In-vitro Mutagenesis01:16

In-vitro Mutagenesis

17.2K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Equivalence: In Vitro and In Vivo Bioequivalence01:17

Equivalence: In Vitro and In Vivo Bioequivalence

295
Body:Bioequivalence studies are crucial in evaluating whether new drugs can match an approved one regarding pharmacological effects and clinical performance. These studies test if drugs, despite different dosage forms, share identical plasma concentration-time profiles. Three types of equivalence are central to these studies: chemical, pharmaceutical, and therapeutic. Chemical equivalence indicates that two or more drug products contain identical active ingredients in equal amounts.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro

678
In vitro experiments are crucial for understanding the transport and absorption of drugs through biological materials. These studies employ varied methods such as the diffusion cell method, the everted sac technique, and the everted ring technique.
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...

Bioavailability: Influencing Factors01:22

Bioavailability: Influencing Factors

472
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...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Bioavailability01:30

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Bioavailability

58
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...

Drug Metabolism: Phase I Reactions01:17

Drug Metabolism: Phase I Reactions

5.3K
A phase I reaction is a biochemical process that introduces a functionally reactive polar group to a substance. This transformation predominantly occurs in the liver, facilitated by the cytochrome P450 system of hemoproteins situated in the lipophilic endoplasmic reticulum of cells. The metabolite generated through this process can have varying polarities. If it is sufficiently polar, it can be easily excreted in the urine due to its water compatibility. However, if the metabolite is nonpolar,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Metabolomics
  • Photobiology

Background:

  • UV radiation significantly impacts skin physiology and disease.
  • Accurate modeling of UV-induced metabolic changes is crucial for medical and cosmetic applications.
  • Reproducibility of UVA1-induced metabolic alterations across different experimental systems requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the reproducibility of UVA1-induced metabolic changes in skin.
  • To compare metabolic profiles across in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models.
  • To evaluate the reliability of experimental setups in representing in vivo data.

Main Methods:

  • Metabolic profiling of skin cell cultures and explants using 1D-CPMG NMR.
  • Analysis of metabolites in culture medium and explant samples post-UVA1 treatment.
  • Microdialysis of intact skin followed by GC-TOF-MS analysis of dialysate.

Main Results:

  • Despite system-specific variations, glutamic acid, succinic acid, and threonine exhibited similar UVA1-induced changes across multiple models, including in vivo.
  • Phenylalanine, citric acid, and pyruvic acid showed comparable UVA-mediated patterns in vitro and ex vivo, but less overlap with in vivo data.
  • Metabolic responses to UVA1 irradiation varied significantly between different experimental systems.

Conclusions:

  • A metabolite-specific approach is essential for selecting appropriate experimental systems for UV irradiation studies.
  • Understanding system-dependent metabolic changes is key to reliable cutaneous research.
  • The study highlights the challenges and considerations in modeling UV-induced skin metabolism.
