens model may be superior when data are missing in the no-effect range.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate estimation of effective concentrations requires careful handling of negative control data.
  • Specific strategies, including model selection and data omission, can mitigate bias caused by deviating controls.
  • Recommendations are provided for optimizing data analysis in dose-response studies to ensure reliable quantitative measures.
